Hannah, who has been trying to reach Marnie since Elijah revealed their secret, gets a response announcing that she's at Booth's, and the trio heads to his place.<br><br>Marnie is mortified that Hannah has arrived at Booth's coked up and with Laird the junkie in tow. Hannah is on a mission and launches into a tirade about what a bad friend Marnie is, forcing her to acknowledge a multitude of perceived transgressions and that she is indeed a bad friend. Hannah tells Elijah he'll be moving out immediately since he's ruined everything, from her friendship with Marnie to her relationship with cocaine, which could have been her favorite drug. She storms out with Laird.<br><br>Back at their building, Hannah refuses Laird's handshake and starts kissing him sloppily instead.

Shoshanna overhears Adam complaining to Hannah about the difficulties of sleep without ejaculation and she decides to show herself out until the &quot;cum parade has paraded on by.&quot;</p><p>Later, Hannah finds Shoshanna sitting in the motel's hallway. She asks Shoshanna if she thinks Adam is right, not about the lack of value in watching sitcoms, but that picking up Jessa might do more harm than good. Despite her binge-drinking, heavy drug use, and recent divorce, Shoshanna doesn't believe her cousin has anything to worry about, citing rehab is a rite of passage for celebrities. She has surmised that Jessa has &quot;probably already met Ryan Philippe, and they're probably engaged.&quot;</p><p>The next morning, Hannah, Adam, and Shoshanna are back on the road. Adam, sick of Hannah's whining, pulls over and announces they're taking a spontaneous hike. Despite Adam's joyful insistence that God is all around them, Hannah refuses to go along. &quot;It's liberating,&quot; she tells him, &quot;to say no to shit you hate.&quot;</p><p>Jasper returns to his room to find that Jessa, who slept at the foot of his bed the night before, is still there. He admits that he was &quot;pants-shittingly scared&quot; that he'd return to find that she'd left before they had the chance to &quot;properly f*ck.&quot; She rebuffs him, assuring him they were never going to have sex despite his belief that it was destined from the moment they met. After learning he's been using pills, she bids him goodbye. He insists their paths will cross again.</p><p>They arrive at Sheltering Winds, where Dr. Sterns hands Jessa over to Hannah, explaining that she's been removed from the program for various offenses—including fraternizing (intense sexualized socializing, not joining a frat as Jessa tries to explain) and &quot;distributing a ‘zine of provocative cartoons.&quot; She also shares the unwelcome news that Sheltering Winds employs an open-door policy and that they'd even offered to drive Jessa to the airport.</p><p>Hannah privately berates Jessa for lying to her as well as abandoning her at her father's house. &quot;I just wish that you would get it that this is not okay behavior for a friend!&quot; she says. After airing her grievances, Hannah throws her arms around her friend and tells her how much she's missed her. &quot;I would really like it if you would please stop leaving because I'm really looking forward to you being around more.&quot; Jessa assures her she's done with all that. Adam offers to bring Jessa along to a &quot;meeting or whatever&quot; and the four friends drive off back to New York.</p></div>

She Said OK

<div class='episode-body-left-aligned' style='text-align: left'><p><b>Written by</b> Lena Dunham &amp; Jenni Konner<br><b>Directed by</b> Jesse Peretz</p><p>Adam's Hannah-administered haircut is interrupted by a frantic phone call from his sister, Caroline, who claims to have been dumped by her boyfriend and left by the side of the road. Adam reluctantly supplies her with their address, and she arrives in a state of anguish over the end of her tumultuous relationship and the loss of her teaching job. Hannah tries to offer Caroline use of their spare bedroom, but Adam objects, insisting that past experience has taught him that Caroline &quot;destroys everything in her wake.&quot;</p><p>Marnie deals with a crisis of her own as she makes a futile attempt to have her poorly received music video cover of Edie Brickell's &quot;What I Am&quot; removed from YouTube. She refuses to contact Charlie, who paid for and posted the video, to ask for the password that would be necessary to scrub this painful vestige of their relationship from the public record.</p><p>Hannah lies to Caroline, saying they've already got a houseguest booked in the form of her old gymnastics friend, Kerrity. Caroline reveals some bruises on her thigh caused by a &quot;provoked physical attack from someone [she] love[s].&quot; Unable to maintain her resolve, Hannah rashly invites Caroline to her 25th birthday party that evening.</p><p>Ray talks with his boss, Hermie, about some of his fears as he takes over the new Grumpy's, which is to be named Ray's. He's scared to be in charge, but Hermie assures him he'll be fine and offers up some fatherly advice: &quot;Don't hit anyone, don't shtup anyone, clean so the rats don't get tempted, and you've got yourself a business.&quot; Ray believes he can manage that.</p><p>Hannah, Adam and Caroline arrive at the bar where Marnie is hosting Hannah's birthday party, funded by Hannah's parents, Tad and Loreen. Hannah greets some revelers, including Laird and Adam's friend Tako, before she and Marnie join Jessa and Shoshanna in the back. They toast to Hannah, and Shoshanna expresses amazement at how little the other three have accomplished since college. Marnie, sensing an opportunity to show off, suggests to Hannah that they get onstage and sing &quot;Take Me or Leave Me&quot; from ‘Rent,' as they did at Hannah's 21st birthday, though Hannah is uninterested.</p><p>After rejecting her invitation to dance, Ray is bitten by Caroline. He heads to the bar and strikes up a friendly conversation with Kobi, who turns out to be Shoshanna's date for the evening, a man she met on the street while searching for &quot;some dank weed.&quot; A crestfallen Ray encounters Shoshanna outside and attempts polite conversation before giving up and admitting he has no interest in being her friend.</p><p>David Pressler-Goings, Hannah's e-book editor, arrives at the party uninvited. Noticeably high, he commandeers Hannah's cell phone to download Grindr before heading off to enjoy some solo dancing.</p><p>Ray's evening of heartbreak and physical suffering continues when the DJ abruptly stops playing the &quot;great&quot; song Ray requested in favor of a &quot;piece of shit song.&quot; He confronts the DJ and is informed that David -- or &quot;poor man's Anderson Cooper,&quot; as Ray calls him -- is the one to blame for the switch. David has little interest in Ray's drunken lecture about song request etiquette and turns his back on him during the ensuing tirade. After exchanging shoves, a frustrated Ray goes in for a punch, but David ducks and throws him into a table, leaving Ray bloody, humiliated, and deeply sad.</p><p>Despite Hannah's earlier refusal, Marnie drags her onstage to perform &quot;Take Me or Leave Me.&quot; The duet largely highlights Marnie's talents, while Hannah is mostly reduced to standing uncomfortably in her &quot;Birthday Bitch&quot; hat. Hannah is saved from further embarrassment by Tako's announcement of a fight in the next room.</p><p>Later, as Adam and Hannah walk home from the party, he presents her birthday gift -- a necklace with his baby tooth on it. &quot;It's either mine or Caroline's,&quot; he tells her. &quot;It's definitely my genetic material.&quot; His present is extremely well-received, and they burst into their apartment, tearing off each other's clothes. Hannah rushes off to pee and finds a bottomless Caroline behind the bathroom door, crushing a glass in her hand. After a trip to the ER, Hannah allows Caroline to stay the night, much to Adam's chagrin. &quot;I told you,&quot; he says, stewing. &quot;She got in. She won.&quot;</p></div>

Dead Inside

<div class='episode-body-left-aligned' style='text-align: left'><p><b>Written by</b> Judd Apatow &amp; Lena Dunham<br><b>Directed by</b> Jesse Peretz</p><p>A flustered Hannah arrives late to a meeting with her editor, David Pressler-Goings, though she is relieved to learn that he has yet to arrive himself. Her relief subsides, however, when she overhears the receptionist reveal to a coworker that David has died.</p><p>Back at home, Hannah, still numb, regales Jessa with the details of her morning. Jessa explains that death is just &quot;something that happens. It's like jury duty. Or floods.&quot; Adam arrives home, proudly toting a framed photograph of a young Tom Hanks. Hannah shares with him the news of David's death, though Adam's sympathy wanes when he discovers that the primary source of Hannah's distress is her confusion over the fate of her e-book, not grief over the loss of someone she &quot;really knew.&quot; He admits being scared that Hannah might fail to appreciate the gravity of his own death, but she tries to reassure him by revealing that she thinks about him dying &quot;all the time.&quot;</p><p>Jessa and Shoshanna discuss their experiences with death. Shoshanna tells the story of her high school friend Kelly, who died in a car accident. Jessa opens up about the death of her &quot;favorite friend,&quot; Season. She &quot;loved her a lot&quot; and used to &quot;tickle her all the time.&quot; Now Jessa doesn't even have a picture of her. Shoshanna encourages Jessa to contact Season's mom or visit her grave, or at least her Facebook &quot;in memoriam&quot; page. Following their talk, Jessa, in search of Season's burial site, calls an old friend and is shocked to learn that Season is still alive.</p><p>Concerned about making rent now that her e-book deal may be in limbo, Hannah picks up an extra shift at Ray's. She admits to Ray that she feels nothing over David's death. Disgusted by her &quot;sociopathic detachment,&quot; he asks her, &quot;You don't think it's slightly odd that I feel worse than you do right now, and the one time I met this dude, he hurled me across the room into a small table?&quot;</p><p>Jessa tracks down Season and finds her living in a well-appointed brownstone, married with a baby. Jessa is furious with Season for faking her death as a means of avoiding her. Season explains that she had a terrible drug problem and desperately needed to get away from Jessa and her enabling tendencies. Jessa objects, but Season reminds her of the time she told her she needed counseling and Jessa took her to an ayahuasca ceremony. Jessa storms out, telling Season that &quot;none of this is going to work out&quot; for her.</p><p>Hannah runs into Laird in the hallway and shares the news of David's passing. Saddened, he swallows her in a big hug. Laird understands. His &quot;whole life has been death.&quot; He's lost everyone, including his turtle, which he didn't even think was possible. Caroline, on her way out for her &quot;afternoon constitutional,&quot; invites Hannah, Laird, and his turtle carcass (entombed in an empty Pom bottle) to join her.</p><p>Caroline leads the motley crew to a cemetery, where they frolic among the headstones. Hannah admits to Caroline that she fears Adam won't want to be with her once he realizes she can't match &quot;his strength of emotion.&quot; While lying in the grass, Caroline shares the tragic story of her and Adam's cousin, Margaret, who died of muscular dystrophy at age 12. She explains that Adam spent every moment with her and even took her to his senior prom. She died a week later, &quot;clutching the wilted corsage he had given her in one hand, while holding his in the other.&quot; Laird is moved to tears, while Hannah can only bring herself to muster up a &quot;that sucks.&quot; Bewildered over Hannah's inability to foster an emotionally appropriate reaction to such a sad tale, Caroline admits she made the whole thing up.</p><p>While working a shift at Ray's, Marnie hears the faint yet familiar sounds of her humiliating YouTube video emanating from Ray's office. She heads back to find Ray and Hermie sharing a good chuckle over her misfortune. They try and fail to conceal their delight over her &quot;music fail,&quot; and Marnie quits in a rage, insisting that &quot;fancy people want to work with&quot; her and she intends to &quot;give them that pleasure.&quot;</p><p>Hannah returns home to find Adam sitting glumly on their stoop. In an attempt to forge an emotional connection with him, she tries to bring herself to cry over David's death. Unable to really let the tears fly, she switches gears and retells Caroline's fake cousin story, this time casting herself as the sympathetic, emotionally generous hero as a compassionate Adam listens on.</p></div>

Only Child

<div class='episode-body-left-aligned' style='text-align: left'><p><b>Written by</b> Murray Miller<br><b>Directed by</b> Tricia Brock</p><p>Hannah and Adam attend David's funeral where they meet a beautiful woman, Annaliese, who they are shocked to learn is David's widow. Annaliese is overcome with emotion upon meeting Hannah until she realizes that she is not who she thinks she is -- an &quot;amazing girl&quot; named Paige who was writing a memoir about her struggles with obesity and Tourette's syndrome. As they take their seats, Adam openly questions David's sexuality. Hannah is equally surprised. &quot;He had gay apps on his iPhone and he liked to show his ankles, but what does that even mean in this day and age?&quot;</p><p>After the service, Hannah approaches Annaliese, who accidentally reveals that David's company has dropped all of his projects, including Hannah's e-book. Incredulous, Hannah asks the grieving widow for a new publishing contact so that she can -- in a poorly chosen turn of phrase -- keep her book alive. &quot;If I give you another name,&quot; Annaliese asks, &quot;will you get the f*ck out of here?&quot;</p><p>While out for a walk with Shoshanna, Jessa spots a Help Wanted sign in the window of Sweet Emma, a children's clothing store. Set on making real changes in her life, Jessa decides that this is a job she must have. Shoshanna questions the wisdom of the plan, asking, &quot;Are you sure that's the kind of job you should be having? Being near things that children are near?&quot;</p><p>Exhausted by Adam and Caroline's increasingly hostile family squabbles, Hannah invites the Sackler siblings to take a seat at the &quot;listening table.&quot; She proudly claims to have watched enough ‘Dr. Phil' and ‘Intervention' to know that any problem can be resolved through the art of communication. However, the faux therapy session quickly unravels when Caroline accuses her brother of harboring sexual fantasies about her. Hannah makes some headway in squashing this familial beef after expressing the loneliness that she's always felt as an only child.</p><p>Amidst the chaos, Marnie calls and demands that Hannah come over and meet her new kitten. When Hannah explains she's in the middle of a &quot;very real moment,&quot; Marnie hangs up on her. Gazing upon her new feline companion, Marnie coos, &quot;You're my best friend.&quot;</p><p>The following day, Hannah takes a meeting with a new publisher. They are big fans of Hannah's book, but because they don't do e-books, they express interest in publishing her work as &quot;an actual book that you can hold.&quot; Hannah is ecstatic. &quot;I just said yes to an e-book because it was better than a no-book!&quot;</p><p>Marnie, lonely and distraught after months of heartbreak and rejection, finds herself searching for answers. She tracks down the one person who she believes will tell her exactly what is wrong with her. She arrives at Ray's door and he rattles off a list of cold, hard truths, concluding that she's a &quot;huge, fat, f*cking phony.&quot; He softens the blow by assuring her that he still likes her, since he knows that her flaws come from a deep well of insecurity and that she's a good person at heart. He offers Marnie a hug, which quickly leads to sex. Afterwards, when Ray suggests they keep their tryst a secret, Marnie is more than happy to oblige. &quot;Go f*ck yourself. Like I'd <i>advertise</i> this?&quot;</p><p>After her meeting, Hannah receives a call from her dad, who explains that cousin Rudy has looked over her old contract with David's company and discovered that they retain the rights to her book for the next three years. Hannah doesn't take this news well, insulting cousin Rudy's credentials as a Subway sandwiches franchise lawyer and questioning her father's sanity.</p><p>Back at home, Hannah reviews her contract and confirms Rudy's damning revelation. She vents her frustration to Caroline, who encourages her to write another book and shares the story of her failed audition for ‘Independence Day,&quot; before attempting to turn Hannah against Adam. Sick of Caroline's bullshit, Hannah tells her to &quot;get the f*ck out&quot; of her apartment.</p><p>When Adam arrives home, Hannah, expecting him to be thrilled, announces that she threw Caroline out. But she's miscalculated -- Adam is furious. &quot;I'm supposed to be taking care of her. She's my sister. Do you understand that?&quot;</p></div>

Free Snacks

<div class='episode-body-left-aligned' style='text-align: left'><p><b>Written by</b> Paul Simms<br><b>Directed by</b> Jamie Babbit</p><p>After bungling yet another coffee order, Hannah pulls Ray aside to tell him she's been hired to write for <i>GQ</i>, for a new section called Field Guide to the Urban Man. Ray doubts the likelihood of <i>GQ</i> hiring Hannah to be a staff writer and pushes her to reveal who is sponsoring what is clearly an advertorial. She admits Neiman Marcus is the benefactor. &quot;Do you think I'm f*cking excited?&quot; she barks at him. &quot;Do you think that I think this is the best use of my literary voice and my myriad talents?&quot;</p><p>The following morning, Ray calls Marnie to &quot;check in,&quot; looking to make sure that their sexual dalliance hasn't affected their friendship. Marnie reminds him that they weren't friends to begin with and asks if he really cares about what's going on in her life. Ray insists that he's just trying to follow &quot;the protocols of a gentleman and a squire&quot; before giving up and admitting that he doesn't actually care about what's going on in her life. After hanging up, he calls back immediately to apologize, saying that he does truly care. Marnie dares him to prove it.</p><p>Hannah is feeling lost and out of place during her first day at <i>GQ</i> until a friendly fellow coworker, Joe, introduces himself and takes her on a tour of her new corporate surroundings. Hannah is most intrigued by the snack room, where she is astonished to learn that all the treats are free. Moments later, Hannah arrives to a meeting with an armful of snacks, worried that she might have overdone it.</p><p>Hannah's boss, Janice, kicks off the meeting and asks everyone to contribute &quot;types&quot; for the Field Guide. Hannah pitches several successful ideas, impressing all of her colleagues, save for a jealous Kevin. Janice rejects his contribution (&quot;The Mod Hatter&quot;), explaining that's not a type, but rather &quot;just some guy you saw.&quot;</p><p>Shoshanna hangs out with Jessa at Sweet Emma, upset over the success of Ray's new business. &quot;Ray is being written about in popular service publications, and my life is a mess,&quot; Shoshanna laments. &quot;I know that that was a personal choice, but I feel like maybe it is time for me to <i>unchoose</i> that choice.&quot; This unchoosing will begin to manifest itself with her pursuit of a mature, committed relationship. She considers a recent fling, Parker, but worries that he's so stupid that their &quot;children wouldn't get into pre-school.&quot;</p><p>Seeking to prove his good intentions, Ray heads to Marnie's tiny apartment, vegan muffins in tow. Marnie is skeptical of Ray's good nature. They settle in for an afternoon of ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' on Marnie's laptop.</p><p>Hannah arrives home from work, excited after a mostly successful first day. Her enthusiasm wanes after Adam tells her about the audition he &quot;bailed&quot; on because he didn't find it challenging enough. Hannah offers a new &quot;cool, fun challenge:&quot; getting a real job, though the suggestion falls on large, deaf ears.</p><p>The next morning, Hannah listens on in horror as her coworkers reveal they were all accomplished creative writers before taking jobs writing advertorials at <i>GQ</i>. Learning that none of them write anymore outside of the drudgery of their corporate jobs, Hannah rushes to the ladies room to gather her thoughts under the cooling waters of the bathroom faucet.</p><p>Shoshanna pitches Parker on the benefits of being in a committed relationship. &quot;I'm down for whatever,&quot; responds Parker. The romance begins.</p><p>Hannah heads to Janice's office, intent on quitting. She explains that she's afraid she'll get &quot;seduced by all the perks&quot; and wind up becoming a former writer who works in corporate advertising. Janice accepts her decision, saying that plenty of other writers would love the job if Hannah wasn't interested. Hannah marches out, before immediately regretting her decision. She marches back in to announce that she's reconsidered and would like to stay. Later, Joe overhears Hannah crying in her cubicle and calls to console her. He assures her she can still be a writer, so long as she maintains her focus and writes every night and weekend.</p><p>At a Chinatown restaurant, Marnie and Ray share a plate of dumplings and some family stories. The conversation turns sour when the subject of Western aid to Africa is broached. Marnie accuses Ray of being a racist, while he accuses her of being dumb and shallow. Marnie gets up to leave, but Ray convinces her to take her seat. &quot;You have no one else to each lunch with. And neither do I.&quot;</p><p>Hannah returns home to an exuberant Adam; he got a callback from an audition. &quot;I murdered it. I cut its f*cking guts out and left it in a dumpster by the side of the road,&quot; he crows. Hannah is happy for him and explains she's starting a new routine -- three hours of writing after work every night. Her drive quickly gives way to exhaustion, and she falls asleep on the couch while Adam recounts the details of his day.</p></div>

Beach House

<div class='episode-body-left-aligned' style='text-align: left'><p><b>Written by</b> Jenni Konner &amp; Lena Dunham &amp; Judd Apatow<b><br>Directed by </b>Jesse Peretz</p><p>Marnie readies a gorgeous beach house for the arrival of Hannah, Shoshanna, and Jessa. She meets the girls at the bus station, where Shoshanna expresses joy at getting to spend the weekend in the Hamptons. Marnie reminds her that they are not in the Hamptons, but rather the North Fork - a place that, to Shoshanna's dismay, does not house a J. Crew.</p><p>Upon entering the house, the girls fight over the right to sleep in the master bedroom. Having anticipated such a squabble, Marnie explains that she has assigned everyone a room. Hannah is less than thrilled to learn that her room connects to Marnie's. The girls briefly put aside their differences as they retreat to the pool for a fun group swim.</p><p>Marnie moves the party over to the cold, rocky beach, where the girls complain about the inhospitable conditions. Tired of her friends' gripes, Marnie laments how &quot;disconnected&quot; they've all become. She had hoped the trip would serve as an opportunity for the foursome to &quot;prove via Instagram&quot; that they can still have fun together.</p><p>To prepare for Marnie's healing dinner, the girls ride bikes into town for supplies. Hannah, barefoot and still clad in her tiny green bikini, is refused entry in the grocery store. Waiting outside, Hannah overhears a group of men poking fun at her revealing outfit. When she turns around, she discovers Elijah - along with his new boyfriend Pal and two other friends - Paul and Gerald. Elijah apologizes to Hannah for sleeping with Marnie and wrecking their friendship. They settle their differences and Hannah invites him and his friends back to the beach house to save her from the hell that is Marnie's carefully calculated weekend of reconciliation.</p><p>Fun is had by all back at the house, save of course for Marnie, who pulls Hannah aside. Marnie expresses her frustration at Hannah for inviting outsiders into their exclusive bonding weekend. Hannah argues that their presence will lighten the mood, and that it makes perfect sense for Elijah to be involved as he was the source of their rift. Later, while Marnie prepares dinner, Elijah approaches her to apologize. They bond over boyfriend stories; Elijah admits that he's in love with Pal, and Marnie once again shares the sad story of her breakup with Charlie. Elijah is happy to reveal that he's always hated Charlie, ever since he realized that they weren't both closet cases.</p><p>At Marnie's insistence, Gerald, a Broadway choreographer, attempts to lead the group in an elaborate dance routine. Later, drunk on red wine and Pal's signature drink (the North Fork Fizz), Marnie and Hannah have a heart-to-heart over their long-simmering feud. Marnie reveals, &quot;I am okay. I may not seem okay and I might not be okay, but I am, like, okay.&quot;</p><p>That night, everyone, once again save for Marnie, goes skinny dipping in the pool. Hannah tells Elijah that she is worried that Pal is condescending and disrespectful of him and encourages Elijah to stick up for himself. Marnie, finished cooking dinner, calls Hannah out of the pool and urges her to send the guys home, so the girls can get their healing back on track. Hannah ignores Marnie's orders and calls everyone in for dinner.</p><p>After a tense meal intended for four but redistributed for eight, the group performs Gerald's dance. Marnie makes a point to criticize Hannah's effort and then explodes at her for inviting the guys to eat with them. &quot;Dinner was supposed to be our time for honesty. But then you invited the cast of ‘Magic Mike'!&quot; Shoshanna, sick of hearing about dinner, tears into each of the girls for treating her &quot;like a f*cking cab driver&quot; and calls them &quot;a bunch of f*cking whiny nothings.&quot; A bitterly honest, rawly emotional fight ensues before the girls storm off to their respective bedrooms.</p><p>Elijah tries to talk to Pal about his misgivings with his attitude towards him, but Pal blows him off after learning that Hannah - &quot;the most ridiculous girl he's ever met&quot; - is behind the confrontation. Scrambling, Elijah declares that he's in love with Pal, but Pal does not return the sentiment. Elijah plays it off as a joke and then kindly offers to fellate Pal.</p><p>The next morning, Hannah, Marnie, Jessa, and Shoshanna wake up and silently clean the house together. Later, as the girls sit in silence waiting for the bus home, Hannah begins halfheartedly going through the motions of their choreographed dance as each of her friends slowly joins in.</p></div>

Incidentals

She gets a call from Adam, who is waiting to be called in for his callback audition for the Broadway revival of ‘Major Barbara.' He hangs up when another actor warns him that the casting director has an aversion to cell phones in the waiting room. The man introduces himself as Desi and he and Adam share a quiet moment of male bonding. Back at the restaurant, Hannah is dismayed to learn that Patti LuPone has stood her up.</p><p>As Adam finishes up his audition and heads out, the casting director calls him back in and congratulates him on landing the part of Bronterre. Ecstatic, he exits and runs into Desi downstairs, who reveals that he has been cast as Bill Walker before offering to take Adam back to Greenpoint on his motorcycle.</p><p>Hannah is able to track down Patti LuPone at a theater where she is rehearsing a one-woman show. Patti reluctantly agrees to give Hannah five minutes for her interview. Her healthy bones leave her with little to say in regard to the benefits of Strenova, but Hannah helps coach her along. Hannah interrupts the interview when she takes another call from Adam, who fills her in on his good news, which Hannah excitedly shares with Patti. &quot;Wow, his first Broadway role,&quot; Patti says. &quot;He's going to need you to support him and forgive him, because he's going to be an asshole.&quot; Patti goes into detail explaining how the Broadway stage will change Adam. &quot;Your boyfriend, if he's sexual in any way, is going to start f*cking <i>everybody</i> in the building.&quot;</p><p>While treating herself to some frozen yogurt, Marnie bumps into her artist ex-boyfriend Booth Jonathan's former assistant, Soo Jin. They exchange pleasantries and Soo Jin reveals that she's in the process of opening her own gallery - in NoHo and not, as a seething Marnie suspected, Bushwick. As Soo Jin walks off, Marnie traps her in a historically awful hug and tells her that she's proud of her.</p><p>Though she is shaken by Patti's warnings, Hannah enjoys a successful afternoon at <i>GQ</i>. Her boss Janice asks her to spend the night at the Gramercy Park Hotel for a piece she'll be writing. She also receives her first paycheck and is thrilled to be making the kind of money that will allow her to &quot;walk into a store in the Meatpacking District and just be like, ‘Make it rain.'&quot;</p><p>Jessa spends another tedious afternoon working at Sweet Emma, playing with mannequins, eating snacks, and attempting to engage in chit-chat with a courier. Her ennui is interrupted by the sudden arrival of Jasper, her old rehab pal, who has tracked her down with help from Shoshanna. &quot;I threw little stones at your window until some teeny-tiny little moppet opened up, looked out, and said, ‘Are you here to rape me?'&quot; Jessa resists Jasper's pleas to run away with him, insisting that she was wearing &quot;rehab goggles&quot; when they met and that she was never attracted to him.</p><p>On assignment at the Gramercy Park Hotel, Hannah and Elijah prepare a surprise celebration for Adam. Hannah takes exception to Elijah's pronouncement that Adam is the first of them to fulfill his dream. Shoshanna arrives and fails to assuage Hannah's concerns when she asks if Hannah is worried that Adam might leave her for Sutton Foster.</p><p>World-weary Marnie drops by Ray's apartment with pizza. &quot;I'm in a shitty mood,&quot; she warns. As she makes herself comfortable, Ray breaks the news that he doesn't want to continue their relationship -- he wants a real girlfriend. Incredulous, Marnie tells him, &quot;You can't break up with me, Ray. I don't care about this. I wouldn't be eating pizza in front of you if I actually liked you!&quot;</p><p>Adam finally arrives at the Gramercy, with Desi in tow. The gang offers their congratulations to both. Elijah and Shoshanna recognize Desi from his stint on ‘One Tree Hill' and are immediately enchanted by him. Marnie arrives with her pizza and heads straight for the bathroom. Hannah follows her and tries to get to the bottom of what's troubling her, but Marnie can't say. Her spirits are soon lifted after she emerges to find Desi performing &quot;Roll On, John&quot; on his guitar. She joins in, prompting Desi to ask if he can hear more of Marnie's music. His attention provides her a moment of happiness, though her joy is snuffed out when Desi mentions his girlfriend Clementine is making paella for dinner.</p><p>Jessa and Jasper, high on cocaine and life itself, arrive at the hotel, but quickly leave to go buy more drugs. They head to Sweet Emma where Jessa breaks into the shoebox where cash is stored. They head to a hotel room of their own to prolong their night of revelry, though Jessa continues to resist Jasper's sexual advances.</p><p>Back at the Gramercy, Adam and Hannah take a bath together. Hannah tells him how proud she is of him but admits she's scared. &quot;I don't want you to get so happy doing the play,&quot; she says, &quot;that you don't like our life together anymore.&quot; Adam assures her that everything will be okay, and prompted by Hannah, delivers some of his lines in his period-appropriate accent.</p></div>

Hannah's aunts implore her to take her mother to grab some lunch.</p><p>At lunch, Loreen admits that her relationship with Flo was often strained and that she is saddened that they may never get the opportunity to resolve their issues. In an effort to bring a smile to Flo's face before she passes away, Loreen asks Hannah for a favor - tell Flo that she and Adam are engaged. Hannah is outraged by the request. &quot;I really thought you were more progressive than that.&quot; &quot;No, I'm not,&quot; Loreen replies.</p><p>Hannah, her mother, and her aunts head over to Flo's house, where Hannah's humorless med student cousin Rebecca waits. Rebecca rebuffs Hannah's efforts to remain polite and appear interested in her life, adopting an attitude of superiority before inviting Hannah to grab a drink that evening.</p><p>Hannah calls Adam at rehearsal to tell him about her mother's request. The conversation quickly turns awkward when Adam simply replies that he's very committed to Hannah &quot;at this time.&quot; Though Hannah insists that she is equally uninterested in any discussion of marriage, she tells Adam that the conversation is making her stressed and angry for reasons she doesn't quite understand.</p><p>Hannah meets up with Rebecca for drinks, though Rebecca shares that she doesn't drink on weeknights and only suggested they meet at a bar because she felt it &quot;was the right place to go&quot; with a person like Hannah. Rebecca then launches into a passive-aggressive tirade about what awful people writers are until Hannah can take no more. They trade jabs, questioning each other's respective senses of humor, before Rebecca reveals that their grandmother once referred to Hannah as &quot;loose.&quot;</p><p>While driving back to the hospital, Rebecca answers a text from her mother. She ignores Hannah's pleas to focus on the road and crashes into a parked car.</p><p>Adam, having borrowed Desi's motorcycle, rushes to the emergency room to find Hannah with a few stitches on her forehead and Rebecca in a neck brace. &quot;Don't only text me ‘car crash'&quot; an exasperated Adam shouts at a largely unharmed Hannah. Loreen and her sisters arrive and upon realizing that the girls are okay, share the news that Flo has taken a turn for the worse. Sissy announces that their mother requested not to be put on life support, and a loud argument erupts amongst the three sisters as years' worth of repressed grudges rise to the surface. Hannah takes Rebecca's hand in solidarity.</p><p>Hannah brings Adam to meet Flo, where he reluctantly fulfills Loreen's request and announces his and Hannah's impending nuptials. Flo offers Hannah her advice on marriage: &quot;Someday you will look at him, hating him with every fiber of your being, wishing he would die the most violent death possible. It will pass.&quot;</p><p>Loreen thanks Adam and Hannah for the gesture, and Adam heads back to the city. &quot;I guess if Grandma lives, we're gonna have to get married,&quot; Hannah jokes to her mother. They share a laugh, but Loreen tells Hannah she should &quot;keep the job, not the guy,&quot; and &quot;stay open to possibilities.&quot; Hannah balks and refuses to listen to her mother's warning that &quot;it's not easy being married to an odd man.&quot;</p><p>After spending the night at the hospital, the family visits with Flo, who has beaten her pneumonia and is back to looking like her old, healthy self. On their way out of the hospital the sisters quietly reconcile and agree to make an effort to be closer to one another. Having arrived back in the city, Hannah walks outside Grand Central Station when she gets a call from Rebecca. Flo suddenly passed away after everyone had left, and Hannah needs to turn around immediately.</p></div>

In the morning, Hannah wakes up alone in Joe's bed, dressed in his pajamas.</p><p>Marnie meets with Soo Jin at her new gallery to discuss job opportunities.

Thinking she might be in line for a position with a little more cache, Marnie is initially reluctant to consider the offer, though she eventually accepts.</p><p> Hannah bursts into her apartment and apologizes to Adam for her disappearance the previous night. Adam, caught up in the excitement of his upcoming Broadway debut, barely noticed Hannah's absence. He shows off the coat he'll be wearing onstage in ‘Major Barbara,' a garment that he plans to wear around the house as he does &quot;stuff he normally does&quot; like organizing his newspapers, eating muffins, and going to the bathroom.</p><p>After a shower, Hannah joins Adam on the couch and straddles him. Adam puts a stop to any funny business, insisting that he doesn't want to get &quot;sticky before rehearsal.&quot; Hannah is incredulous but tries to mask her disappointment. She promises to go watch him at rehearsal that afternoon.</p><p>Marnie spends the afternoon at Desi's, working on their music. He aims to inspire her and encourages her to believe in herself. He starts to sing a romantic song of his own, and Marnie is disappointed when he explains the song is about his girlfriend Clementine.</p><p>Hannah attends ‘Major Barbara' rehearsal but is quickly expelled from the theater by the director, who has little tolerance for visitors. She is further humiliated when Adam does little to prevent the ejection. Back at home, Hannah shares some burritos with Elijah and complains about Adam's recent change in behavior: &quot;He treats me like an ottoman with a vagina.&quot; She tells Elijah she needs to do something to remind Adam why they love each other. Later, when Adam calls during a break, Hannah tells him to meet her at a bar after rehearsal and then leaves a message for Marnie, asking to borrow her apartment.</p><p>Concerned over her cousin's recent relapse, Shoshanna lures Jessa and Jasper to lunch, promising the pair of intoxicated Brits some free steaks. Unbeknownst to them, however, Shoshanna has invited along Jasper's estranged daughter, Dottie.</p><p>Disguised in a platinum blonde wig, Hannah waits for Adam at the bar she frequented with her coworkers the night before. She approaches him with a &quot;vodka&quot; (really an ice water) intended for her &quot;workaholic husband,&quot; who has stood her up once again. Confused at first, Adam slowly catches on to Hannah's game.</p><p>Dottie confronts Jasper, upset at him for not contacting her since he's been in New York. She explains to Jessa how wonderful he is when he's sober and how she wants him back in her life. Sensing that Jasper is slipping away from her, Jessa tears into Shoshanna for arranging the intervention. As Dottie prepares to leave, she makes one final plea to her father to get rid of Jessa and to let her help with his recovery. Moved by his Dottie's efforts, Jasper accepts, and the reunited father and daughter walk off together.</p><p>Hannah takes Adam to Marnie's apartment, where they continue their role-playing scenario. He poses as a violent stranger who has forced his way into this older married woman's apartment.</p><p>After they begin to have sex, Hannah switches roles and becomes Kim, a high school cheerleader, accustomed to f*cking football players, but now slumming it with &quot;the school weirdo.&quot; Uncomfortable with the whole situation, Adam pulls out abruptly. Startled by his reaction, Hannah explains she was just trying to have sex &quot;the way they used to.&quot; Adam reveals that rough sex with strangers used to help keep him from drinking, but once he fell in love with Hannah, he no longer felt compelled to behave that way. He tells her he needs to start concentrating his focus more on the play and that he plans to stay with Ray until the show opens.</p></div>

Sit-In

<div class='episode-body-left-aligned' style='text-align: left'><p><b>Written by</b> Paul Simms &amp; Max Brockman<br><b>Directed by</b> Richard Shepard<br><br>Stunned that Adam has found a new girlfriend, Hannah stands in her unrecognizable apartment nearly speechless. Mimi-Rose leaves to buy a cold-pressed juice so that Hannah and Adam can talk in private. Adam insists he didn't break any rules by dating someone else, except, as Hannah points out, the rule of "common human decency." When she asks about her belongings, Adam explains that he's been paying for a storage unit in Fort Greene. "Well thank you, Mr. Rockefeller," Hannah spits. "Another grand romantic gesture from the last of the red-hot lovers." She excuses herself to "rest," locking herself inside her old bedroom.<br><br>Adam scrambles to round up Hannah's friends in an attempt to calm the situation. Shoshanna arrives and notices a large tapestry hanging on the wall of Hannah's bedroom. Hannah angrily pulls it down, only to discover the wall to the second bedroom has been knocked out, converting the rooms into the "master suite" she and Adam had once discussed making with their "bare hands." Shoshanna insists they find out everything they can about Mimi-Rose. They discover a video of Mimi-Rose giving the keynote address for a visiting artists' lecture. Reconsidering her advice, Shoshanna orders Hannah to stop watching the video and go with her back to her apartment, but a heartbroken Hannah decides to hide under the covers instead.<br><br>Jessa arrives and asks why Hannah isn't "in Idaho." She reveals she knew about Mimi-Rose. Jessa swears she told Hannah about her, and it becomes apparent that she is the one who set up Mimi-Rose and Adam. "What were we supposed to do?" Jessa asks, confused by Hannah's anger. "Sit around flicking our clits until you got back?" Hannah punches Jessa in the arm; Jessa responds by hitting Hannah upside the head. "You're a f**king bitch," Hannah tells her, before diving back under her blanket. <br><br>That night, Hannah leaves Marnie another message threatening that this will be the last call of their friendship because Marnie hasn't been there for her "in what could constitute the worst moment" in her entire life. With trepidation, Hannah peeks out into the living room to find Caroline and Laird on the couch; Adam and Mimi-Rose traded apartments with them for the night. Caroline admits that while Adam is very happy with his new girlfriend, it may not last. "He's really at his best when he's nurturing the poor, the lost, the profoundly damaged," Caroline explains. "Which is why you were so perfect for him."<br><br>Hannah wakes the next morning to find Ray in the apartment preparing breakfast. He tries to comfort her but is clearly distracted by his ongoing neighborhood noise pollution problem. Hannah tries to flip the bacon for him, but winds up with a bad burn on her hand. While Ray dresses her wound in Adam's "workshop," Hannah asks if Ray's anger is really about Marnie's relationship with Desi, but he brushes her off. "I was her whore, her f-buddy," Ray says. "I'm not the type of person she's going to end up with. I get that."<br><br>Alone again, Hannah watches Mimi-Rose's keynote address. Marnie arrives -- with food -- and sincerely apologizes for not answering her phone. Still mad, Hannah runs into the bathroom and fakes a shower in order to avoid Marnie and continue her Mimi-Rose research.<br><br>Unconvinced by Hannah's charade, Marnie reminds Hannah that she left Adam and needs to let him go. "If you don't give him the space to at least see where this goes, he's going to hate you forever, and you'll hate yourself."<br><br>That night, Adam returns as Hannah prepares to leave. He takes note of Ray's bandage handiwork and insists on re-doing it, grumbling, "Guy fancies himself some kind of Renaissance man but he doesn't know jack shit about f**k." They have a heartfelt conversation about what's happened between them, and Adam admits he was relieved when she left. "Did you think it was working between us?" he asks. He acknowledges that there was a time when he couldn't imagine himself with anyone else, but that time has passed. Adam says it makes more sense for her to stay in her apartment, but he'll need a few days to move out. They say their goodbyes and Hannah treks to her storage unit and finds her old furniture. She lays down on her couch to rest.</p></div>

Marnie suggests they open their two-song showcase with the track, but Desi is hesitant to give half of their set to a "syrupy love song."

Her therapist latches onto the idea, insisting that Hannah is someone who enjoys helping people.<br><br>Adam pushes Mimi-Rose for details about the abortion. She reminds him that they've known each other less than seven weeks, though Adam insists that "crazier things have happened." Drily, Mimi-Rose asks him, "So we should have the baby and put it in your toolbox as a cradle and feed it sardines and tell it that you don't know my middle name?" Unwilling to accept her reasoning, Adam tells Mimi-Rose that what she did was "evil." She storms out of the apartment.<br><br>Elijah and the girls have lunch together, where he expounds on his return to New York. "I had just gone as far as I could go in Iowa," Elijah says. "I was practically running that JC Penney, I was dating the guy who's the frontrunner in the mayoral race, I'd just put a bid in on 16 acres, but I thought, I don't know, I just feel empty, so I might as well come back here to be with you losers." Hannah announces that she's decided to get a job helping people, prompting skepticism from her friends, who feel Hannah is the most selfish person they know. Elijah rattles off possible, ludicrous career paths -- among them "schoolmarm." Despite Elijah's intentions, Hannah begins to consider teaching as a career path. <br><br>When the community board moves to adjourn early, Ray objects. He goes on a tirade against the inefficient system, prompting the council members to argue amongst themselves. The next day, Ray begins his campaign to become a community board chairperson.<br><br>That evening, Adam rushes to pack up his things. Mimi-Rose catches him on his way out and they talk through their issues. Adam is upset that Mimi-Rose doesn't need him and questions his role in her life.

You're just tricking people and confusing them, and I think you know it's bullshit, and I think maybe you should just admit it.&quot; Stunned by Hannah's bluntness, Mimi-Rose admits that she's afraid that the way Hannah sees her is how everyone sees her. &quot;I just want to make something that says something and I don't even know why anymore.&quot;<br><br>Hannah softens and admits to Mimi-Rose that she left Iowa because she couldn't make it as an artist. &quot;Now I'm going to have a boring life like my mother's, be dissatisfied and normal,&quot; Hannah tells her. &quot;Do you think I want to be normal?&quot; Mimi-Rose suggests they go to the bar and &quot;start drinking heavily.&quot; She takes Hannah's hand and they head to the after-party.<br><br>At the bar, Adam tells Jessa what Ace said to him in the car.
