** Despite being genuinely thankful to her and affirming that he loves her as much as he's capable of loving anyone, the episode still ends with Bojack refusing to give Princess Carolyn her job back. Friend or no, Princess screwed up badly and lost Bojack three major acting opportunities that he'll never get back. Breaches in trust like this and the need to maintain a professional relationship is part of the reason why trying to do business with friends is generally not recommended.
