Hank’s most damaging secret is a secret no more. When Charlie finally bails Hank out, he has to break the news that he’s been exiled from Karen and daughter Becca. Hank has a meeting with alluring attorney Abby Rhoads, who against her better judgment agrees to represent Hank. Then it’s on to the UTK Agency to discuss turning the novel at the center of the scandal into a movie. In addition to a director and veteran producer, the stolen Hank Moody novel has also attracted the attention of young Hollywood starlet Sasha Bingham, whose interest in playing the Mia role is soon intensified by her own interest in Hank Moody.
