Hank tries to smooth things over with Becca, but she has some news about Tyler that leaves him shocked.

Hank's ex-girlfriend surprises him with a plan for them to be together forever.

After overstaying his welcome at Karen and Richard's house, Hank prepares to leave for New York. He makes a final stop at Malibar, where he runs into Lizzie, who convinces Hank to go back to Charlie's house with.

After the argument with Charlie, Hank stays Karen and Becca. While searching for a new agent, Hank meets Hollywood power agent Larry Levine, who quickly sets a meeting with the top-notch filmmaker Lars Manderhoff, who also happens to be a Hank Moody idol.

Upset over his losses, Charlie turns to Marcy for comfort as Lizzie enjoys her big break, a part in "Santa Monica Cop," thanks to Stu.
