This one was a little hit or miss for me. The structure of splitting the episode into three individual stories was interesting, but the actual stories were a bit uneven.

I actually really enjoy the Princess Caroline/Vincent running gags the show has done, but this was a little too much of it in one sitting, with the switcheroo humor running thin quickly. That said, Todd's mini-version of the movie 'Her' with his and Princess Caroline's cell phones was pretty funny.

BoJack's story was cute enough, but the whole "you see, it takes time" message was a little too "Hooray For Metaphors!" for my taste.

The third story was the best, with Diane and Mr. Peanutbutter having a legitimately piercing conversation buoyed by some great comedy. (I love the banner/t-shirt gags on this show.) The pair have never seemed like they worked from the beginning, but this episode goes a long way toward showing how they could, or at least what keeps them together. It was funny and sad and sweet and just real enough to work.

I still can't believe Sir Paul McCartney actually participated in this. For a rather unknown show (at the time), it sure managed to attract quite a few celebrities.

Anyway, from the hilarious Princess Carolyn "adult" relationship with three kids on top of one another to the emotionally intense and brutally honest fight of Mr. Peanutbutter and Diane, this episode covered all of the things that make BoJack Horseman such an eclectic, mature and overall deeply entertaining show, setting itself apart from others of its ilk. Superb episode, indeed!

OMG, they actually got Paul McCartney to play himself.

That was a nice episode. Three shorts that all stem from Diane's surprise party and they're all about love. What is it, and how do you deal with it?

I don't understand how Princess Carolyn still hasn't caught on to Vincent yet. I mean, you saw his son walking with another woman. He didn't explain who that was.

BoJack and Wanda's story was excellent. He took the time to talk with his GF and started wondering whether or not he's rushing into things.

Then there's the best one of them all: Diane and Mr Peanutbutter. I think Diane's a little paranoid, but I understand her perspective. I'm glad Mr Peanutbutter and Diane worked it out in the end.

IT'S GREAT.

TECHNICAL SCORE: 7.5
ENJOYMENT SCORE: 8/10

So we're not gonna see Vincent any more ? Well, I loved the idea but that part was a little long.
Todd finding "Herb" in the car, nice one.
One of the best recurring small jokes is Mr Peanutbutter asking for stuff written on banners, cakes, merchandise.
