The new AMC dramedy Lucky Hank stars Bob Odenkirk as the chair of an English department at a fictional Pennsylvania college. He’s a novelist who, unfortunately, has only written one book and none since, so he’s deeply resentful of his current position and the success of everyone around him, especially his estranged literary scholar father, Hank Snr, who is on the cusp of retirement and is trying to bond with him.
The series is kick-started by Hank being ousted as the department chair and then, through a twist of fate, immediately being re-elected. That’s just the start of his titular “luck”, so to speak, but whether he could actually be considered truly lucky is a matter for some debate.
Here’s what happened in Lucky Hank Season 1 Episode 3:
- Hank was shocked to discover a moving pod outside his garage that contained the contents of his father’s office.
- In the pod, Hank found letters to his mother which proved she had been corresponding with his father for years. When he confronted her about it, she revealed that she had invited Hank Snr back to Railton and he had accepted.
- Pending cuts caused chaos in Railton College’s English department.
- Hank lied to Meg about not being able to give her any classes in the Fall. She drowned her sorrows, got very drunk, and tried to entice Hank into bed.
- Lily decided to take the job interview in New York.
