Lights. Camera. Asshole. - Recap

Charlie's on a roll. He gets off the phone and does the couch bounce. It's the good news dance. Sasha is back on board, since Eddie Nero is on board. And Sasha wants Hank on board to polish her dialog. Hank acts disinterested until he hears $100,000 is earmarked for him, for one week's work. Oh yeah. Hank joins Charlie in the good news dance.

Sasha requests Hank's presence on the set while he's in the middle of a smoke break. Hank comes to the set, and Sasha's having a fit of the prima donnas. He talks to her through the bullhorn, but she continues to sulk and the director finally gives her 15 minutes to deal with whatever issue she's having. Hank says he doesn't want 15 minutes. He wants to go home.

Sasha hauls Hank off to her trailer so they can play for 15 minutes. He says he's still a little sore from the morning's session. He takes a call, and she gets angry again. Hank needs to go take care of Becca, but Sasha won't let him go until their 15 minutes is up. He handcuffs her to a door handle and leaves to help Becca.

Pearl lets him in and he finds Becca totally wasted, leaning on a speaker. "Oh, yeah; I'm a rock star, all right. Can't even convince a boy to let me give him a blow job." Hank throws up in his mouth a little. She rebukes him for not wanting her to be honest. Hank tells her to go ahead, be honest. Give her old man a massive coronary.

Becca spills. She doesn't like how things are changing. Hank's not around, but she's not sure she even misses him. He says he'll always be her father, no matter what. Okay. But what does that mean? And Becca likes being messed up, now more than ever. She doesn't know if that's reality or Hank's genetics hard at work, but she's starting to get it, now. The funny stuff is way funnier when she's high, and the sad stuff isn't as sad. It's almost romantic, actually.

Karen takes Marcy to her abortion appointment. Marcy is bummed, and Karen suggests a change of topic. Marcy shares that Stu asked her to move in with him. Karen thinks that's exciting, but then she hasn't met Stu. A seriously pregnant woman arrives, and Marcy takes note of how happy she is. She's aware that she's never been that happy. Karen says that's just because she doesn't know what she has to look forward to, being a parent. Marcy's wheels start turning. What if this is her last chance at being happy, and she's just snuffing it out because it's inconvenient. Karen thinks that a part of Marcy wants to go through the pregnancy, because she's already canceled and rescheduled a bunch of times. Marcy vehemently disagrees, since she can't stand kids. The nurse calls Marcy's name, and she promptly scoots down in her chair.

Hank walks in his bar, and the bartender slides his drink to him before his butt even lands. A beautiful brunette at the bar comments on it, and Hank answers that membership has it's privileges. His day was not good, and he slides over a chair and starts flirting. They bond over difficult daughters, and mothers who drink with strangers.

Charlie is watching porn and masturbating when there's a knock on his patio door. He turns off the tv and does the walk of shame over to the door. It's Peggy, his real estate agent. The gate was open, and she walks in. The house fell out of escrow. The buyers couldn't get a loan. They'll need to put it back on the market. He'll talk to Marcy and get back to her. She asks him what adult film he was watching. They wind up in bed. She likes it rough, and roleplaying. Major orgasms are involved.

Hank and mystery brunette are in bed. He tells her she's very age-appropriate. He thinks that maybe he's finally growing up. She says she's in town a couple of times a year, maybe they should do it again. She goes in the bathroom, and Sasha knocks at the door. She wants to go over a few lines before she goes to meet her mom for breakfast. She comes in a couple of times a year to make sure Sasha is grounded. When Hank puts two and two together, Sasha asks if he's having a stroke. Sasha's mom comes out of the bathroom, and when Sasha puts two and two together, she kicks Hank in the balls.

Julia feels really bad for Sasha, having seen her mother like that. Hank contributes the information that Julia and Sasha slept with the same man. WHAT?! It's not very age-appropriate now, is it. Touché.

Hank arrives on the set and finds the director trying to talk Sasha out of her trailer. She's not answering. Hank gives it a shot, and she lets him in. She's grossed out. The worst part is she was really starting to like him. Best sex of his life. Hank gives her good advice. Don't take it out on her mom, she didn't know. And don't take it out on the cast and crew. They work hard, and they don't deserve it. She's awesome. She laughs, then tears up, then kisses him. She asks if it's weird and he says oddly no, but he's really good at compartmentalizing stuff. The only way he's going to get her back out there is by assuming the position. She puts his t-shirt over his head, his pants around his knees, and his hand cuffed to the same door handle he attached her to, then goes back to work.

Stu tells Marcy to be honest. If she's going to dump him, she needs to just do it. She breaks the pregnancy news to him. He's speechless, but then he laughs. His mom calls, and he tells her. Marcy never gets to tell him it's not his.

Hank meets Julia in the bar. They're talking when Sasha arrives. She still hates her mother, but she needs her so they are going to have some "just us" time. Hank tries to invite himself and Sasha says she's not speaking to him. If she were, she'd apologize for her behavior today. Hank said if she did, he'd probably admit that he deserved it, and apologize in return. Julia has a few words with Hank before she goes upstairs to join her daughter. She tells Hank that he is coming very close to the point of no return. He needs to get out while the getting is good. Meanwhile, he can keep his grubby paws off her daughter. The bar sings along with Tommy Lee, while Hank drinks and thinks.
