This goes against his multiple appearances after the breakup in the original series, where he was no different from how he normally was, as well as the fact that ''he'' was the one who initiated the breakup, not Eris.

His life is honestly pretty horrible, but he remains a blissfully oblivious idiot regardless. Somewhat deconstructed in that in the same episode it is shown that Billy is fully aware of how horrible his life is and it bothers him greatly to the point of acting out in an insane fashion or trying to force others to be happy just so they cannot ruin his happiness anymore.
