Californication: The Party

Hank overstays his welcome at the house of Karen and Richard and hits the road with one last stop at Malibar, where he runs into Lizzie, who uses her newly acquired acting chops to lure him back to the Runkle Manor. Once there, Hank is surprised by everyone he loves and loathes: Karen, Becca, Charlie, Marcy, Stu, Richard and his creepy sponsor, Gabriel. Even Sam and Kali show up, but it's not a party until someone gets hurt and luckily for these partygoers, Hank has it in him for one final run-in with Tyler.

Recap

The episode begins, and newly released from rehab, Bates has decided to join the Jesus-freak parade; as he wants to atone for his sins. Maybe it’s the right move for him, after how things have turned out. Surely, getting naked in public places before streaking home is not the best life plan, and its time he got his act together. Hank is totally amused by this decision of his, but unfortunately will no longer be allowed in Bates’ home, much to his dismay, as all bad influences must be purged in favor of the sobriety effort; and that also means getting rid of the bad influence that is Frank.
