Girls Season 4 Episode 4 Recap
Girls recap: Season 6, Episode 5. Having a baby probably isn’t the best idea Hannah’s ever had.
So, of course, she’s probably going to do it. Sure, she starts off the episode making a list titled “REASONS IT’S INSANE TO HAVE A BABY” that includes points both important — “I WILL MAKE LESS THAN $2. K THIS YEAR” — and trivial (“I AM BAD AT SPORTS” is a highlight), hinting that she’s still deciding. But by the time her mom arrives, she seems like she’s made up her mind.“Do you think it’s so insane if I keep it?” she asks Loreen before explaining that she’s thought long and hard about what that would mean for her.
Oh dear. Her mom also had two weed gummy worms on the cab ride over to Hannah’s apartment that have probably fully set in by this point, which would explain her extreme chillness about finding out that her daughter is expecting. The two then go to to the laundromat, where Loreen eats even more weed gummy worms, claiming they’re faulty. No one ever told Loreen it takes edibles some time to kick in, apparently, so she keeps eating and eating. Hannah puts on her optimistic daughter face, encouraging her mom that she could still meet someone.
The upside of Girls’ gorgeous, striking, often elegiac stand-alone episodes, like last week’s “American Bitch,” is that they’ve become central to the series. It was all about Niecy (Raven Goodwin) this week on Being Mary Jane. All the problems we saw bubbling up came to a head last night as the niece of Mary Jane Paul. As we reach the halfway point in Season 2 of The Missing, many of the dots seemed to be finally connecting. But then came Sunday night’s episode, “Statice.
Loreen doesn’t want to hear it and storms off with half her daughter’s clean laundry back to the apartment. Except she doesn’t go back to the apartment. She runs away. Once Hannah realizes her mom isn’t just taking a stoned bath in her walk- up, she enlists Elijah — also high, but on Adderall — to track her down.
Together, the yell “Loreen!” in the streets and eventually stop in a dumpling joint, where they inaccurately and hilariously describe their moving target as being a “rocker chick.” Their rocker chick sadly isn’t there (though Hannah does request a single dumpling for the road, so at least something good comes out of it). They soon find her eating alone in a different restaurant, and she’s, predictably, super, super blazed. Loreen probably would have done what she does next even without the gummies, though: She toasts to Hannah and her new baby right in front of Elijah, who has no idea his roommate is with child. After the initial shock wears off, he storms into the restaurant’s kitchen — a great place to pout.
Hannah joins him, and soon, he’s telling her it’s a terrible idea. He feels betrayed that she would bring a baby into their “specific, special bond,” and she is all like, “But I want you to help me raise it!” Then he tells her she’s going to be a terrible mother in a last- ditch attempt to change her mind. Meanwhile, the cooks are just going about their business without paying any mind to the two. Give this restaurant all the five- star Yelp reviews.
Although Loreen isn’t flat- out telling Hannah it’s a bad idea, she also has some reservations she reveals after Elijah leaves. Then she pukes on herself.

This is all actually a great trial run for Hannah, who is literally having to mother her own mother and see what it’s like to take care of someone else for a day. And you know what? She does a pretty fine job of it — she just doesn’t seem to like it so much: She gets home and, because she’s avoiding going upstairs and confronting Elijah, confesses to a woman sitting on the stoop that she had a bad day.
Oh, and this woman? It’s the actress playing Past Hannah in Adam and Jessa’s movie. And here she is, revealing that she herself has three children and that “kids are super easy.” “It’s being an adult that’s hard,” she says.
Fake Hannah, so wise. NEXT: Ray and Marnie might (finally!) be over.
