History TearJerker / BojackHorseman

->''I burst into tears when I first saw this.\\
If you told me 2 years ago that an animated comedy starring Creator/WillArnett would be the most moving, life affirming piece of media I've ever seen, I would have laughed right in your face.''

* [=BoJack=]'s obvious, burgeoning love for Diane results in [=BoJack=] stealing the D from the Hollywood sign. It forces [=BoJack=] to come to terms with his feelings for her, except that he can't manage to tell Diane how he feels. Even as Diane herself seems to be waiting for [=BoJack=] to push himself to speak up after hearing from Princess Carolyn that he is in love with her, [=BoJack=] can't get the words out. The first when he realises that Diane is recording their conversation and the second time he leaves a expressive heartfelt message on her voicemail telling her exactly how he feels.

* While Diane's response to her brothers' call about her father dying is [[FlatJoy barely mustered grief]] which in retrospect is [[KickTheSonOfABitch understandable]], [=BoJack=]'s and Pinky's reactions (the former more so than the latter) aren't. While Pinky utters a genuine condolence before being sidetracked by necessary business concerns, [=BoJack=] just stays there with a sad expression and silent grief. It's especially telling since he didn't have a good relationship with his own father and hearing about Diane's (apparently) happy relationship with her father made him open up: he's truly sorry that relationship has been taken away. Which of course, sets everything up for a bigger gut punch later, see below.

* We see Sarah Lynn's StartOfDarkness. She was filming a ''Horsin Around'' scene where Bojack praised her, and asked the audience to cheer her. Then he whispered AntiAdvice that no one would ever love her, not even family or lovers, but she should do everything for her fans even if it kills her. Sarah Lynn retains her OhCrap face as the cameras start rolling again for take two. No, the bell tolling after does not help. The worst part is Bojack was ''right''; Carol Himmerlfarb and her husband don't love Sarah Lynn, using her as a paycheck or a warm body in the latter's case. Andrew Garfield breaks up with her for the crime of turning thirty and insensitively says that he thought she wouldn't make a scene in public. As Sarah Lynn puts it, with her voice breaking, he thought she ''wouldn't'' make a scene? Herb was the only positive influence in Sarah Lynn's life, but he wasn't enough.

* [=BoJack=]'s obvious, burgeoning love for Diane results in [=BoJack=] stealing the D from the Hollywood sign. It forces [=BoJack=] to come to terms with his feelings for her, except that he can't manage to tell Diane how he feels. Even as Diane herself seems to be waiting for Bojack to push himself to speak up after hearing from Princess Carolyn that he is in love with her, [=BoJack=] can't get the words out. The first when he realises that Diane is recording their conversation and the second time he leaves a expressive heartfelt message on her voicemail telling her exactly how he feels.

* This appropiately titled episode features [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a sad moment at the end]] where Bojack goes to the Ghost Writers Panel [[http://youtu.be/45a1NTArG-g?t=33s to give Diane permission to publish the book she'd written]].

'''Young Bojack''': ''(sadder)'' I know.\\

* This episode sets up a pattern in Bojack's behaviour that comes back to bite him ''hard'' in Season 6. The first draft of "The Bojack Horseman Show" is so well-received that the executives are happy to let it air without any changes whatsoever. So great, Bojack is making a big comeback, right? ''Wrong.'' Bojack gets so caught up in the moment that he makes drastic changes to the script, resulting in the show becoming an embarrassing train-wreck. As we see later on, Bojack's inability to be happy with what he has already achieved results in him giving another interview about Sarah Lynn's death after the first one managed to portray him as sympathetic, with the second interview making him look like a monster in the eyes of the public. It just shows how Bojack had so many opportunities to give himself the life he always wanted, yet always finds a way to ruin it for himself and the people around him.

* Bojack follows Ana home, and sees that she's just a sad, lonely woman who gets Mac and Cheese on her sweats.
* Emily and Bojack are uncomfortable with each other after having sex, and Emily bows out of her work deal with Todd, saying that neither she or the horse have been good friends to him.

* What really sets it off though is the ending. Rutabaga brought up earlier that they (him and Gekko) are the good guys. At first, the viewer assumes [[BlackAndGrayMorality they are the bad guys and BoJack and his team are the good guys]], but once you analyze the episode it's clear that [[GreyAndGrayMorality BoJack and his team are the bad guys in this]]. Gekko and Rutabaga get the film, the latter's marriage is repaired and he makes it in time to see his children being born and everything ends happily. Then there's [=BoJack=] where he cowers out again and can't even tell his own friend he doesn't want to do the show, he still doesn't have the balls to tell Todd he slept with his old girlfriend, Princess sabotaged her old assistants promotion for her own selfish needs and is the reason why [=BoJack=]'s other movie deal was snatched away. It's sort of sad to think the lead characters we root for kind of caused their own disasters.

-->'''Sarah Lynn:''' Oh, man, I should've been there. When I was a kid, if you'd told me I'd win an ''Oscar'', I'd never have believed it. [[WasItReallyWorthIt And now I've done it and]]- Bojack. I don't... like anything ''about'' me. None of this is me. These boobs aren't me, this house isn't me.\\

* The brief flashback to 2007 at the start of the episode. Bojack pays Sarah-Lynn a visit after a concert and she's '''overjoyed''' to see him, viewing him as her last true friend and immediately makes plans to reconnect with him that night once all of her obligations are done.

** Even worse is that, [[MeaningfulBackgroundEvent in the background]], you can see life-affirming messages written by Sarah Lynn (and some of her fans) posted near the mirror, and she is absolutely ''crushed'' [[MoodWhiplash when she realizes that Bojack only visited her to arrange the guest spot]].

* The sheer apathy everyone has to Sarah Lynn's death: everyone knew it was bound to happen (hell, in her first appearance, ''she'' knew it was going to happen), [[BystanderEffect but no one helped]], and [[FalseFriend Bojack himself]] made it ''worse''.
** Bojack's reaction just made it worse; he ''knows'' that a part of this was his fault, and he feels as if life "[[IronicEcho doesn't get better, and doesn't get any easier]]." He was probably thinking about how he felt as if the message he was given about life from the season 2 finale was a lie.

* Music/MichelleBranch's haunting cover of Music/{{America}}'s "A Horse With No Name" scoring the ColdOpen. A perfect soundtrack to Bojack's isolation as he seems to be just drifting through life at this point.

* Bojack and Diane's friendship crumbling down throughout the season.

* The preview shows that just like in the premier of Season 2, Bojack's newfound happiness was a fleeting moment in his life. Hollyhock is worried he might be an alcoholic and he appears to have a sleep disorder.

** The saddest part of the trailer has to be Bojack [[TheAlcoholic trying to regulate his drinking]] while filming his new show, with lines drawn on a bottle of vodka for how much he's allowed to drink that particular day. Any recovering alcoholic will tell you that just because you regulate your drinking (or at least act like you can) doesn't mean you don't have a problem.

[[AC: Bojack The Feminist]]

** The meaning of Beatrice's dance in her special dress, if indeed it is the one from the night she met Butterscotch, tells the audience the connection without Bojack ever getting the chance to find out: that dress is the one she had been wearing when Bojack was conceived. Butterscotch appreciated that moment because it represents the idealized image of what life with his wife and baby might have been like if he'd invested himself into them instead of trying to force the intellectual world to love his work. Just like Bojack, Penny, and Harper...
* Bojack barely mentions it, but Butterscotch died a rather pointless death in the end: cracking his skull open after tripping during a duel with a critic who didn't like his novel (or so he said, everyone doubts the kook actually read it). It also turns out that in spite of everything his father sacrificed to write it, Bojack's never read it. "Why would I give him that?"

* Though it was PlayedForLaughs, the ending is still pretty depressing considering the fact that Bojack gave his entire raw, emotional eulogy at the wrong funeral.

* The contrast between Diane in 2009 and Diane in 2018 shows how much she became a shell of her former self. She went straight from a meek and gentle girl who was so excited to meet Bojack to a cold and jaded woman who now wants nothing to do with him.

* After the last episode's moment of [=BoJack=] strangling Gina, thus ruining ''yet another'' relationship for good, this episode reveals something that just makes it a thousand times worse: ''[[AddledAddict BoJack doesn't remember any of it]].'' Up until Princess Carolyn shows him, he's genuinely worried for Gina and confused about what exactly has happened. While we've seen [=BoJack=] make his (''very'') bad choices and then deal with the guilt and consequences, this is a sharp contrast. [=BoJack=] has to deal with the guilt and consequences of something he ''can't remember doing.'' His addiction was no one's fault but his own, but the fact that even Princess Carolyn--who has always been the one to tell him to get his crap together and push him on his feet--shows genuine concern for his mental state really says that [=BoJack=] has officially ''cracked.''

* Just to hammer home the fact that the show's coming to an end, the title sequence this season shows all of the most devastating moments in the series: Herb calling out Bojack, the starry sky from Sarah Lynn's death, the glowstick balloons from Bojack's trip to New Mexico, Bojack's old destroyed home, Bojack's mom in the awful retirement home, and the press release of Philbert.

** There is one particular shot of Bojack holding a letter from Hollyhock, while having shaky hands. This does not bode well for the two's relationship, since the mid-season finale had Hollyhock seemingly learn about Bojack's less than stellar attitude back then. It's made even worse when another shot has Diane, Todd and Princess Carolyn attending Bojack's theatre play, with an empty seat next to Diane. The implications may be clear...

* Dr. Champ ends up falling off the wagon and completely relapses back into alcoholism thanks to [=BoJack=] holding onto to Jameson's contraband vodka that he accidentally drinks. [=BoJack=] ends up checking him into a completely separate rehab facility, but Dr. Champ still ends up parting with Bojack on negative terms. He blames [=BoJack=] for potentially ruining his reputation and likely tanking his marriage as well, since Champ had promised his husband that he would not fall back into his vices after [[NoodleIncident what happened with their daughter]]. Bojack ends up accepting this without much argument due to his role in Champ's fall.

* One of the subplots is about two investigative journalists digging deeper into the circumstances surrounding Sarah Lynn's death. As they begin to unravel what really happened, and [[{{Cliffhanger}} as their trail at the end of the episode leads them to Tesuque, New Mexico]], you can't help but feel worried about Bojack... especially since these journalists are clearly planning on publishing their findings.

* After avoiding him the entire episode, Bojack finally manages to get a dialogue with Hollyhock in the end where she tells him about a friend she has a fight with, but whom she still loves. She tells Bojack they're in a fight too, but is unable to tell Bojack that she loves ''him'' anymore. This might also serve as a tragic parallel to the season 5 finale where Diane had a very similar dialogue, telling Bojack about a friend who treated her badly but who she still loved, and now Bojack had treated her badly, but she doesn't tell Bojack she loves ''him''. That not only Diane, but also Hollyhock, who ''has'' told Bojack before that she loves him, isn't able to say those words to him anymore, might be the most heartbreaking consequence of Bojack's actions to him personally.

* There's also the fact that he gives the reporters everything they need to destroy Bojack, while thinking he's helping his good friend. His well-meaning obliviousness ends up with tragic consequences for Bojack.

* Bojack came so, SO close to actually looking sympathetic despite his involvement in Sarah Lynn's death, but his AttentionWhore personality and desperate need for validation once again ruin things for him when he agrees to a second interview, not knowing that one of the reporters had talked to the interviewer just before, and gotten her in contact with Doctor Champ, who gave away all of Bojack's dirty secrets as petty revenge, leading to his entire history with not only Sarah Lynn, but pretty much every single woman he hurt in the entire series being exposed. He ends up being portrayed as a predatory monster and his life falls apart completely.

** A small one, but despite Bojack and Sharona getting some closure in "The Face of Depression", as soon as Bojack suspects Sharona told Biscuits Braxby about the incident when Sarah Lynn got drunk as a child (it was really Dr. Champ who told her), he immediately tries to throw her under the bus. It really shows that despite his growth, he still hasn't changed that much to not try and cover his own ass.

* The episode opens a few months after the previous one, showing that things went downhill ''fast'' after the second interview, to the point that Bojack is now an utter pariah in Hollywoo, and probably the rest of the world as well. It's so bad that even the people at his ''AA meeting'' want nothing to do with him, despite the entire point of the group is to be a place without judgment. The only people who are still willing to talk to him on friendly terms are Mr. Peanutbutter, Vance Waggoner and his bunch of douchey fratboys, which doesn't help at all, since Waggoner hasn't changed one bit and drags Bojack along for his horrible behavior. Bojack also lost his house and most of his money in the lawsuits Sarah Lynn’s parents and the Xerox Corporation put him through.

* When Todd throws a housewarming party for the apartment that he and Maude moved into, Bojack hears about it and he attempts to show up. Todd quickly refuses to let [=BoJack=] into the party because he doesn't want to risk anything bad happening, especially because he's expecting his mother to show up and hasn't talked to her in ten years.

** The episode ends with Bojack relapsing after reading Hollyhock's letter.

* After losing almost everything else in his life, Bojack is finally forced to give up ''Horsin Around'' too, as the show [[OvershadowedByControversy got completely tainted by his actions]], and the network wants to recut it and re-release it as 8-minute episodes centered only on the other characters so they can still profit off it, but can't without Bojack agreeing to be bought off for good. Desperate for money, and wanting some lasting legacy for Sarah Lynn, Bojack agrees. %%InUniverse
** Angela returns, and reveals that she was bluffing back when she got Bojack to agree to have Herb fired from the show. She's completely unapologetic and hasn't changed at all, still insisting IDidWhatIHadToDo, and mocks Bojack for thinking he's any better than her.
* [=BoJack=] breaks into his old house and proceeds to stumble around it in an intoxicated stupor. In the midst of a ''Horsin' Around'' DVD binge, he comes across his screen test for the show in the bonus features. He's shown coming into the part with Herb's moral support despite his nerves initially getting the better of him, and it culminates in [=BoJack=] turning off the TV as his younger, happier self is offered the role. The episode ends on a particularly haunting contrasted shot of [[ThousandYardStare BoJack staring silently at his reflection in the screen]], all too aware of [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1_07.png what he's become since then:]] alone, penniless, despised, and above all else, '''''[[DespairEventHorizon broken]].'''''
-->'''Young Bojack:''' Perfect! Yeah, y-you think we got it?

** Herb is the last to leave, and has some parting words for Bojack.

* [=BoJack=] insists that he can't be dying, because he remembers getting out of the pool and making a phone call to Diane. Finally, we find out it went to voice mail, and Bojack went back into the water after leaving a final message on her phone. The episode ends with the sound of a flatlining heart monitor...

** If you look closely at the jury during Bojack's trial, you'll see that literally every single one of them is someone who had their life ruined or were otherwise negatively affected by Bojack's actions throughout the series. Bojack's past reprehensible behavior has truly caught up to him in the worst way possible.
* [=BoJack's=] AttentionWhore ways resurfacing when Princess Carolyn mentions that The Horny Unicorn is likely to be a hit. He calms down eventually, but one thing is clear: even after all the trauma and all the change, he'll never get over that one FatalFlaw. The look on Princess Carolyn's face at that moment makes it even sadder; you can see that as much as she loves Bojack, she's afraid of letting him too far back into her life because of the chance that he could relapse.

** Diane has a vent about trusting that Bojack would be okay when she left for Chicago, and then he calls her drunk and suicidal, putting all the responsibility on her if he takes a swim or not.

-->'''Diane:''' The real reason you go to Vietnam is because you accidentally see your soon-to-be-ex-husband kiss someone else. At first you think, "Oh, it's a fling. Whatever, they're drunk, it's a party." But he puts his hand on the small of her back exactly the way he used to do to you. It means, "I've got you," and when he did it to you, it made you feel safe. And you realize he will never do that to you again. And it breaks your heart, again, after your heart was so broken you thought it could never get any more broken. You thought it was safe, but it still, somehow, finds a new way to break. Because, even though you're the one who asked for this, [[AndThenWhat now that you've got it, you are completely adrift]], with no compass, or map, or sense of where to go, or what to do. So you go to Vietnam. You think you might find community. A connection to something bigger, but, you don't. In fact, you feel even more alone than you were before you left. But, you survive. You learn you can survive being alone.

'''[=BoJack=]:''' ''(frowns)'' Like [[PoisonousFriend me]]?\\

-->'''[=BoJack=]'s Mind:''' You're ruining her. You know that, right? [[PoisonousFriend No matter what, your poison is already in her]]. [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption There's nothing you can do.]]\\

* The sheer apathy everyone has to Sarah Lynn's death: everyone knew it was bound to happen (hell, in her first appearance, ''she'' knew it was going to happen), [[BystanderEffect but no one helped]], and [[PoisonousFriend Bojack himself]] made it ''worse''.

* [=BoJack=] breaks into his old house and proceeds to stumble around it in an intoxicated stupor. In the midst of a ''Horsin' Around'' DVD binge, he comes across his screen test for the show in the bonus features. He's shown coming into the part with Herb's moral support, and it culminates in [=BoJack=] turning off the TV. The episode ends on a contrasting shot [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1_07.png of him in the now:]] alone, penniless, despised, and above all else, '''''broken.'''''
-->'''Herb:''' Buckle up, buddy -- ''your life is about to start!''

** Notably, this is the ''only'' time we've seen her [[CryCute cry on-screen.]]

* Princess Carolyn's ''[[TraumaCongaLine awful]]'' day. In short order, Courtney fired her as her manager, her necklace broke (and she found out that it was not, as she had thought, an old family heirloom, but a fake-gold costume piece purchased at a JC Penney), Judah lied to her about an offer from Charlie Witherspoon, causing her to lose faith in her trusted NumberTwo and fire him, and worst of all, she had a miscarriage (later revealed as her [[UpToEleven fifth]]), goes on a drinking binge and breaks up with Ralph. Oh, and the cute, distant-future FramingDevice? All in her imagination. While on the phone with [=BoJack=], she says that after a bad day she likes to imagine a distant descendant telling her story in the future. BreakTheHaughty in its purest form.

* While trying to write his memoir, [=BoJack=] starts off with a TastesLikeDiabetes take on his childhood, complete with flashback to the fictional event. When he scraps it for not sounding right, his father gives Young![=BoJack=] a DopeSlap for writing so poorly as an adult.

** The whole scene in the planetarium in general, between the peaceful background music and the narration by UsefulNotes/NeilDeGrasseTyson about how all our lives are just mere flashes compared to how long the universe has been around (which is especially sad once we find out what is about to come), is tear-inducing.

* The look on Princess Carolyn's face after [=BoJack=] states that Sarah-Lynn was not like those other girls (he dated) because he loved Sarah-Lynn. Princess Carolyn was one of those "other girls", and [=BoJack=] basically admitted that he never truly cared for Princess Carolyn even after all that she's done for him.

* The look on Princess Carolyn's face after [=BoJack=] states that Sarah-Lynn was not like those other girls (he dated) because he loved Sarah-Lynn. Princess Carolyn was one of those "other girls", and it's no wonder that she decides to wash her hands of him afterwards.

** He visits a college party and nearly has a panic attack, causing him to flash back to his own college party where he was bullied by everybody, except one girl, Katie, who was nice to him. He decides to try to drink against his better judgement, and ends up the life of the party because he makes fun of everyone else. However, he makes fun of Katie, getting everyone to laugh at him but causing her to run off crying, severing his chance with someone who liked him for who he was.
** As a child, he catches his father having sex with a secretary, so Butterscotch gives [=BoJack=] a Jack and Coke. The young horse ends up passed out and asleep, Butterscotch driving him home, telling him his mother would be disappointed in him and insisting [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain they don't tell her about anything that happened tonight.]]
** Finally it flashes back to him being a very young child, lying alone after his parents, now passed out from drinking, had some sort of party. He sneaks a drink of vodka, then curls up next to his sleeping mother.

* The episode starts with a montage of Pickles making videos, first with makeup tutorials, then all the way up to livestreaming. The second-to-last one is of Pickles in the modern day, about to hop out into their living room for a "surprise wedding," when Mr. Peanutbutter says that he has [[InternalReveal something to tell her]]. The last livestream is of Pickles crying, saying the wedding is off. The poor girl just looks ''devastated.''

* Since her last appearance, Kelsey Jannings has now been blacklisted from any major Hollywoo project, being relegated to directing corporate commercials. The only way for her to rebound her career is to compromise her beliefs and sellout and direct the next Superhero Blockbuster. (Luckily, she was able to convince them to her more complex version of the story, so it not a complete sellout).

* It seems that Sarah Lynn's mom, despite (or possibly because of) all the damage [[StageMom she]] caused her as a child, is still racked with guilt about her death, and desperately calls the news every other day to try and see if there's more information to her case.

* Diane's panic attack after going on withdrawal from the anti-depressants, crying that she's terrible and deserves everything bad.

** In addition, [[TheReveal everybody (including the audience) learns one detail about Sarah Lynn's death]] that he'd never before made clear: ''[[MoralEventHorizon she wasn't dead yet, and he waited]] '''[[MoralEventHorizon seventeen minutes]]''' [[MoralEventHorizon to call for help because he was too concerned with making a good alibi]]''. It's said that if he'd called the paramedics earlier, they could have saved her. Even after a night where he admitted to truly loving Sarah Lynn, he threw away the chance to save her life so he could cover his ass.

* The episode opens a few months after the previous one, showing that things went downhill ''fast'' after the second interview, to the point that Bojack is now an utter pariah in Hollywoo, and probably the rest of the world as well. It's so bad that even the people at his ''AA meeting'' want nothing to do with him, despite the entire point of the group is to be a place without judgment. The only persons who are still willing to talk to him on friendly terms are Mr. Peanutbutter, Vance Waggoner and his bunch of douchey fratboys, which doesn't help at all, since Waggoner hasn't changed one bit and drags Bojack along for his horrible behavior. Bojack also lost his house and most of his money in the lawsuits Sarah Lynn’s parents and the Xerox Corporation put him through.
** Speaking of the AA meeting, sharped eyed viewers may notice one person missing in the group: Sharona. Her lack of presence in the group speaks volumes of how much [=BoJack=] hurt Sharona with his false accusation, [[KickTheDog along with him outing her as an alcoholic on TV]]. It gets worse knowing that Sharona never makes another appearance again, and whether she still attends another AA meeting.

* This episode reveals that not only was [=CrackerJack=]'s death devastating, setting off cycles of abuse for generations, but it was unnecessary. He ''volunteered'' for the army for a desire to serve his country, and was completely unqualified for it; his only confirmed kills in combat were from a friendly fire accident, and he never helped free a single person. Though it should be noted all of this is taking place in [=BoJack's=] mind, who never met Crackerjack, so this information can be debatable.

* The meals everyone is having at the dinner inside [=BoJack=]'s mind is the last thing they ate before dying. Not a meal necessarily, just the last thing they ate. Corderoy's is the lemon he had in his mouth when he accidentally hanged himself, Herb's is the peanuts that killed him, [=CrackerJack=]'s is an army c-ration, Beatrice’s is a nursing home meal on a plastic plate, and Sarah Lynn is a fast food meal from her and [=BoJack=]'s final binge. And [=BoJack=]'s is of course chlorinated pool water and a plate full of drugs.

** The young son of the family who bought [=BoJack=]'s house becomes an overnight celebrity after appearing on a talk show talking about the experience of finding [=BoJack=] in the pool, and articles about his rising stardom appears alongside the ones about [=BoJack=]'s legal troubles. Anyone keeping track would know that the same thing likely happened to Sarah Lynn and countless other child stars is about to repeat themselves with him.

* Princess Carolyn is utterly worn down. Between Mr. Peanutbutter's increasingly erratic behavior and her lack of experience in actually raising a child, her life seems to be collapsing around her.

* Even though Kyle noted on the phone last season that he hadn't noticed any big changes with his family, Penny's complex trauma and Charlotte's guilt are still very clear in their final appearance. Paige and Max track Penny down for her side of the Sarah Lynn story. Penny opens up about Oberlin, shocking her mom, and Charlotte tries desperately to keep Penny from telling the reporters everything. Penny worries because [=BoJack=] is still out there, but Charlotte worries they'll lose control of the story once it's out there, people will focus on the mistakes they made, and notes Penny's apparent panic disorder. During this exchange, we also learn Penny keeps a photo of her prom in a box under her bed, because she couldn't bear to throw it out, though it gives her confusing feelings.

* Diane not being able to deal with Cordovia, and after her phone call with Mr Peanut Butter, it being revealed that she's at the airport sadly waiting for her luggage.

--->'''And then you realize that book you're writing in your head... will never actually be a book. [[LeftHanging So you just]]--'''

** On his try with Princess Carolyn, [=BoJack=] is desperately begging and pleading while atop his car. She can only sigh in exasperation, and Ralph shows up to lead her back to the room. As he does this, he looks over his shoulder to glower at [=BoJack=]. It is either a look of utter annoyance for rudely waking them up like this, or a look of utter pity for his pathetic attempt to rebuild bridges.

** After spending the whole episode (intensely) working out their problems, Princess Carolyn, feeling like she truly understands her friend, [[AintTooProudToBeg practically begs him]] to rehire her as his agent, telling him that him firing her will cost her the company. But he's made up his mind, have gives her a blunt no. The look on her face is devastating. And the episode just ends there.

* BoJack tells Sarah he loves her - the one time we ever hear him tell someone on screen - only for her to awake suddenly from a blackout, meaning she probably didn't hear him.

'''Mr. Peanutbutter:''' I'm glad you're safe. I was worried about you.\

** To make matters worse, Todd's mother doesn't even show up, meaning [=BoJack=] was denied the party for nothing. Also sad on Todd's end, since he threw todether that party ''just for her''.

* Gina is still clearly traumatized from being choked out by [=BoJack=] last season, having a small FreakOut when her costar dips her while filming a dance scene due to his hand being on her neck. What's worse is, due to her keeping the incident under wraps, her director discourages Kelsey from hiring her for the superhero movie because Gina is "[[ThePrimaDonna difficult]]". Worse still, this is last time we see Gina in the series, so we never know if she ever got better or not.

* After avoiding him the entire episode, Bojack finally manages to get a dialogue with Hollyhock in the end where she tells him about a friend she has a fight with, but whom she still loves. She tells Bojack they're in a fight too, but is unable to tell Bojack that she loves ''him'' anymore. This might also serve as a tragic parallell to the season 5 finale where Diane had a very similar dialogue, telling Bojack about a friend who treated her badly but who she still loved, and now Bojack had treated her badly, but she doesn't tell Bojack she loves ''him''. That not only Diane, but also Hollyhock, who ''has'' told Bojack before that she loves him, isn't able to say those words to him anymore, might be the most heartbreaking consequence of Bojack's actions to him personally.

* This episode reveals that not only was [=CrackerJack=]'s death devastating, setting of cycles of abuse for generations, but it was unnecessary. He ''volunteered'' for the army for a desire to serve his country, and was completely unqualified for it; his only confirmed kills in combat were from a friendly fire accident, and he never helped free a single person. Though it should be noted all of this is taking place in BoJack's mind, who never met Crackerjack, so this information can be debatable.

** Secretariats poem, which is about his suicide and includes the episode TitleDrop, which devolves into terrified stammering once he reaches mid-fall. The Black Door appears behind him and he falls backwards through it.

* Beatrice is ready to marry Corbin Creamerman, who she genuinely begins to develop feelings for. Corbin cares about her and [[NotSoDifferent connects with her]] DaddyIssues and love of learning... but because of her pregnancy she rushes back to Butterscotch. Of course, they talk up a nice life in California, with Butterscotch writing his novel and Beatrice caring for the infant, but [[ForegoneConclusion we know that won't be the case.]]

** Beatrice [[ICouldaBeenAContender threw away her chance at a wealthy life and a happy relationship]] to follow Butterscotch under the hopes that they could be a happy family. [[NotSoDifferent Much like [=BoJack=],]] she never got a good relationship out of it, and her husband died without ever giving her that chance. [[ShootTheShaggyDog Her life was worse knowing for sure that she gave up so much for a relationship that only amounted to heartache.]]
