The series' first episode follows BoJack as he tries to revive his dormant acting career. After a breakup with his girlfriend, Princess Carolyn, the night before, BoJack wakes up hungover. Princess Carolyn, who is also his talent agent, encourages him to write a celebrity tell-all. BoJack struggles to begin the book until he meets ghostwriter Diane Nguyen at a party and the two agree to work together to tell his story. BoJack also discovers, to his disappointment, that Diane is dating Mr. Peanutbutter, his former sitcom rival.
