* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Gina went along with the cover-up of [=BoJack=] strangling her last season because she thought that if word got out the ensuing controversy would overshadow her acting abilities. However, she gained PTSD from the incident, which causes her to lash out at people. As a result, people start seeing her as a [[ThePrimaDonna prima donna]], because nobody knows what happened to her and she's reluctant to tell anybody about why she's acting the way she is. This reputation ends up overshadowing Gina's acting abilities even worse than what would have happened if [=BoJack=] strangling her did become public, because if it did everybody would have been more sympathetic towards Gina instead of dismissing her as "difficult".

* UnreliableNarrator: When Pete tells Hollyhock the story of the events from [[Recap/BojackHorsemanS2E11EscapeFromLA Escape from L.A.]], Pete makes out Bojack as a total creep who lived Penny's house and "practically forced" Maddie and Pete to drink bourbon. While Bojack does hold a lot of responsibility for Maddie's alcohol poisoning (and was wrong to get the teens the bourbon in the first place and was wrong to just ditch Maddie and Pete at the Emergency Room), Pete doesn't mention his and Maddie's own bad choices during that night. Namely, they already mixed up a vodka-Red Bull cocktail and snuck it into some flasks so they could sneak in some alcohol consumption during prom long before Bojack got them the bourbon (cut with water because he believed that was a safer alternative), and they were actively supportive of that decision until Maddie got alcohol poisoning.

* AdultFear: While she's definitely not a sympathetic character, it's poignant that Carol Himmelfarb-Richardson has been calling the newspaper every day, begging anyone if they have answers for why her daughter died, and how no one found her in time. The editor-in-chief is sympathetic but exasperated because no one has a lead, and he says it's an open and shut case of a celebrity overdose. Paige agrees to interview her.
