We are then interrupted from the scene by another flashback where Hank, Al, Karen, and Becca are eating dinner at the dinner table. He says a pretty funny quote “You can’t snort a line of coke off a woman’s ass and not wonder about her hopes and dreams, it’s not gentlemanly” I find it to be pretty genius and I don’t know how people come up with lines like these. Trixie charges Hank but the problem is he has no money left to pay her because he brought them some coke.
Trixie then tells Hank her real name which is Beatrice and that she is seriously a hooker. Hank is snorting coke off the back of Trixie, Trixie tells Hank she is hooker he doesn’t believe her and tells her to stop joking. We return to reality once again with a Mick Jagger type of scene. Al admits that he has never read any of his books but that his wife (Hank’s mother) summarized the books for him. We enter another flashback, this one takes place when Carr is directing “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” Hank is there and he starts to argue over the dialogue, this then leads to an intersting conversation between Hank and Al about Hank’s books, because Al is also at the scene with Hank.
He rejects the ticket and calls Al an asshole. Karen enters the bar and gives her condolences to Hank but she also informs him that she brought him an airplane ticket to attend his father’s funeral in New York City. We go back into the present time and we see Hank drinking in a bar with a young lady named Trixie (who is later revealed as a prostitute). Hank looks annoyed and then replies by saying it is a purple flower Al calls him a smart ass and the flashback ends with them talking about Hanks mom who already passed away by that time. Then a big foreshadowing kind of appears when Hank and Al pass by a tree by the airport, Al asks Hank what type of flower is on the tree. The first thing Al starts talking about was the really good looking flight attendants and their big boobs I thought it was pretty funny for a man his age to be talking about that. We meet Al and I got to see where Hank got his personality and his “bad-ass” attitude from, because his father has an even more worse, sarcastic, and ignorant personality. This gives a clue that his father Al is dead, during this flashback Hank remembers when he picks up father from the airport with his clean car (and not the one we always see with his headlights missing). He makes a sad face and then goes into a flashback. The episode starts off with Hank receiving a phone call from his sister. These flashbacks have a lot to do with Hank’s relationship with his father but also with the beginning of his troubled relationship with Karen and also Becca. The major difference is that Hank has numerous flashbacks in this episode that take place about 2 – 3 years behind in his life. Usually the rest of the episodes have a little short scene to start off the episode and grab your attention, I believe they left this out in this episode because it is a very serious and difficult episode in the matter of Hank’s life. The first minor difference I noticed is that this episode is the first episode that does not include a scene before the main intro of the season plays. I noticed that this episode is much more different then the rest of the episodes in season 1 which kind of took me by surprise. After a long day at school and delicious dinner I went to my computer and put on the eighth episode of Californication Season 1, which is called “California Son”.
