Cool, I was noticing last night these weren't up yet. Thanks!

Hollyhock is such a great character, and this was a pretty amazing episode. Lots and lots going on! Bojack pretending the past doesn't exist in multiple dimensions touches almost everybody, and maybe that's why things go so well at Wesleyan: nobody knows him there yet.

Hey I remembered the second half of the season was out last night and watched this!

I think it’s pretty clear that Hollyhock knows about Penny and is struggling to reconcile it.

The sword of Damocles dangling over his head is pretty obvious. Those reporters are pulling together all the stories of the people he’s hurt and are going to release an expose. A MeToo moment is coming up. Which has the potential to be really weird and bad, I hope they handle this OK.

As to whether BJ will shit in the Wesleyan bed lie he has screwed up every other major relationship in his life, I think the show is legit portraying him as reformed. Personally reformed, but not yet having made amends or suffered consequences.
