BoJack Horseman: “After the Party”

Who knew Some Like It Hot actor Tony Curtis could start so much drama from beyond the grave. At Diane’s very much unwanted surprise 35th birthday party, she and Mr. Peanutbutter can’t stop arguing about whether Curtis has died. The tiff sends the partygoers home early, splintering the episode into three simultaneous lovers’ quarrels.
While driving Todd home from the party, Princess Carolyn nearly runs over a familiar face. But the pair of sharp detectives still can’t wrap their heads around the truth of Vincent Adultman, even as they’re directly confronted by an identical little boy sans trench coat. Todd runs off to facilitate a disturbing romance between two iPhones, and Princess Carolyn is caught in a farce. Kevin and the other two-thirds of Vincent somehow deceive her even in her own home. She never sees her boyfriend and Kevin, his so-called son, at the same time.
After many exhausting rounds of this game, Princess Carolyn finally breaks up with Vincent. She is none the wiser about her boyfriend’s age or lumpy body shape, but she does come to an important realization about why she stayed in a one-sided relationship for so long. “I think wanting to believe something doesn’t mean that something is real,” she tells Vincent, mostly for her own benefit. Through her toxic off-again, on-again flings with BoJack, she had managed to hold onto one last speck of romantic optimism until now.
BoJack and Wanda’s relationship fares way better that night, but not before it takes a turn for the worse. It’s been two weeks since Wanda moved in, and BoJack worries taking that step so soon was impulsive (duh). Wanda encourages him not to be too quick to judge, but he can’t help himself. He doesn’t find her jokes funny and he still has Charlotte on the brain after their brief chat at Herb’s funeral.
