History Recap / BojackHorsemanS4E10LovinThatCaliLifestyle

* HalloweenEpisode: Invoked. Apparently, Todd's dentist clowns are so accidentally creepy they would be a viable option to choose only as "a spooky experience" in October. Unfortunately, the episode is set in January. Double as a CallBack with the "Halloween in January" store that Todd and Mr. Peanutbutter founded in season 1.

* CallBack: In "Yes, And...", [=BoJack=] bails on his ''Secretariat'' filming after dealing with some frustration against the director and Wanda. Lenny still remembers this and plans to make a binding contract that forbids, the horse from doing this again during the making of the new ''Philbert'' show, if not limit it.

* RageBreakingPoint: [=BoJack=] already dislikes Beatrice for her mistreatment towards him over the years. When he discovers that she caused Beatrice's overdose, he finally reaches his limit to sheer hatred, leading him to take her to the worst retirement home he can find, just to get rid of her.

* PapaWolf: Hollyhock's fathers are understandably [[{{Understatement}} very upset]] about their daughter becoming hooked on amphetamines and passing out, and they believe [=BoJack=] to be the cause of this, forbidding him from visiting her in the hospital, and eventually taking her back home. However, it turns out that it wasn't [=BoJack=]'s doing, but Beatrice's. At which point, Bojack goes papa wolf on Beatrice, taking her to the worst home he can find and sticking her in the worst room so she'll "never be able to hurt anyone ever again".

* RedHerring: Everyone (including Bojack himself and the audience) thought that [[InnocentlyInsensitive his not so gentle comments about Holly’s weight]], lead her to assume amphetamines and then pass out from overdose. In reality it was Beatrice who secretly tampered Holly’s coffee with “pretty pills” (a.k.a. weight loss pills) to make her thinner.

* TamperingWithFoodAndDrink: It turns out that Beatrice spiked Hollyhock’s coffee with weight loss pills to get her to conform with her outdated beauty standards. This leads to Hollyhock to pass out for overdose. That proves to be the last straw for Bojack’s patience.
* ThatCameOutWrong: Holly texts “lovin that cali lifestyle” to one of her dads (Otto Zilberschlag) shortly before passing out of amphetamine overdose. Her dads naturally assume this happened because of [=BoJack=]'s lack of parenting skills. In fact, it was Beatrice's coffee mixed with weight loss pills.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Back in episode 8, Holly is seen with her coffee cup, randomly switching TV channels, having put all the loose change in the house in alphabetical order by year, and having no appetite for ice cream or pizza. It could have been attributed to her being recently left by her Miles and being generally dorky, or that BoJack unintentionally calling her a “blob" earlier when warning her about Miles May have led her to develop an eating disorder, but now it's revealed she has been secretly drugged with amphetamines through her coffee for months.

* ContinuityNod: That line from one of Hollyhock's fathers about her being rail-thin? That's not a throw-away line - she'd been getting progressively skinnier since Beatrice started making her coffee.

* AdultFear: A teenage girl getting drugged on amphetamines, even though she did not know she was taking them, is a textbook example of FridgeHorror.

* RealityEnsues: Traditionally, hospitals prevent or limit random people from visiting patients, unless they are family or emergency contacts. [=BoJack=] had trouble finding proof that he and Hollyhock are related, which prevents him from seeing her. Plus, he never considered being a contact in case this happened. Her fathers, on the other hand, are able to.

* AssholeVictim: Referenced when Tom initially misunderstands where Governor Woodchuck's hands came from. He is told that they came from a pedophile-murderer and responds with "Well, if you gotta murder someone".

* PunctuationChangesTheMeaning: When Katrina reveals that Woodchuck-Coodchuck Berkowitz got a hand transplant from a pedophile/murderer (as in, [[MurderersAreRapists a pedophile and a murderer]]), Tom Jumbo-Grumbo assumes he was a pedophile-murderer (as in, [[PaedoHunt someone who kills pedophiles]]). Katrina explains, "Not a pedophile ''dash'' murderer, Tom, a pedophile ''slash'' murderer!"

* CallBack: In "Yes, And...", [=BoJack=] bails on his ''Secretariat'' filming after dealing with some frustration against the director and Wanda. Lenny still remembers this and plans to make a binding contract that forbids, or at least restricts, the horse from doing this again during the making of the new ''Philbert'' show.

* OhCrap: While listing potential stars for ''Philbert'', PC unwittingly includes [=BoJack=]. Lenny didn't exactly want to work with him again, but states that he has enough "heat" due to his past antics and career. While Lenny wants the horse in, PC has deal with [=BoJack=] herself after being fired last season.

* ContrivedCoincidence: A waiter comes to Princess Carolyn pitching a TV Show. As Princess Carolyn is in the middle of pointing out that the odds of getting someone to take interest in a random script someone presents to them are a million to one, she notices the name of the script is Philbert, the same as her unborn child and she becomes passionate about the project on that fact alone.

-->'''Katrina''': That's pedophile [[PunctuatedForEmphasis ''SLASH'']] murderer, not pedophile DASH murderer!
