To be fair, after her "nobody will work with me [because I'm a total ego-driven cunt]" moment, Acid Betty should have dissolved.

…and I kind of think that they play into the Girls narrative of people learning hard lessons in their twenties. I'd like to say that I didn't have really crap friends and lovers along the way, but no. I've been through the fire, and like either Hannah or Marnie (I know: last week I basically resigned myself to the…
I don't agree with that. I think they're actually somewhat meant for each other, in that, at their cores, they're both pretty awful people.
Oh, agreed. But…again…that's up to the Girls to both realize and state. The moment when Hannah says "You know, you were always a really, really, really shit friend. Hasta" will be a great one.
…and I'd add that what's probably the most damning in this situation is that Jessa knew that she'd be basically risking her friendship with Hannah, and at one point a couple of episodes ago, just decided that she didn't care. Now, Hannah may never get that side of the story (the post ice cream? froyo?) that unfolded…
Oh, absolutely—whatever her motivation, and I suspect that it was 'punish Hannah for leaving.' That was a completely douchebag thing to do.
You have to give the show props here, because they're really trying to tell a nuanced, complex story about relationships here. Jessa kind of broke the Girl Code here, but she's not doing anything WRONG, per se. After all, Hannah and Adam are history, and Hannah has already moved on to Fran. And I think Hannah also…
For some reason, this episode made me think of the beach house fight, where Hannah tells Shosh that she's "unstimulating."
I think it's such a hard hit because it's JESSA. Don't get me wrong, we saw a lighter hit with Mimi Rose, and no doubt, after all this time, if Adam showed up with Random Woman #3, it would be less of a hit. But if one of your "closest" friends gets with an ex you really loved? And doesn't have the guts to tell you…
And that he's hot as fuck
I'm late to the game, but damn you, Girls.
1. Damn you for basically stealing SEVERAL moments from my life:
- the creeping realization that the person you're with is wrong for you.
- the encounter with an ex, which provokes a wild, insane night.
- the realization that you're entirely a mess, despite you…
Also, can we all agree that herion made Charlie hot? Here's to heroin!
I think his addiction also rings true to the thesis of the series (or one of them, anyway,) which is the idea that you're basically on your own as a grown up.
OK, a LOT of this episode gave me "Willow on Magics" flashbacks, but that shot of 'Bad Flash' running-into-dissolving was masterful special effects on a budget. I wish they had a more substantial story to tell here, because that shot being the ending of a story arc involving a character we know and care about would…
The "I Will Survive" lip sync was entirely unacceptable. That's like THE song you HAVE to turn out.
And yet, despite the law, who is the one who now has herpes? You do.
Just so we're clear: I have nothing against sex. I love sex. I have nothing against 'doing whatever it is that gets you off' as long as it's not a child or animal. I am not shaming people for having sex, wanting sex, having one-night stands, orgies, jerking off to leather porn, etc.
No, by my logic, people should understand that the people who they lust after may or may not match up to their moral ideals. And thusly, protect thyself.
And since people have the intelligence and moral centers of fruit flies, the onus is on YOU.
Dear people, lock your fucking phones! That is all.
