Californication 4x02

Californication, Suicide Solution, on Showtime
Hank is out on bail for the second time in a week. Bunking on the Runkles’ couch wasn’t too comfortable. So he crept into bed next to Marcy. Hilarious! The old opening credits are back, though. Karen still doesn’t want to talk to him. His lawyer lady Abby admits she gets off on cases like his. Marcy has a little talk with Karen so Hank can finally see his daughter. But Becca isn’t so happy to see her father either. Having screwed up so bad he can’t fix his relationship with the two loves of his life, Hank is too depressed to think about the movie adaptation of his novel. Still, Charlie introduces him to Eddie Nero (Rob Lowe) who would like to play Hank in the movie. He puts on a compelling performance that charms Hank, though he hates him, and scares Charlie, though he loves him. Nero toasts to hard cocks and handsome man. Hank visits Sasha again in her room, but they’re interrupted by Nero. Hank returns to the Runkles, popping too many pills and drinking too much booze. He types a letter to Becca and passes out. He OD’ed.

Yes, I understand that Moody broke the law when he slept with Mia. But, seriously, Cricketeers, what’s the big deal? She set him up – twice! It’s not as if a guy is going to ask to see a girl’s ID when she looks twenty-five. Did you see her boobs? Mia did not look like a sixteen-year old. She seduced him, punched his lights out, stole his manuscript and published it under her own name. This is the show’s set up from the start. Of course, it didn’t make anything better that Mia was the daughter of Karen’s boyfriend. He should have come clean, though, rather than sticking his head in the sand and hoping it would all go away. His life has been unraveling ever since. Now Hank has reached the point of no return. His career is looking up. He’s recognized as the author of Mia’s novel and production is about to start on the story’s adaptation. But his personal life is in shambles. He’s lost the two loves of his life, Karen and Becca. Will things be different this season? Will he get his life back on track? Will he win back his daughter? Will Karen move on? And most of all, will the Mia situation finally blow over?
