The show’s finale made it clear that Edgar hadn’t suddenly become a jerk in season four. But it has a pretty sharp eye for the less obvious ways people with issues act too. You’re The Worst has received a lot of praise for the way it dealt with big issues like Gretchen’s mental illness and Edgar’s PTSD. But how to escape from a toxic relationship? We’d already seen how back in season four – by an act of cruelty so brazen Jimmy would never want to see him again.

Sticking with Jimmy after years of being treated like dirt was killing him he had to break free if he was ever going to be anything more than just a sidekick. Which, we see in a flash-forward, is exactly what he needed to do to get on with his life.

It wasn’t until the second last episode of the series that we’d find out. But what possible reason could Edgar have had for being so demeaning? It also seemed strangely out of character coming from a formerly gentle and thoughtful guy. Which he does.Įven in a show rife with bad behaviour, this level of cruelty felt especially inexcusable for critics and fans alike, it was a step too far. He coolly explains to Ricky that, as money for him now is no object, he’ll give him $50 and a five star rating – if he personally smears the sauce on Edgar’s steak for him. But for once, Edgar doesn’t just take it. He bluntly violates Edgar’s trust and tells Max that his co-writer is a veteran ashamed of his past. Ricky isn’t impressed even before he’s called back in by Max because the chimichurri sauce is missing. Edgar pretends not to recognise him, then sneaks out to apologise after Ricky leaves, explaining that he hasn’t told his writing partner about his past. Then in episode 9 (“Worldstar”), the guy who delivers the pair’s food during a writing session turns out to be Ricky (Jeff Bowser), a veteran Edgar served with.
