In a way, this is his curse: While Todd stumbles through life with the unwavering need to keep the people around him happy, he himself is constantly being overlooked and undervalued by these very people. Fittingly, he says in this episode: “I do love getting my picture taken. It’s proof I exist.” Todd becomes increasingly aware of this, stating only a few episodes later: “It’s always nice to be included in a sentence someone says.”

At the end of “Hooray! Todd Episode!”, however, it’s BoJack who surprisingly acknowledges how much Todd does for everybody. After BoJack tells Todd how much he appreciates him, Todd finally finds the courage to do what’s best for himself instead of doing what’s best for others. Having recently realized that he is asexual, he takes the first step to embracing it and goes to an asexual meet-up. Todd comes to terms with his childhood, reconnects with his family and even finds love.

In the last season, his stepdad Jorge tells Todd that he had always been mean to him because the world is mean. Todd replies: “Not my world.” While asserting himself, Todd chooses to hold on to his optimism and never loses his intuitive ability to anticipate what his friends need. In the last episode, Todd drags BoJack out of a party to watch fireworks with him on the beach. But while Todd uses his childlike exterior to convince BoJack to come with him, he doesn’t do it for himself. “So, why did we need to be on the beach?”, BoJack asks. “Oh”, Todd replies. “You just seemed really overwhelmed at the party.”
