So I am really not sure what Mia wants from Hank. After the sex and the black eye I thought it was just to get back at him for him trying to take her dad's new fianc away. But then the way that she called him once only to cry wolf, she's messing with his head some how. But then she calls him when she is in real trouble. It is not like she needs a father figure in her life. And I feel sorry for Becca, all she wants is her parents together. She knows it is not going to happen so she will settle even with them having dinner as friends. Then Mia messes that up. I wish Hank would have just stayed with her. Poor girl.moreless

this one is slightly off what what I have come to expect from the show. Still good but it is more about the plot and less about the characters.

From a show that is largely build on character development you come to expect a lot more than what this particular episode delivers. Hank's character seem a little bit shallow with the recurring theme of Bob Dylan but the good thing is that this is only a suttle slip up. Otherwise there is a much awaited development in the father daughter relationship. Only the development of that particular story suffers greatly from the format, i.e. the fact that you have roughly 25 minutes to develop a story and bring it to a conclusion.
Anyway, all flaws aside, the episode is not very eventful and deals with 2 major stories, the one about Hank and his ex not-exactly-a-wife and the one about Charlie and his marital problems. Both stories are fairly well developed given the format constraints and the acting is just as great as in the previous episode. The average classification of this review is only average for the show not compared to the loads of sub par production on TV.moreless

This show wasn't quite my favorite, although I have to say that's all relative because i still am in love love love with the show. I am getting a little tired of Mia's antics since she is clearly doing a lot of this on purpose, although how much can you blame a 16 year old kid for the kid of stuff that she is pulling. I think the reason she bothers be so much is that I want Karen and Hank to get together so much and I know that somewhere down the line him having slept with Mia is totally going to derail that. I also felt really bad for Becca in this episode. She just wants a family and not just any family but her own and all of the stuff that keeps going on is making her kinda unhappy. Although she is a pretty insightful kid for being 12 or however old she is. The stuff with Hank's agent was pretty funny, some nice comic relief for the seriousness that was this episode. I almost died laughing when the nipple clamp thingy pulled off his nipple. So funny.moreless

- Hank: (to Karen, after getting her the job to work on Todd Carr's house) Wanna jump my bones now, or hold out for a situation with a little more back support? Edit
- Becca: (to Hank) You know it's all well and good to talk about happy endings, but if a person can't deliver, if he keeps screwing up, well eventually, I guess you kinda just have to say, "fuck you," or words to that effect. Edit
- Marcy: You know, I'm bad with mechanical things. Charlie: Tell that to my missing nipple. You took of like twelve layers of skin. Marcy: I'm sorry, nipple. Edit
Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Karen: (referring to their old house in New York) You hated that place! Hank: Yeah, but you loved it. Just like you love fucked up architecture like this, and David Hockney, and gigantic fucking earrings, and the complete and utter cliche of driving west on Mulholland at sunset. David Hockney is a British artist who has worked in photography and painting, among other areas. He completed most of his major works in the 1960s and 70s. Edit
- Becca: (reading aloud from a book) Nothing Gold Can Stay. Nature's first green-- Hank: Just stop. I think I just threw up in my mouth a little. Nothing Gold Can Stay is a poem written by Robert Frost in 1923. It is one of his shortest poems, with just eight lines, but critics consider it among Frost's best pieces of poetry. Edit
- Hank: (to Todd Carr) You got me all wrong. You see, I try to live in an ivory tower, but a tide of shit is constantly beating at its walls. Karen: Don't be impressed, he stole that from Flaubert. Gustave Flaubert was French novelist who is best known for his first novel, Madame Bovary, which was published in 1857. Hank's quote came from a letter that Flaubert wrote to Ivan Turgenev, a fellow novelist, in 1872. Edit
