Aside from her probably lowered tolerance, she wasn’t doing well emotionally. She was even opening up to Bojack about how she doesn’t like anything about herself or her life. She won an Oscar(a big moment for anyone) but it’s not the life she wanted, none of it was.

In TVFHD, we see “Sarah” at the Door. She doesn’t immediately fall or jump in. She pauses. She looks. She contemplates. Then she jumps dramatically out of choice. I interpreted it as during those 17min between life and death, Sarah knew there was no escaping her life as a celebrity. So she chose death as her way out…and then her mom continues to make money off her name.

Bea never apologized for being an abusive parent. She apologized for the shitty circumstances surrounding Bojacks existence, divesting herself as an element

At best, she acknowledged her abuse by saying “you must think im a real monster”

Freezie Pop (basically an old timey popsicle) which is vastly different from ice cream even back then. Plus she only got like one taste. Given how traumatic that night was, she probably blocked it out

Diane and PC having a heart to heart about how Diane was trying to make her trauma into something “productive”. To hear that trauma can be repackaged into something positive and seemingly unrelated that still accomplishes the goal of validating others in your previous situation and helping them feel less alone was so…healing
