Hacks Season 3 Episode 8 recap
The penultimate episode of Hacks Season 3 titled Yes, And begins with Deborah Vance facing a scheduling conflict. She has been double-booked for a UC Berkeley ceremony and Palm Springs Pride. Choosing Berkeley for the career boost, she hopes to impress a New Yorker writer who is finalizing an article about her.
However, her plan unravels when a viral video surfaces, showcasing Deborah's racist and ableist jokes from decades past. As the clips gain traction, Deborah and her assistant Ava debate the best response. Ava suggests an apology, but Deborah resists, claiming comedians should not apologize for their jokes. The controversy intensifies, affecting Deborah’s honorary degree ceremony.
Forced to confront the backlash, Deborah reluctantly attends a town hall meeting to listen to offended students. Meanwhile, Marcus spends a chaotic weekend at a Palm Springs party house, juggling personal and professional challenges. He deals with upset fans at the House of Vance event, manages potential business changes involving QVC, and has a tumultuous encounter with a Deborah fan.
Deborah's eventual apology and willingness to learn earns her a positive New Yorker profile, securing her the desired late-night hosting job. The news is confirmed by Jimmy, who arrives with the official confirmation of her hosting job. Surrounded by her supportive team, Deborah shares a meaningful moment with Ava, reflecting on their hard-won success and the deep bond they've formed.
This episode critiques the concept of cancel culture, illustrating that famous individuals like Deborah often face minimal consequences. Despite the initial outrage, Deborah's career remains intact, emphasizing that accountability for the wealthy and famous is often superficial.
The finale of the show is expected to depict Deborah preparing for her new career while exploring Ava and Marcus' potential separation from the older comedian.
All seasons of Hacks are currently available to stream on Max.
