9. Ancient History

Complete story — includes the ending

Season one of Philbert wraps production, leaving Mr. Peanutbutter to ponder his next career move. Princess Carolyn is forced to meet with Ralph Stilton, her recent ex-boyfriend, when Mr. Peanutbutter pitches a show based on a copyrighted greeting card made by his company. She then learns there is a mother putting her almost born baby up for adoption. Ralph drives her to the hospital, but she is forced to tell him that she does not consider him a part of her life anymore, which inspires the mother to keep the baby. Emily, Todd's best friend from high school who he is now reconnecting with, creates a dating app for asexuals; while conversing with her, Todd notices she is distracted by her continuous stream of unfulfilling boyfriends, so he creates her a poorly designed sex robot named Henry Fondle, which she is put off by. Hollyhock, BoJack's estranged half-sister, comes to visit and disposes of BoJack's painkillers in a panic when she finds them, thinking he is attempting to drug her; this forces them to try and get more as BoJack claims he needs them, which leads to BoJack unintentionally committing to a relationship with Gina while trying to steal some from her house. BoJack and Hollyhock get caught in a sting operation during a drug buy and flee, during which Hollyhock jumps over a fence by boosting herself up on BoJack's back, making her realize he does not need his pills for pain. When she confronts him about this, an incensed BoJack tells her she can't understand the emotional pain he's been facing his whole life, and says the "one bad experience" she had with Beatrice is tame compared to what he endured. Before she departs, BoJack apologizes to Hollyhock and promises not to take painkillers unless he's injured again. After she leaves, BoJack gives into his withdrawal and impulsively drives into oncoming traffic.
