Complete story — includes the ending

Courtney's new action movie is jeopardized by a series of mass shootings. Diane is initially anti-gun, but after Courtney uses her handgun to fend off a creepy guy in front of her, she quickly becomes pro-gun against Mr. Peanutbutter's wishes and popularizes the idea of women owning them, causing them to again have sex after a publicized debate. When a woman perpetrates a shooting, the California Legislature votes on banning all guns rather than helping women feel more safe. BoJack and Hollyhock visit a dementia -stricken Beatrice in her nursing home after he reveals he lied about her mother; Beatrice calls BoJack "Henrietta" and identifies old pictures of him as Crackerjack. Upset when he notices her laughing at Horsin' Around despite her previous dislike of it, BoJack decides to put on a live performance to see if she recognizes him, which only makes her react violently and get thrown out of the nursing home. She moves in with him and Hollyhock assures him that he will someday be able to tell Beatrice how much he hates her. He almost puts his hand on her back, but decides against it.
