Shrinking's Jason Segel, Jessica Williams Detail Jimmy And Gaby's Abrupt Episode 2 Turn: 'It's Just Kind Of A Mess'

Shrinking's Jimmy and Gaby have been enjoying the spoils of a mutually beneficial friendship-with-benefits, but in Episode 2, their special arrangement topples in the messiest of ways.

Throughout Season 2's first two episodes, Gaby knows she's got to hit-it-and-quit-it. Not only is she starting to catch feelings for Jimmy, but something as small as a scrunchie reminds her of a harsh truth: That she's sleeping with her late friend's widower. Even Liz is working overtime to keep these two apart for fear that it'll explode their friend group. ("I've tried everything except knocking his d–k out of your mouth!" she chastises.)

The couple-of-sorts amicably decides to call the whole thing off, but when Jimmy drops by to provide support following Gaby's family drama, things take a turn for the worse... and fast! When Gaby leans in for a kiss and Jimmy acquiesces, she loses it. (The fact that he's wearing her favorite "sex boxers" certainly doesn't help either.) He apologizes. She kicks him out anyway after multiple F-bombs.

"They're just not in the right place for what Gaby is hoping would happen in the back of her mind," Jessica Williams tells TVLine in the video above. "I think it's just kind of a mess and they're just maybe not right for each other. The argument is about him being a bad friend and taking advantage for some p–ani and still trying to have some deniability that I think is really offensive to Gaby and actually just hurts her feelings."

Jimmy and Gaby's physical relationship was always bound to come with some hefty complications, but considering the show is fairly early into its run, could there ever be an actual relationship between these two? Jason Segel isn't sure.

"I don't know if there's a hope for them in the future, but it sure is a shame in the present," he says. "In a way, you find out that they've both been kind of using each other. These things are never as simple as they seem and someone's always suffering."
