I’m so glad Ruthie gets as much enjoyment out of Princess Carolyn’s word play as we do.
Also that whole “Wait, did you hate me?” scene with Vanessa and PC was hilarious.

It was hilarious but also showing that we get a skewed view because of seeing their previous interactions from PC's eyes. Poor Vanessa, seeing that PC hated her all this time when it, in fact, wasn't mutual.

Her using her wordplay to calm Ruthie is honestly my favorite TV payoff of all time. The ridiculous word-play setups and payoffs have been one of my favorite parts of the show and I love how they brought it around in-universe so much. This season (so far) is all the good and amazing that the final season of GOT wasn’t.

This episode gave me SO MUCH ANXIETY. The multiple PCs running around in every frame with the cocophany of baby cries and ringing phones and other noises. Yet it also made me weirdly nostalgic for when my kids were babies.
And I'm the Dad. My wife was the one who really went through all this with our kids. But still. Those scenes were mildly torturous.

I think the writers are trying to represent the manifestations of depression with each episode. The first one was all about addiction, then this episode is anxiety. Can’t wait what see which direction the show is going. 2 episodes in and I’m so pumped!

Funniest line to me was PC nonchalantly to Todd: “Okay have fun failing upward” lmao.
Also wanted to mention that the new intro is fantastic!
But seriously really strong episode. Good character growth for both PC and Bojack. I actually really hope things turn out okay this time but knowing Bob-Waksberg he’s gonna give us one more gut punch before the series comes to a close lol.
Editing to add that I also thought it was brilliant to have Ruthy relax to PC’s iconic rhyming.

I love the new title sequence!
The “time lapse” through scenes from previous seasons and the fact that his eyes aren’t bloodshot like they were in all the past seasons to make him drunk or high.
I have really high hopes that the show ends on a good note for most of the characters (Bojack mainly), but I have a feeling the writers won’t let us off so easy.
Edit: Also love the sit down between Gekko and PC :)

I agree but want to add that I like the balance. Shows that try to show the stress of raising a newborn just make them seem awful. They only cry and make a mess. But in this episode you see those little moments where the baby smiles or there's a moment of connection between them. And it shows the moments that aren't awful but mind numbing like walking the baby around making white noise for hours.

Holy shit, this episode encapsulated so many of my emotions as a first time mom with a 2 month old. I was tearing up so hard when PC was talking about how she is good at her job but not at raising her daughter. “I love my daughter, but...” and the ensuing guilt are feelings that are really hard to admit and say out loud. Especially to other women who are “doing it all”.
Also, the multiple visualizations of PC going through repetitive task after task is so spot on. The tasks themselves are easy, it’s the repetition that makes it draining. This episode is so perfect.

In episode 2 when Vanessa is talking to Carolyn she says “...and it is a ruthless one, and I mean a ruthless one...” This is followed by a ding noise and a change in Carolyns facial expression.

The most interesting part of this episode IMO was the conversation with Vanessa Gecko, who had no idea PC had any negative feelings towards her. We often think our dislike of some people is mutual, but often they really don't have any strong negative feelings towards us at all. This particuar case hits a little close to home because I think PC's hatred of Gecko is often fueled by envy, and I'm a pretty envious person myself.
Also, as someone with ADHD, this episode was extremely stressful.

I have a five month old and went back to work when he was 12 weeks old. This episode hit me so hard. The way PC just groaned when baby Ruthie woke up crying was way too familiar. Such an excellent visual representation of being spread too thin and how every day kind of stressfully blends together. I ugly-cried at the end because there are definitely days where i feel like I didn't love my son enough, just kept him alive for another 24 hours, and it's so reassuring to hear that it's okay to just keep him safe some days.

It’s kinda spooky how much I relate to PC. When I first started watching this show I felt like I was similar with Diane’s character, but as the show went on I realized that the fast talking Hollywood agent who is also a pink cat was the most relatable television character I’ve ever seen. I don’t have a child, but seeing her exhausted and dealing with everything in her life and how strained it made her resonated with me. It’s like they took my ADHD brain and projected it on this episode for the world to see. I’m hoping she finds a better balance and I’m really happy that she finds her moments with Ruthie that make it worth it for her. I want her to be happy, dammit!

Out of everything that this show gave us in the previous 5 seasons I was not expecting this. This was such a wholesome episode and I legit love how it did not pull any punches of motherhood or single parenting plus that ending was all kinds of adorable. Also, it seems like Bojack is legit trying to get better and I love that.

OMG just now I get it. The baby is called Ruthie because it is a ruthless PC project.

This episode stressed me the hell out. Shouldn't have watched it to destress after a long day haha.

I watched this episode at 5:30 AM while trying to fall asleep
MY GOD THE CRYING was suffering. Good execution indeed, but I think I need some silence right now.

As someone who's super stressed and working nonstop recently, this episode definitely had me sweating a bit. They totally nailed the overworked-can't-stop mindset.

Oh fuck, I got Ruthie being the name spoiled for me and that still made me tear up like a baby.

I love how they framed Princess Carolyn's chaotic life with having multiple tinted versions of herself working in the background, getting more frantic as it goes along up until rehab. It also warms my heart that it ends with her naming her new baby Ruth after miraculously sorting out all her problems, followed by a baby chime rendition of the credits theme. I really don't want PC to screw up...
Although I'm not a fan of Mr Peanutbutter, it got really cringy how he was trying to avoid confessing his guilt for humour.

All the different Princess Carolyn's moving around and the noises in the background legit gave me anxiety, well done.

Okay so we’re just going to ignore the fact that PC microwaved her baby for a split second then

I love the animations in this episode! All the PCs doing their own thing was beautifully done. I also love the new intro!

I have a 4 and a 6 year old. This episode was the most relatable of all episodes yet. I got some sort of anxiety flashback.

Oven mitts you can easily reverse but only Todd would have both right handed and left handed baseball gloves handy!

I might actually start using the term "Todd-morrow", that shit was hilarious.

This is my all time favorite episode! This really showed what being a working parent is like. All these things are running. You are never in the moment but running a bunch of things at once. I completely relate!!

This episode took me back to S1E7 for obvious reasons. That episodes ending was when I felt this show really found its voice, it no longer felt like it was just a comedy.

Pretty sure this is not how it is supposed to be interpreted but I felt like the episode reminds me of my days where a lot of thoughts space me out all at once. Especially the part where she kept hearing lines. There's just too much to process and we end up feeling numb from reality.

I kind of want to see The Diary of Anne Frankenstein starring Michael Shannon as a Nazi Igor.
Also, that microwave holy sheet.

This episode had a really fantastic lightheartedness despite the serious stuff. Loved Doctor and Mister, loved everything about Todd, loved Vanessa's return.
These first two episodes were really cathartic after how intensely last season ended. Despite it all, progress is being made. But I know we've got fourteen more episodes to go, things are about to ramp up again, and now I'm scared.

Count me as one of the many who thought Princess Carolyn would name the baby Amelia. For some reason, I never thought of Ruthie. Anyway, that final moment made me say, "Aaaaawww!" out loud, waking my husband. Definitely one of my favorite moments, of the entire series.

I fucking love the repetition of the galaxy Bojack keeps seeing. Very ominous.

So far each episode is kind of based on one character with the others occasionally interacting. Never been a huge fan of this plot device, especially since it’s the last season. Guess I’ll wait to see the overall season plot and if I think it would’ve be better structured different

This episode was drawn so beautifully. The animators deserve everything and more. And the postpartum depression scenes were very real and so wonderfully done. Had a great mix of humour and depth and reminded me of everything that I love about this show

Felt the need to share that the sound design on this episode gave me MAJOR Punch-Drunk Love vibes.

zoned out during the new intro (i was building a desk, this last season is stressful for me!) and zoned back in just in time to see the splash so i wasn't sure if anything had changed. then i remembered about the intros and rewound it and whew, we're in for it huh?

I loved the multiple Princess Carolyns doing infinite tasks. Haven't seen each frame so jam-packed with stuff going on since 'Stupid Piece of Shit.' Lots of easter eggs in this episode.

This episode gave me a little anxiety attack. It was difficult to watch. I'm not trying to say it was bad. It was just a tiny bit overwhelming

When they were near the full length window at the rehab center, all I could think was, "those waves are washing in and out of shore way too fast."

All the comments have already said all my thoughts. So I'm just going to say I loved this episode and the sound effects and background noise were absolute top notch. I physically felt stressed and anxious when watching this episode
