"One day this will all be a pleasant memory"

That line alone is impressive. Just the pure unhinged irony of it that she has shown to be bothered by this memory throughout the season shown through her attachment to a doll, and in the exact moment is forgetting her memory to the extent in which she cannot remember faces, yet nevertheless reminisces on this memory with complete clarity, it's beautiful.

I created an account just to rate this episode

I can't really find the words to describe it, this episode makes you go through sympathy, mercy, comfort and pain in twenty minutes. Just perfectly executed.

Great episode of an amazing show

This episode contains some of the most heart- wrenching moments of the entire series, which is really saying something. Bojack Horseman's strength is how the episodes build on each other, and with the weight of all the prior episodes behind it, this one packs huge emotional punches. A character that has been known for their evil and hatefulness is revealed to be one of the most tragic characters on the whole series. It is simply beautiful.

unbelievable. Kate Purdy nailed it. stay with this show to get here.

I seldom come out of the shadows to comment. season 1 to 3 = excellent. life. meaninglessness. despair. and death. rivaling russian novels. then, season 4 jumped the shark with 2nd stories that rival the episodes of Horsing Around - getting caught under ground, Mr. Peanut Butter running for office, working woman's desire for a baby, long lost daughter, etc. and at the last gasp. right when i was ready to ditch out, and out of nowhere - 'Time's Arrow'. holy F. art at its best. a story that could only be told through animation. weaving 3 years of subplots and story lines together. Kate, i hope that you are given more to do in Hollywoo. and maybe hire me as a PA too.

I shouldn't be surprised yet I am.

A lot of other people already said it but God damn this shows keeps doing this. I never thought an episode would top Escape to L.A. but this episode did it. If after over year you still haven't watched this show, do yourself a favor and lock yourself away for a weekend. One of the best episodes I have ever seen on TV and easily my favorite show on TV right now.

Trivia
In the flashback to Beatrice giving Bojack the painting, his fridge is shown to be full of lemons and sugar. Putting some sugar on a lemon is what Honey Sugarman called a good healthy girl snack when Beatrice was a child.

Beatrice Horseman: Yes, that's right. What else?
BoJack Horseman: The crickets are- are chirping, and the lake is still. And the night is full of stars.
Beatrice Horseman: I can see it, it's so clear. What- what are we doing here, BoJack?
BoJack Horseman: We're sitting on the back porch, and we're listening to your brother play the piano, and we're eating ice cream. Vanilla ice cream.
Beatrice Horseman: Yes, that's right. Oh, it's all so marvelous.
BoJack Horseman: Can you taste the ice cream, mom?
Beatrice Horseman: Oh, BoJack. It's so- delicious.
