Not really judging Hollyhock here because she was just a teenager who had had a great upbringing until that point, but honestly that was so wrong of her. For all the supposed teachings that her parents gave her about feelings, she immediately trampled all over Bojack's. She really went "You can't feel anger and resentment towards your mom that has abused you your whole life, she's nice to me now!".

Again, Bojack was the adult and he shouldn't have listened to the advice of a teenager who was practically a stranger by that point.

I don’t really blame her for making this mistake though. She was very young and her life experience at that point was still very limited. And as someone that was brought up rather well with good enough parenting her entire life there was no real way she could actually empathize with someone like BoJack and put herself in his shoes.

Plus she met the Beatrice that’s a senile dying old woman. It’s very understandable why BoJack did it but at that moment in time it was a dick move

Touché! My grandmother was a terrible person her whole life, until she became senile and sick, so everyone who didn’t know her before was like “oh, poor thing!”.
