Recap

The scene opens, and somehow Hank has smoothed things over with Becca and we find the two of them making breakfast at Charlie’s. And to be honest – Hank made a pretty impressive pancake from the look of things. Anyway, Becca wants to know if Hank read Tyler’s screenplay, and when he says no, she gets him to agree to read it by threatening to never speak to him again. Actually a realistic possibility at this point. Later, Hank reads the screenplay. He spends all afternoon doing it and finally we find out that he’s furious because the story is fantastic, much to his surprise. Now at Karen’s, who also apparently forgives him for last episode’s stripper assault, Hank further explains that not only is the writing exceptional, but the content is wildly sexual and terrifyingly autobiographical. Basically, Hank is reading a detailed account of how Tyler beds his daughter. ..

Episode Quotes
Stu: Charlie, I know it´s very embarrassing, but you don´t have to worry about it, because you are having sex with Lizzie! And this is fucking primo shit! I mean, right on bro! (high fives Charlie)
Charlie: Thank you, Stu.
Stu: Lizzie, I´m sorry about objectifying you there, but you´re just way out of his league. No offence, Runkle.

Becca: Sometimes I think you wish I stayed some asexual little goth Muppet creature forever
