** [[spoiler:He does confront most of his issues in therapy in rehab. He never gets a starring role with Mr. Peanutbutter but does cameo as a corpse on his TV show. While his physical health isn't really an issue, he does suffer massive consequences when every bad thing he's done is outed on television, losing his career opportunities, his money, and his house, and he only manages to find peace when he almost drowns and then gets arrested for a year.]]



** [[spoiler:His issues do come back to bite him as Pickles breaks up with him and he's finally all alone, but in the end he manages to pull himself together and goes to therapy rather than going to [=BoJack=] for help (since [=BoJack=] spends the bulk of the season dealing with his own serious issues.)]]



** [[spoiler:Diane's issues resurfacing and her journey to write a book are confirmed, but she never even comes close to suicide despite her serious depression. However, [=BoJack=] giving her a speech in the middle of the season is what convinces her to take antidepressants and sets her on a more productive, albeit still strenuous, path.]]

[[WMG: Bojack has a BittersweetEnding]]
The show doesn't indulge in sentimentality and a happy ending where your problems can be solved in 30 minutes. Many people's issues can linger throughout one's life.

Bojack isn't going to be dramatically cured, nor will he suddenly be clean.

But...that might not necessarily be a bad thing. While Bojack might not be able to avoid regressing, he might still be able to be there for his friends.

As his relationship with Hollyhock demonstrates, he is not completely hopeless. But that doesn't mean he gets a fairy tale ending.

[[WMG: How the series will end with each character]]
* Bojack will finally overcome his personal issues in therapy. He's also been chosen to co-star in a new show alongside Mr. Peanutbutter. Unfortunately, by the mid-season finale, he will be diagnosed with cancer as a result of his history of drug and alcohol abuse. The second half of the season will show Bojack's physical health slowly deteriorating. What's worse, word gets out about Bojack's past actions and his career is put in jeopardy. Finally, Bojack is kicked off the show and his role in show business is put to an end, bringing him to a HeelRealization of what he did to Herb all those years ago and causing him to find inner peace within himself.

* Mr. Peanutbutter will start to form cracks in his armor. The Season 6 trailer has made it apparent that he could wind up becoming just as depressed as Bojack, possibly more. Throughout the season his actions will start biting him in the butt; issues relating to Diane, Pickles and his overall career. Now about the show. In an inverse of what Bojack did to Herb, the executives will cohere Mr. Peanutbutter into firing Bojack. By the finale, Mr. Peanutbutter has become a wreck and looks to Bojack for forgiveness. Unlike Herb, Bojack will actually forgive his betrayer, signifying that he has gotten over his past actions and his past self, and giving Mr. Peanutbutter a HopeSpot as well.

* Diane will be DrivenToSuicide after so many of her attempts to change the world as well as issues with her personal life have blown up in her face. However, she will soon decide not to off herself thanks to an encouraging speech from Bojack of all people. Bojack, now free from his career, will use what little time he has left to help Diane cope with her issues. This will give Diane the inspiration to write a book.

* Princess Carolyn will be caught in conflicts between her job and child care. She also becomes concerned seeing the negative impacts show business can have on the youth (Sarah Lynn is brought up). She struggles throughout the season before finally finding a compromise.

* Todd will gain a successful career, earning the happiest ending of the gang.

to:

[[WMG: In the final season of the series, [=BoJack's=] final conflict will be with his own physical health -- if not death itself.]]
By this last season, [=BoJack=] will have done his best to conquer his inner demons, and (more or less) resolve most of his social and emotional problems. However, [=BoJack's=] psyche won't be the only thing haunting him, but also all the unhealthy vices that have damaged his body over the years; from overeating junk food, to abusing alcohol/tobacco/drugs, to his sexual promiscuity (think what nasty [=STDs=] he could've caught). [=BoJack=] may discover that he's suffering from cardiovascular disease, liver failure, perhaps even [=AIDS=] or cancer. Regardless of whether or not [=BoJack=] can overcome any of these diseases, he'll have to come to terms with his impending mortality.
* [[FridgeBrilliance It'll be the only thing he can't regain control of: his literal life]].
* He does mention that he has a strand of herpes, albeit as a joke ("I wish I was asexual, that way I wouldn't have ''a'' strand of herpes!"), but this show is known to take passive gags like that and then later [[CerebusRetcon expand on them to make you miserable]], so there's a possibility that it will come back.
* And the last scene will be him surrounded by or getting supportive calls from all of the friends he either gained or re-gained over the course of the series through his efforts to better himself. Unlike the incredibly bleak death he wrote for himself on ''Horsin' Around'', [=BoJack=] doesn't die of a broken heart because he's all alone and nobody loves him, rather he dies peacefully knowing that yes, people do like him. It's the ultimate BittersweetEnding: "He who dies with the most toys (or, in this case, friends) and still dies, but at least you die knowing you have them."

[[WMG: Correlating to this, Bojack will donate his body to the glue factory.]]
[[StealthPun He can finally repair what's been broken]]. For bonus points, the first thing his glue will be used to fix is a [[CallBack telescope]].
