History Recap / BojackHorsemanS6E12XeroxOfAXerox

** While Braxby does her harsh interview with [=BoJack=] exposing his misdeeds only to further her own career, her outrage at discovering [=BoJack=]'s pattern of repeated misbehavior with women and discovering his MurderByInaction of Sarah Lynn is [[Main/EveryoneHasStandards completely genuine]].

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: [=Bojack=]'s disastrous second interview with Braxby is quite similar to Music/RKelly's infamous televised interview, detailing his history of sexual abuse, with Gayle King. There are also some similarities to Prince Andrew's equally infamous interview detailing his history with Jeffrey Epstein.

** No one, not even the audience, will ever know if [=BoJack=] hadn’t waited 17 minutes and called immediately the ambulance to save Sarah Lynn, it would have made the difference. Nor does it matter to Biscuits; as she points out, the act of calling 911 immediately would have shown basic decency.

* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: As Princess Carolyn puts it rather bitterly at the end of the episode, she ''warned'' [=BoJack=] not to do the second follow-up interview. If he had followed her advice and returned to his teaching job in Connecticut, then he wouldn't have shot himself in the foot so badly. This is a mess that she can't clean up or sweep under the rug.
* DiggingYourselfDeeper: [=BoJack=] trying to defend himself in the second interview only makes him look worse. Particularly when he lets slip how he had sex with Sarah Lynn, something Biscuits Braxby didn't even know about before the interview started. While [=BoJack=] makes it very clear that Sarah Lynn was 30 years old at the time, well over the age of consent, the fact that it was while they were drunk and/or high as well didn't help at all. And this was after he stated that he gave her alcohol when she was ''10'', which adds even more evidence on the horse's negative influence.

* DownerEnding: Against his better judgement and Princess Carolyn's advice, [=BoJack=] does another interview, and whatever goodwill he garnered with the first one is destroyed when Braxby, now armed with Doctor Champ's information, reveals the truth behind Sarah Lynn's death; [[NotQuiteDead she was still alive when she overdosed]] and [=BoJack=], more worried about coming up with an alibi and saving his own skin than he was about saving her life, waited '''''17 minutes''''' before he called 911, by which point it was too late. And [=BoJack=] ''doesn't remember this'', meaning that either he was too high to remember or buried the memory out of sheer guilt. Braxby rakes [=BoJack=] over the coals, using this revelation and the knowledge of his past failed relationships to paint him as a sexual predator. And to top it all off, PC finally realizes that [=BoJack=] may never escape his destructive behavior and washes her hands of him, telling [=BoJack=] in no uncertain terms that his life will be ruined when the interview airs and leaving him to face the music alone.

* FakeAlibi: Bojack used Sarah Lynn's phone to call himself, then slinked into the parking lot for 17 minutes for the illusion he drove to the planetarium, then called 911 when he "got there". Biscuits points out that this is more than likely what sealed Sarah Lynn's fate.
* ForegoneConclusion: Princess Caroline already knows how the second interview will impact [=BoJack=]'s life and career, and comes to the conclusion that they can't fix this. She decides to leave him with some time to think about what he will do before it goes on the air, but she can't be able to bail him out since he didn't listen to her.

* TheReveal: One that recontextualizes the fallout of Season 3: [=BoJack=] waited ''17 minutes'' before getting help for Sarah Lynn, who was still alive and expired in hospital. Tragically, he himself genuinely doesn't remember doing this, meaning he either buried the memory or did this subconsciously while high.

* NeverMyFault: After the second interview, [=BoJack=] rants and raves to Princess Carolyne in the parking lot that Paige and Braxby were clearly framing the facts in a skewed and negative light, making him out to be a bad person when he wasn't, were clearly out to get him and the audience would see that. During his raving, Princess Carolyn looks increasingly troubled and crestfallen, as she seems to realize that [=BoJack=] will never escape his own nature, and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere gently washes her hands of him]].

* ItsAllAboutMe: [=BoJack=] celebrates how his first interview had went in terms of how it would present him in a positive light to the public eye, as opposed to feeling genuine relief over no longer needing to lie to the public over what had happened between him and Sarah Lynn. He then goes further into his own selfishness when he agrees to a second interview, to continue lavishing over the position reception he is receiving, rather than listen to Princess Carolyn and leave it be.

** It's unclear how sober [=BoJack=] was when he waited ''17 minutes'' to call an ambulance for Sarah Lynn, as he himself doesn't remember the detail. What's so damning about this is that unlike in other similar circumstances he found himself in in the past, there's no way to spin it as remotely forgivable.
** No one, not even the audience, will ever know if Bojack hadn’t waited 17 minutes and called immediately the ambulance to save Sarah Lynn, it would have made the difference. Nor does it matter to Biscuits; as she points out, the act of calling 911 immediately would have shown basic decency.

* OffscreenBreakup: Mr. Peanutbutter literally walked off-screen when he gets a text from Pickles calling off their engagement.

* WhamLine: Two from Braxby, which give further details on how Sara Lynn died.

* WhamLine:
-->'''Braxby:''' There was a two-minute phone call made from her phone to your phone, 17 minutes before you called 911.
** Also:
--->'''Braxby:''' But she wasn't actually ''dead'' yet. She died in the hospital.

* OffscreenBreakup: Mr. Peanutbutter literally walks off-screen when Pickles sends him a text calling off their engagement.

* OpenMouthInsertFoot: In the middle of all the other terrible things the horse says during the second interview, [=BoJcak=] also shouts that he never meant to hurt Sarah Lynn; he loved her! This comes a few minutes after Biscuits notes that he and Princess Carolyn hooked up a few times. Princess Carolyn's expression shows hurt and confusion, as she gets more confirmation that she was only one of [=BoJack=]'s many mindless dalliances.

** While Braxby does her harsh interview with [=BoJack=] exposing his misdeeds only to further her own career, her outrage at discovering [=BoJack=]'s pattern of repeated misbehavior with women and discovering his MurderByInaction of Sarah Lynn is completely genuine.

*** Also in the second interview, Braxby effectively portrays [=BoJack=] as a serial misogynist and abuser who seeks out women to mistreat and take advantage of. Those who've followed [=BoJack=] over the series know this isn't true since men (such as Herb, Dr. Champ, and Todd) have also gotten hurt by his actions. However, Braxby is correct in pointing out that due to the gendered power dynamics in play, women tend to be the ones harmed the most by his behavior.

* SpannerInTheWorks: Paige Sinclair brought Biscuits Braxby's attention to all the bad deeds [=BoJack=] did, especially to the women in his life, and also showed Biscuits proof that he waited 17 minutes before calling the paramedics when Sarah Lynn overdosed. This allowing her second interview with [=BoJack=] to be much more scathing.

* EasilyForgiven: In the first interview, Biscuits Braxby was a little soft on [=BoJack=], and as a result, people treat him better. Brutally averted in the second interview as Biscuits reveals more of [=BoJack=]'s immoral actions and condemns him for it.
