Recap / Youre The Worst S 5 E 2 The Pin In My Grenade

Go To

Jimmy and Gretchen reveal to Edgar and Lindsay that they plan on eloping at the courthouse instead of having a traditional wedding ceremony. Edgar and Lindsay try to convince them otherwise. After Jimmy and Gretchen both individually lose track of time and miss their appointment at the Courthouse, they take it as a sign and set a date for their wedding ceremony.

Tropes

  • Accidental Hero: Gretchen frames a male coworker for sexual harassment, leading to him getting fired, all so she can get his really nice office room. Then it turns out the guy really was a sexual harasser when other female coworkers thank Gretchen for speaking up and getting rid of him.
  • Bait-and-Switch: Lindsay gets Gretchen to at least try on a wedding dress to see how she likes it. Gretchen looks at herself in the mirror, apparently liking how she looks in it, only to say she's not changing her mind about the courthouse elopement.
  • Celebrity Crush: Gretchen had one on Jonathan Taylor Thomas as a little girl.
  • Give Me a Sign: Inverted - Jimmy and Gretchen were pretty set on doing the courthouse elopement, but after everything goes off the rails, they figure they should just go ahead with a regular wedding.
  • My Own Private "I Do": Jimmy and Gretchen were planning on doing this instead of a traditional wedding, but naturally, things don't go as planned.
