However, she finally relents to a date with BoJack after much pestering, to pursue happiness by going on a date with him.

The two enjoy their date, but simultaneously get a phone call. Princess Carolyn is called by Vanessa Gekko, telling her that Cate Blanchett, who was previously Princess Carolyn's client, has switched to become Vanessa's client. Dismayed, Princess Carolyn decides to commit to pursuing happiness with [=BoJack=] to take her mind off of her career. [=BoJack=], meanwhile, is called by Herb Kazzaz, who is responding to [=BoJack's=] voicemail from the episode "Live Fast, Diane Nguyen."

Princess Carolyn then dismisses her assistant Laura from work. When asked by Laura if she was heading out soon, Princess Carolyn simply asks back "Where else would I go?" She stares out at the city alone, and her phone alarm reminds her it is her 40th birthday.
