Plot

1993

Mr. Peanutbutter is getting ready to go to a Halloween party with Katrina Peanutbutter. They arrive at BoJack's house. BoJack asks what they are doing here and Mr. Peanutbutter says that they're going to have a crossover party so he brought his party to BoJack's house. BoJack assigns Princess Carolyn door duty. BoJack notices that the punch has been spiked. He decides that one drink won't hurt. Katrina gets upset at Mr. Peanutbutter because he leaves her alone while he goes to talk to other people. Katrina stands alone at the party. Mr. Peanutbutter jumps out of the pool and goes to talk to her. She tells him that she wants to leave but he just forces her to talk to BoJack. BoJack leaves to go find a costume and asks Princess Carolyn for help. She turns him into a "one night stand." Mr. Peanutbutter goes back to Katrina and she tells him that she talked to Ben Stein and Tim Allen about how the government is using their money. She brings up that now that they are in a new tax bracket maybe they should pay attention more to how the government is using their money. Mr. Peanutbutter is shocked that she learned all this from talking to Tim Allen and wonders how time flies. Katrina yells that she isn't having fun.

Katrina yells at Mr. Peanutbutter for leaving her alone. He says that he won't leave her side but she says that now she does want to be alone and leaves the party. Princess Carolyn says the party is over and everyone leaves. BoJack says that they'll have another party again next year.

2004

Mr. Peanutbutter is getting ready to go to a Halloween party with Jessica Biel. They arrive at BoJack's house. Mr. Peanutbutter says that they're here for the Halloween party that he's had for the last eleven years. Princess Carolyn answers the door to find three trick or treaters. She refuses to give them anything because they are too old to be trick or treating. One of the kids pushes up his mask in protest and is revealed to be a young Todd. Because Princess Carolyn doesn't give them any candy, thirteen-year-old Todd and his friends teepee BoJack's house. Mr. Peanutbutter asks Jessica why she's afraid of Mummys. She says it's because she auditioned for The Mummy movie with Brendan Fraser and didn't get the part. BoJack doesn't have a costume so asks Princess Carolyn for help. She takes him outside and uses the toilet paper to turn him into a mummy. He approaches Jessica Biel while Mr. Peanutbutter watches in dismay. He tries to get to her before she can see BoJack but fails.

Jessica yells at Mr. Peanutbutter for not keeping the mummy away.

2009

Mr. Peanutbutter is getting ready to go to a Halloween party with Diane Nguyen. Princess Carolyn answers the door and this time allows Todd to come into the party. Princess Carolyn has an epiphany while at the door realizing that she's been doing door duty for too long. She passes the box of screeners to Todd and he picks up the responsibility. BoJack complains that the cider doesn't have enough alcohol in it. Diane is upset because she has to explain her costume to everyone over and over. Mr. Peanutbutter asks if she wants to leave and she says no. Diane asks if they can go soon because being around so many famous people is making her nervous. Mr. Peanutbutter instead encourages her to go talk to other people. Diane goes up to BoJack to talk to him but he's on the phone. He puts his Mom on hold and guess what Diane's costume is right the first time. She tries to keep talking to him but he tells her that he's on the phone. She walks away and BoJack tells his mom that he wasn't talking to anyone important. Diane goes to tell Mr. Peanutbutter that she hates parties and that she's good in small groups. That it's too much pressure trying to be more fun than his ex-wives. She runs out of the house.

BoJack hangs up with his mom but promises to help figure out what they're going to do for his dad's funeral. He goes back into the house to learn from Todd that the party is over. BoJack tells Todd to stick around as long as he wants. Diane apologizes for ruining another Halloween for him. Mr. Peanutbutter says she didn't but that he loves her and wants to know the real her. Diane is still upset about BoJack but Mr. Peanutbutter tells her that he won't even remember that he met her.

2018

BoJack opens the door and finds Mr. Peanutbutter standing in front of his house with Pickles Aplenty and a bunch of other people. They storm BoJack's house and BoJack is upset because every year he has this party through no fault of his own. Gina is upset because she isn't wearing a costume and BoJack is. Gina says that she's going to Rite Aid to find a costume and will be back. Diane arrives having forgotten about the party. Princess Carolyn answers the door and Diane walks in. Diane says that she's just here to drop off pages for BoJack. BoJack asks the group who remembers the time that one woman freaked out because she saw a mummy. Mr. Peanutbutter says that that was his ex-wife. BoJack says that he's brought a lot of wives and girlfriends over the years. BoJack says he has to go run the costume contest and Mr. Peanutbutter can't believe that they've been having this party since 1993. Pickles tells him that that's the year she was born. Diane wants to leave but is trapped between two vehicles. Todd says that one of those vehicles is his car. He tosses her the keys and tells her to take it for a spin. Pickles goes up to Diane and tells Diane that it's okay if she's jealous. Diane says she isn't and walks away. Mr. Peanutbutter tells Pickles that that's just Diane and that she's no fun. Pickles gets upset because Mr. Peanutbutter continues to talk about his ex-wives. Mr. Peanutbutter realizes that all of his ex's have turned bitter and cruel after being with him but can't figure out the common denominator.

Diane returns and is now looking for the owner of a blue Tesla. She runs into BoJack who brings up the scene that they recently shot. Diane asks if he wants to talk about it and BoJack says no. She walks away and BoJack says that this party sucks. Pickles is dancing on the table when Mr. Peanutbutter comes to apologize for talking about his ex-wives. She says that it's fine because she is fun but then suddenly starts crying when she sees Diane. He says that they should leave but she tells him that she's having fun as she runs away from him. Diane sees Mr. Peanutbutter standing outside of the bathroom where Pickles is hiding. He tells her that he takes these amazing women and ruins them. Diane says that she isn't ruined and he says he doesn't listen. Diane says that he keeps dating people in their early twenties and that they aren't fully formed yet. He doesn't ruin these woman they just grow up. She tells him that he needs to either date older woman or grow up himself. She walks into the bathroom with Pickles. Diane tells her that she understands that it's hard to be the new girlfriend. Pickles wonders if she's a rebound. Diane says that Mr. Peanutbutter loved her for ten years and she was a rebound. She also tells Pickles that she doesn't have to worry about her because she isn't that person anymore, she is. Pickles goes back to Mr. Peanutbutter and Diane leaves. Mr. Peanutbutter suggests that they go home and hangout just the two of them. Pickles says that they are going to another party and that she never wants to grow up.

Everyone leaves just as Gina finally returns with a costume. She finds BoJack lying on a table. She gets upset and goes to bed.
