It’s one thing for Hank to wallow down his own path of self-pity. It’s another to bring his loved ones down with him. That’s the central problem in Californication’s latest episode “Getting the Poison Out.” After Hank summons a prostitute to help Levon lose his virginity, his relationship with Karen, his attitude toward women and his ability to be a father are called into question. By now, we know that naughty rumors about Hank pollute the California air. If you’re Hank Moody, you can’t get a breath in without hearing about your past indiscretions. When Levon hears that Hank not only bedded one of his students, but also his teaching assistant, and not to mention the dean’s wife, he couldn’t help but be envious of his old man. After all, Levon has never even had a girlfriend. He’s the kid who gets a little too aggressive over text and the girls go silent. Levon’s office behavior shows that his perception of women is clearly way off. He has a lot to learn if he wants to woo a woman. To Hank, the quick fix is setting him up with a prostitute. Levon sees no problem with it. “This is exactly what I thought having a father would be like,” he says, clearly not understanding the role of women, nor fathers.
