While this is technically from an episode 15, it was the penultimate episode of the extended final season, and so brings with it the big episode 11 energy. This isn’t the only moment from that episode included here either, even if it is the closing scene.

The episode takes place in BoJack’s mind, playing out a purgatory style dinner party with key figures from his life. Sarah Lynn, Herb, his mother, Courdroy Jackson, Crackerjack and his father as Secretariat all appear before ultimately sinking into hell.

BoJack, we discover at the end, has taken way too many pills and has fallen into his pool, slowly drowning. In his purgatory, BoJack is being swallowed by darkness, recalling the ‘you’re the tar pit’ line Charlotte said to him about or ultimate inability to escape ourself and our own demons.

Eventually, the darkness catches up with BoJack and begins to swallow him as he grabs for the phone to call Diane.

As it appears like BoJack is drawing his last breath, he asks his imagined version of Diane if she can stay on the phone with him while he fades away.
