History Recap / BojackHorsemanS5E02TheDogDaysAreOver

* FurryReminder: One shot shows a female mantis courting a human man before starting to pour salt on him, referencing how female mantises will eat their male partner after mating, or sometimes even ''during''. [[DeathBySex The more you know...]]

* ADayInTheLimelight: The episode focus on Diane and is almost entirely shown from her point of view with narration made by her.

* ShipTease: A drunk Diane suggests to a drunk Bojack that since they're both single now, they're free to make out, before claiming she's joking although her body language says otherwise. Bojack notably doesn't take any advantage of her, but keeps his distance and asks if she wants to spend the night "in the guest room, I mean", and later covers Diane with a blanket when she passes out.
** Then subverted when Bojack goes to get her to the party, she makes a pass at him and he, not interested, quits altogether, deciding to not accompany her anymore and clearly upset about the pass.

* UnresolvedSexualTension: The one between Bojack and Diane gets another [[HangingALampshade Lampshade Hanging]]. Diane ambiguously drunkenly propositions Bojack, stating how weird that the two are both finally single at the same time. Bojack reads between the lines but deflects on it.

* YouAreNotAlone: Subverted. Diane realizes at the end of her trip that she is alone, however, rather than being thrown in deeper sadness by the realization, she comes to the conclusion that she just might be okay being on her own.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: The animals seen in Vietnam include a softshell turtle, a red bamboo rat snake, and a pangolin.

* DoubleStandard: Since Alison Brie, a white American, voices Diane, who is Asian-American, this episode had Asian-American actors voice American characters.
* {{Eagleland}}: For the Boorish interpretation, the tourist family Diane encounter in Vietnam who assume her to be a local and stubbornly misunderstand her assertions that she's an English-speaking American. Later, the American guy Diane romances is a handsome and majestic bald eagle to highlight his sheer American-ness. When her deception is revealed, she [[NeverMyFault defensively attempts to paint him as a similar boor for making assumptions]].

* DoubleMeaningTitle: The title could either be a reference to the Music/FlorenceAndTheMachine song (in turn used for ''Film/EatPrayLove'', another film where a woman travels abroad to find herself), or it could be referring to the fact that Diane's "dog days" (i.e. her relationship with Mr. Peanutbutter, who's a dog) are over.

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Diane's awkwardness in her ancestral homeland feels very much like a nod to how she's voiced by a white actress, which the show's crew have come to deeply regret as the issue of diversity in Hollywood has blown up since the show started.
