GayTV Recap: Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (Episode 4x2)
The CW musical comedy Crazy Ex-Girlfriend recently began it's fourth and final season. Episode 2 of the season aired this week and the show's bisexual character Darryl (played by Pete Gardner) played a prominent role, as he coped with life as a single father.
Darryl's attempts to be a perfect dad led him to join a group of moms at the park, where he quickly felt inadequate upon seeing and hearing all of their shared knowledge of the right teethers, blankets, and the benefits of breast milk. This led the often-paranoid Darryl to focus on finding breast milk for his baby girl.
When her baby monitor malfunctioned, he called upon his ex-boyfriend, Josh (played by David Hull) to help fix it, despite their breakup over Darryl's decision to have a baby. Josh wondered why he was becoming so obsessed with his search for breast milk, leading Darryl to share his insecurity and tell him how important it is to get what's right for his daughter.
Finding a contact outside the city to get the milk he needed, Darryl convinced the baby-averse Josh to babysit so he could make the milk run. Josh reluctantly agreed, having no plans for Halloween, given his hatred of the holiday's celebration of terrible costumes and sugar-filled candy.
While Darryl made his milk run, Josh's hopes that the girl would sleep the entire time were dashed with the arrival of his friend (the other) Josh, who wanted to drop off a gift for the baby, a Halloween costume. Seeing the other Josh play with the costumed girl seemed to warm Josh a bit to the baby, leading him to check on a late Darryl.
Darryl returned, freaking Josh out with the large amount of milk he secured. Darryl panicked when Josh revealed the power was out due to a city-wide outage. He worried that the milk would spoil and Josh tried to calm him, urging him to give up his paranoia about being a single parent. The arrival of Darryl's ex-wife and his older daughter also helped him calm down, just as power was restored. They reminded him of how good of a father he has been and will continue to be.
