Mia from californication12/16/2023 ![]() ![]() He slams him in the mouth, again and again. Hank passes, but when the manager calls him a lousy patriarch (thin provocation?), he snaps. “Let everyone in on it!” Mia can come clean, Hank gets authorship of his book back, and it’s not statutory rape, it’s a publicity stunt. The sleazy manager sees an Oprah-worthy opportunity: “The publishing world knows you as this brilliant train wreck,” he tells Hank. It seems she’s having trouble with her second book (big surprise) and has confessed to her manager-slash-boyfriend that Hank wrote the first. If only he’d taken his own advice, because all the happy stuff turns out to be a canard: Charlie wakes up to find red arrows posted on his divorce papers showing him where to sign, and Hank ends up going to see Mia. “Wait till we’re back in New York to tell your mother,” he says presciently. Becca and Hank have a sweet “good-bye-to-Calilfornia” walk, and she tells him that he hasn’t been such a bad father after all - and that she’s lost her virginity, happily. Charlie and Marcy have a happy morning in bed, too. Hank has a sunny breakfast with Karen and Becca, and we learn, as does she, that she was conceived in a famous Manhattan bathroom (either Barney Greengrass or CBGB’s). (One of the weaker, more far-fetched conceits of the series.) With her arrival, you can start to hear the bomb ticking in the background.īefore the explosion, however, the writers give us hope. Mia’s been blackmailing him ever since, with him letting her market his book about their affair as her own. Two years ago, Hank had slept with her, only to later find out that she was 16 and Karen’s ersatz stepdaughter, the Soon-Yi to her Mia Farrow. Hank is right on the edge of happiness now, days from moving back to New York with his family, and you sense he, or someone else, is really going to screw it up. Wine bottle in hand, he’s a sloshed, sad King Poseidon to the mermaids.ĭream sequences rarely work, and are rarely subtle, but there’s at least a real sense of menace to this one. “Why do you drink so much?” Jackie surfaces and simply says: “I miss fucking you” and he says he misses it, too. Past lovers and his family surround him in the darkness, asking: “What do you think you are going to find in New York?” “Happiness,” he says. It’s night, and Hank is bobbing on a pool in an inflatable chair as a naked woman slides under the water beneath him. By the end of it, and of the series’ third season, his life has turned into one. After, Dev makes up his mind and also buys a plane ticket: to Italy, so that he can study at a culinary school.Hank Moody is having a nightmare as the episode opens. ![]() ![]() Benjamin says that even after being married for 23 years, he still isn't 100% sure it'll last forever - stating that "100% doesn't actually exist". Dev meets up with Benjamin (who was also cut from the film), and both talk about their relationships. She moves out, and a few days later informs Dev that she's moving to Tokyo, as she has always dreamed of this and must do it before it's too late. Dev shares with Rachel his concerns about their future and yells that if they're not 100% sure they'll be happy with each other forever, they shouldn't even try. Dev's scenes were cut from the film, and Rachel drunkenly yells at the director. He, Rachel, his friends, and his parents then attend The Sickening's premiere. Dev meets his dad for advice, who asks if he really wants to be an actor, and Dev is unsure. Dev and Rachel attend a wedding and he thinks about their life together and realizes that if they get married, it might only be because it's the point in life in which society dictates they should settle down. ![]()
