Afterward, he finds out that she is actually the year-old daughter of Karen's fiance. Of course, she never mentions her age until it's too late. This bad decision forms the major story arc for most of the first few seasons and comes back to haunt him throughout the rest of the show, derailing his life even more than usual.
Later on, she steals his manuscript and publishes his book under her own name, blackmails him, and eventually, he's charged for statutory rape. Not to mention the turmoil this causes in his relationships with Becca and Karen. During season five, Hank meets a cute woman on a plane, named Kali, and they share a makeout session.
He later realizes that she the love interest of Samurai Apocalypse, a rapper who wants to work with him. Samurai is protective of Kali and forbids anyone else from touching her. Despite knowing that Samurai carries a gun, and is willing to set up a beatdown on anyone, Hank still sleeps with Kali behind his back.
Thus, he puts his own life at risk for his own sexual needs. Hank's solution to his conflicts is often to punch people. That's how he ends up assaulting Mia's manager after he is informed they are going public with Mia and Hank's real story.
But when the person you punch is a cop, whom he assaults the same night, that's a recipe for disaster. Hank learns this the hard way when he ends up in jail for doing just that. He serves 72 hours in jail for the assault. His assault charges are dropped when an even bigger situation arises — thanks to the Mia story going public, he's about to stand trial for statutory rape.
A subdued effort from Hank, with his passionate message to Karen on the plane, was more fitting than the bombshell effort I was expecting. The imagery-ladden ending alludes to Hank, the rocket man, drifting off into the ordinary. He leaves his beloved car and the venomous city he loathes in pursuit of a happy ending back east. This time he finally got the ending right. In all seriousness, it feels like the end of an era.
I started watching the show as a teenager because it promised consistent nudity and it felt like nothing else on television, buoyed by a protagonist that was thoroughly unafraid to speak his mind.

Summer Preview: Check out all the must-see new shows Do you think Karen's car accident a few episodes earlier re-crystallized Hank's feelings for her after he'd been distracted by Levon and Julia? Duchovny: Yeah. I think that it's true to life. We walk around thinking that things are going to last forever and we're not going to die.
And then sometimes we're smacked into the reality that we're only here for a short time and everybody that we love is so precious because we don't know what's going to happen. It's always good to remind ourselves of it. Is that what ultimately pushed Hank to make another play for Karen?
Duchovny: No, his feelings for Karen have been remarkably consistent. He's always said, no matter what he was doing or who he was involved with, that he'd drop everything if Karen just said 'Let's do it. The last couple of years, they cooled off a bit. I think, in a way, maybe it makes sense that their final reunion on-screen is one based solidily of the past that they had. As they hold hands on the plane there, we're thinking back to the past seven years and what's gone on.
They have that, and they don't have that with anybody else. That's something. And yet it was still sort of a "dot, dot, dot" ending. Do you personally believe they will make it work this time? Duchovny: For me, that was always the happy ending that we were aiming for.
If they were to continue in some other dimension, I would think that they are together and that Hank and Karen ride off into the sunset together. TV's most memorable series finales of all time Do they move back to New York for good?
Hank did leave the Porsche behind. Duchovny: It seems like it. Hank is back in New York, and that's always where Karen wanted to be. More power to them.
You've said goodbye to a long-running show before on The X-Files. But whenever Hank and Karen were on, Hank did not fool around.
The way I saw him was that if Karen's not available it doesn't matter who he's with. Hank has been faithful in spurts, when they've been together, so I don't see any reason that he wouldn't be able to do it again. It's true that no matter what the circumstance, Hank and Karen are always under each other's skin. Even in the series' pilot, in which Karen decides to run off and marry the boring-but-dependable Bill, she and Hank are so obviously meant-to-be.
And while their complicated relationship weathers as many twists and turns as Coney Island's rickety Cyclone roller coaster, Hank's ardent, bone-deep affection for Karen -despite the drinking and sexual dalliances with a smorgasbord of nymphets, cougars and MILFs - has always remained steadfast and secure. He's never not loved her. Because that's who Hank is. He is a romantic, a dreamer, a Don Quixote with a beat-up Porsche and a bevy of lyrical zingers, inspired by everything from Warren Zevon to Robert Frost, at his quick disposal "That was not sex.
That was naked poetry. Once I had the rhythm then I could exchange words here and there; it didn't really matter whatever came out of my mouth. Tom was really liberal and not precious with his words. Hank is this totally unedited person. We all just had a lot of freedom to make it as naturalistic as we could.
