141"Brand New Couch"Amy WinfreyRaphael Bob-WaksbergJuly 17, 2015 (2015-07-17)201

In 1973, BoJack watches Secretariat read his letter while his parents fight in another room. His mother Beatrice sits with him and reminds him that he has "ruined" her, and that he must make something of himself to make up for it. During the Horsin' Around era, she comes to one of his live shows, but is unimpressed. As Secretariat begins shooting, BoJack, with a new, overly positive attitude, struggles to jog up a hill outside his house and film a serious line. As he worries over being unable to perform in his dream role, Beatrice calls him to inform she read his book and apologizes for birthing him "broken," causing BoJack to drop his attitude and film the line perfectly.

Todd builds his own version of Disneyland after winning a legal battle with Disney, but becomes frustrated when Mr. Peanutbutter tries to take over.

They confronts Winkler, who explains that Herb's manuscript was awful and would ruin his reputation if it was published. Princess Carolyn tries to use the funeral to get new clients, but is forced to improvise an entire friendship with Herb when Mr. Peanutbutter asks her to tell stories about him. Todd adopts a new, confident persona called "Toad" (à la Stefan Urquelle) when BoJack orders him to go get soda, but quickly drops it when BoJack criticizes him.

Princess Carolyn signs Mr. Peanutbutter on as a client after his old agent dies of autoerotic asphyxiation. She tracks down the still alive J.D. Salinger and convinces him to pitch a celebrity quiz game show with Mr. Peanutbutter as the host. Despite her efforts, she continues to find herself unappreciated at her company. BoJack absentmindedly tells Wanda that he loves her and immediately takes it back out of terror; he is upset when she tells him she does not love him either. When BoJack's co-star Corduroy admits that he was formerly addicted to erotic asphyxiation, BoJack gets the idea to pretend to do it himself and have Wanda save his life if she truly loves him. When BoJack accidentally does choke himself in front of Wanda, she saves him and admits she does love him. Later on the Secretariat set, BoJack finds Corduroy dead after trying to asphyxiate himself.

During the tour, Diane brings up allegations of sexual misconduct towards beloved television icon Hank Hippopopalous, sparking immense backlash against her. She tries to get a magazine to run a story on him, but the corporation that owns the magazine relies on Hippopopalous' image and shuts the story down. With Mr. Peanutbutter upset with her for possibly jeopardizing his upcoming game show, Diane decides to join St. Clair in the country of Cordovia. The prince of Cordovia, who bears resemblance to Todd, visits America, and the two briefly switch places.

Princess Carolyn informs BoJack of a way to tell when Mr. Peanutbutter is reading the correct answer, but he is asked to throw the game by Wanda; BoJack purposely ties with Radcliffe instead of winning. The show gets derailed when BoJack insults Mr. Peanutbutter, who reveals that he knows BoJack kissed Diane.

Angered by Radcliffe not recognizing him earlier, BoJack intentionally answers wrong and has the money burned.
