* In Bojack's first interview, Biscuits Braxby lobs him a ton of softballs for the usual EasilyForgiven bullshit that celebrities tend to get in these situations. But after a talking to from Paige, she gets him to do another interview, instantly turning into an IntrepidReporter who refuses to let him off the hook for anything, leaving him no room to wiggle out of six seasons' worth of horrible mistakes and their long overdue reckoning.

** At first, it seems the strike will fall apart with little progress made, because Princess Carolyn and Lenny Turtletaub coax them back into work by promoting them. In comes ''[[TheBusCameBack Judah]]'' (framed in the most angelic light possible!) to stand up for his fellow assistants. His organization combined with Princess Carolyn's HeelRealization (having been an assistant herself and sympathizing) finally gets the strike to end with actual compromises made.

* The opening sequence of this season. Instead of the usual trek through [=BoJack's=] day with the blank expression on his face, it starts with the horse in his youth in front of a vanity mirror and takes us through every major event in the show. [=BoJack's=] facial expressions convey story perfectly and the intro could almost work as a recap for everything we've seen so far.

At first, she just goes along with their pitch, but feeling dishonest, she barges back in and explains why their version of the story is inaccurate to women's experiences, that [[DoubleStandard women aren't as easily celebrated for saving the day as male superheroes,]] and pitches her own, more complex version of the story, punctuating it with:
