Lucky Hank episode 2 brief recap
The last episode saw Hank's mental health deteriorate. He lost interest in his job and entered a midlife crisis. His relationship with his wife Lily and daughter Julie began decaying and his deep-rooted issues with his father, William Henry "Hank" Devereaux Sr., were also brought to light.
Hank was informed by Dean Rose that Booker prize novelist George Saunders was visiting their college and the professor was supposed to interview him. The college had paid $50,000 to bring him but Hank had no desire to come face to face with the famous novelist.
Hank and George in fact knew each other. They both released their first novels together, but while Saunders kept progressing by releasing more books, Hank stuck to his monotonous job. Hank didn't end up writing anything after his debut novel as he had writer’s block.
He even believed that his father was more proud of George, which made him bitter towards the novelist. Fortunately, the two novelists managed to clear their differences. George also revealed that he was a fan of Hank's work.
The official synopsis of the episode, titled George Saunders read:
"When George Saunders visits Railton College, the professors scramble to impress the celebrated writer, while Hank is reminded of his own failed writing career; Hank and Lily anticipate an announcement from their daughter Julie."
The episode aired on March 26, 2023, and was directed by Peter Farrelly.
Fans are now excited to see what Lucky Hank episode 3 will have in store for them when it releases on AMC on Sunday, April 2, 2023, at 9 pm (ET).
