It was written by Joe Lawson and directed by Amy Winfrey, and was released in the United States, along with the rest of season two, via Netflix on July 17, 2015.
This episode's title sequence is replaced with a special one set to "Kyle and the Kids", a parody of Full House opening credits theme "Everywhere You Look".
BoJack (Will Arnett) arrives in Tesuque, New Mexico, to surprise Charlotte (Olivia Wilde), a woman he knew in his early acting days with whom he desires to live happily ever after.
BoJack buys a yacht as a cover story for being in New Mexico, which he christens the Escape from L.A.. Charlotte convinces him to stay for a few days, which quickly becomes two months.
At home, Penny tells BoJack he is the only adult who doesn't infantilize her and sexually propositions him, rationalizing that she is above the age of consent in New Mexico.
Charlotte hears voices inside the yacht, opens the door, and finds BoJack and Penny in a compromising position.
[1] Like every second-to-last episode of a BoJack Horseman season, "Escape from L.A." is particularly significant, and leaves the title character in a difficult place.
[2] BoJack ends the episode at a low point, as his time in New Mexico proves to be a major source of remorse that will haunt him for the rest of the series.
Club gave the episode an "A" grade, describing it as a series standout, and as a risky and "unequivocal condemnation of its main character".
