6. The Kidney Stays in the Picture

Complete story — includes the ending

Todd's stepfather Jorge visits to inform him that his estranged mother Helen needs a kidney, but Todd has already sold his to Whitewhale. They travel to Chicago and break into the center with Diane's help, retrieving the kidney while Jorge reveals to Todd that it was Helen who kicked Todd out when he was younger, not himself. Hollywoo falls into chaos with all the assistants on strike, and Princess Carolyn and Lenny Turtletaub shut it down by promoting the leaders and destroying the union. However, Princess Carolyn remembers her life as an assistant and decides to actually make a difference, enlisting the aid of Judah Mannowdog to help the assistants. BoJack leaves rehab but finds Doctor Champ at a bar, where he points out that BoJack has no horses in his life except Hollyhock because they all remind him of his parents, and BoJack checks him into another rehab facility when he continues to drink. Doctor Champ, blaming BoJack for his loss of sobriety, bitterly warns him that he destroys anyone who cares about him and wants him to remember the damage he's caused. Bojack, now sober, accepts his past mistakes and BoJack decides to finally go home.
