Hannah and Fran disagree about their teaching methods. Marnie fumes over Desi’s decision to launch a major construction project in their studio apartment. Jessa pushes Hannah away over an awkward rice-pudding meetup. Elijah gets closer to Dill Harcourt.

but we will have more privacy,

Okay, well, you know how you always go into the coffee shop to work

Excuse me.

- She did the rips. - He did the rips.

Oh, okay. Well, for someone who likes corrections so much,

What you lookin' at?

Maybe the relationship just lasted for the amount of time it was supposed to.

Adam was actually more sane than Fran.

No, that's exactly what I'm doing to Desi.

Can't I end up alone, but not like Cher?

- Mm-hmm. - Oh.

and some bad things about fame.

I'm sorry, I, um... you know, I just... I thought we were meeting people,

Dill!

Thriving at her new job in Japan, Shoshanna flirts with the boss, but reminds her work friends that she has a “kind of” boyfriend back in America. Hannah makes a shocking discovery on Fran’s phone and struggles with how to react. After viewing Adam’s performance on a TV police procedural, Jessa shares her insights into his character.

You were amazing. You really were. I was subtle but forceful. It was very strong.

But I can't help but feel a little bit excited on a... on a very selfish level.

And we'll just move forward.

Shoshanna, I'm really, really sorry about your job.

It's like you're not really here right now.

your ex-girlfriends can tell you that they love you.

Just when we ask for second opinions, we'll come to you right away, okay?

But we have, like, all the hair accessories.

Mom, let me handle this. Hannah, you have to!

I hate this dress. The straps are longer than the dress.

I mean, you know, never a wedding, but...

You'd be surprised how much she can miss.

Oh, what do you care? You still love her.

And love is about sacrifice and destiny

And I'm not gonna let a couple of fucking little botched marriage attempts
