7 Worst Things BoJack Horseman Has Ever Done
4. Throwing The Doll Off The Railing
In and of itself, this barely scratches the surface of BoJack's misdeeds. Throwing a plastic doll off his balcony hardly compares to the emotional trauma he’s wrought on his friends, after all. But this act is symbolic of so much more.
After Bea’s dementia leads to a breakdown in her nursing home (caused by BoJack’s instance at performing Horsin’ Around live), she’s evicted into BoJack’s care. Living with BoJack and Hollyhock, Bea regains a little bit of her old self. Her mind is severely dulled though, so her incisive meanness is thankfully lacking.
The only thing that keeps her content is caring for a tiny horse doll. BoJack, jealous that she was never even half as caring with him, taunts her as he throws the doll over the railing outside his house.
Bea was an awful mother, but her Alzheimer's had left her severely deteriorated. In her mind, she saw a man (well, horse) throw a live baby off the balcony then laugh about it.
He’s remorseful, but that counts for very little when Bea, her carer, and the adorable Hollyhock all begged him not to.
