17 minutes ruined the moral complexity of Bojack and Sara Lynn’s relapse by designating that rather than two fucked up enablers making bad decisions, he literally killed her through his criminal negligence. Takes the conversation from exploring how he let things get so bad to “nah, he definitely killed her, right there, at the end”. Rest of the build up doesn’t really matter as a result, and it no longer speaks to the dynamics of spirals but instead frames it as though Bojack could have saved her at the end but didn’t.

For any future comments: it’s really clear PC didn’t know Vincent was kids in a trenchcoat. I don’t think there’s a reasonable textual conclusion one can draw that pretends she knew. PC is a ton of things, but “someone who knew Vincent was children” is not among them, because in-universe, nobody knows except for Bojack. We can argue that she should know, but that would contradict the text explicitly. Best y’all get is that she is in denial because she kind of a narcissist?
