 "You're the Worst"  Season 3 opens with Gretchen Cutler (Aya Cash) facing a big dilemma. She struggles on how to tell Jimmy Shive-Overly (Chris Geere) of his father's sudden death.

This problem rose while Gretchen was also trying to get past her personal issues, with the help of her therapist. On one of the scenes of  "You're the Worst"  Season 3, while she was sorting out the mails, she came across a letter informing Jimmy that his father has already died, reports Culturess.

Scenes for  "You're the Worst"  Season 3 revealed how Gretchen sought advice from her therapist. She later on learned that she had to tell Jimmy immediately. She resorted on asking help from her bestfriend, Lindsay (Kether Donohue). Lindsay, on the other hand, is on a tight spot after literally stabbing her husband Paul (Allan McLeod) in the back.

Lindsay has personal issues, too, and is having a hard time looking for ways to be romantically attached with her husband again. Later scenes for  "You're the Worst"  Season 3 showed how Gretchen turned to Jimmy's confidante, Edgar (Desmin Borges).

With Edgar's initial reaction about the news, the scenes of  "You're the Worst"  Season 3 centers on how Gretchen understood that he won't be able to handle it better. Finding it hard to find the best person to help her, Gretchen resorted on throwing a big party for Jimmy. The plan was to make it look like they are celebrating Jimmy's book.

Looking back on "You're the Worst"  Season 3 aired scene, Gretchen wanted the news to spread around the room until it gets to Jimmy. When the party is about to end, the news has not reached Jimmy yet. Gretchen decided to push Paul in telling Jimmy about the bad news. Meanwhile, Hidden Remote reports that the series centered on how to break the bad news to Jimmy and it appears that is was easier said than done.

However, the episode of  "You're the Worst"  Season 3 progressed with Paul insisting and told Edgar to do it instead. Later on, they found themselves witnessing Jimmy listening to a voicemail after he decided to call his father. This was Gretchen's cue that she needed to raise the topic to Jimmy.

Episode Four is expected to open from where "You're the Worst" Season 3 episode left off. How will Gretchen console Jimmy now that he found out about the news? Will Jimmy pay attention to this news, despite his evident aversion towards his father?

"You're the Worst" Season 3 airs on FXX at 10/9c every Wednesdays.
