    It’s been about a year and a half since Bojack got out of prison. He’s been clean, been out of trouble, he now gets asked if he’s the unicorn from The Horny Unicorn.

    Gina reveals the choking incident. Big press conference, media explosion, the band-aid over the fallout from season 6 ripped open. Restraining order. Criminal charges. Bail. PB and PC both know that he wanted to come clean immediately back in season 5. Both of them know it was Gina’s choice to keep it under wraps. We can also assume that Todd is aware of that, since we can assume it was discussed during Sunk Cost and All That. Instead of watching Bojack spiral, we watch him doing the right thing every step of the way. This time he is truly committed. Which makes it all the more painful when things continue to get worse.

    I haven’t thought of how the season would resolve, but it probably involves the footage of the incident that Flip McVicker took. Perhaps in the episode of Philbert that used it, it was too heavily edited to present as evidence, so the plan is to get it from him somehow. A direct confrontation between Bojack and Gina never happens. He’s trying to do things right, so he respects the restraining order. Instead it happens between Gina and PC. As an agent, one who similarly no longer works with Bojack, she might get access to Gina.

    Diane is, appropriately, completely absent from the season. The show is Bojack Horseman, and she is no longer in his life.
