Also the whole side plot about the dominatrix wannabe agent and the 16 yr old negotiating about Hank's lost manuscript is just going to go nowhere. It's so superficial and transparent.

No, I think it's a necessary plot devise to advance all the major themes of the show, and it looks like a lot of stuff is going to unravel in the final two episodes as a result. Also, it just shows us again how brazen and manipulative Mia is capable of being.
I was sort of surprised that Hank/Charlie didn't even discuss the carjacking/loss of manuscript from last week.

I think it's a great twist. Hank can't really claim the material as his own without undergoing huge suspicion from others about him and Mia and he's probably going to be forced to write the screenplay, a format he hates, of the novel, the format he loves, that someone else stole from him. It adds a lot to the show.
