Season 5 of Girls has come to an end…Hannah finally goes back to her roots of doing something that she used to love…Marnie asks Ray something regarding her job…Shosh finds something she is good at, and is the Jessa & Adam relationship already doomed before it really begins? Let’s jump right in with the season finale.
We start off with Hannah (Lena Dunham) and she’s running and seems to be in a better place since we last saw her a few episodes back. Her parents Tad and Loreen (Peter Scolari & Becky Ann Baker) are waiting outside her place as Hannah is running she pretends like she can’t see them, but they call to her because they want to spend time with her and were worried she hadn’t answered any their phone calls.
Marnie (Allison Williams) and Ray (Alex Karpovsky) are in bed…and she seems really happy, she tells Ray that she wants him to support her professionally with her music thing she has with Desi. Marnie asks him to come on tour with her and he agrees. Speaking of Ray…we are at his newly remodeled coffee place with Shosh (Zosia Mamet) and Hermie (Colin Quinn) and they have all these signs around that are anti-hipster. Shosh is super happy about doing this, but Hermie tells her that she needs to take it down a notch…because we all know how she gets when she focuses on something.
Jessa (Jemima Kirke) is feeding Sample (seriously Laird & Caroline) and Adam (Adam Driver) tells her she is feeding his niece too much and takes over…Jessa feels the need to bring up Hannah again into the conversation saying how Hannah is so good with babies that he should call her…Adam gets annoyed and tells her to not share these things with him…but she keeps going.
Back at Hannah’s apartment…she mentions to her parents that she is doing The Moth tonight, which is an open mic night for storytelling. Tad and Loreen get excited with the news and decide they need to take her shopping for new clothes. Tad is alone and hears Elijah knocking and yelling at Hannah to open the door…Tad opens the door and Elijah (Andrew Rannells) just looks like a complete mess…he vents to Tad and tells him that he just wants to be happy and that he feels like giving up and Tad tells him that he feels like he is just starting his life.
Adam is weary of giving Sample back to Laird (Jon Glaser) because he’s there to pick her up…he hands the baby to him and leaves thanking Adam for taking care of Sample…while he was gone. Jessa is relieved that it’s just the two of them now and can go back to doing stuff. Again Jessa mentions Hannah to Adam and he’s had it and tells her that he’s getting tired of it. Jessa tells him that her friendship with Hannah will always come first and that he ruined that and will never forgive him for that…Adam breaks a lamp near him and gets extremely mad and starts breaking stuff…and Jessa also gets angry and a huge fight ensues.
Desi (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) is talking to some groupies and one of them is telling him how she runs a site about him as Marnie and Ray arrive telling Desi that Ray is gonna join them on this tour. We find out that Tandance isn’t going to join them, because her father died. Ray is hoping that things can change between him and Desi by being cordial to each other.
We go back to Jessa and Adam, who are still fighting intensely with each other…he tells her that he is not going to let Hannah break them apart. He apologizes for acting this way when she locks herself in the bathroom, and she yells at him that he is acting over the top.
Hannah, Loreen, and Elijah are in line to get in to The Moth, when they finally get in…Elijah cuts to the front of the line to write down Hannah’s name twice…we find out the theme of tonight’s storytelling is jealousy…we see different people being picked and finally it’s Hannah’s turn…she mentions to the crowd that this a classic tale of jealousy and begins telling the story of how her ex-boyfriend is now screwing her best friend. She continues telling everyone how she was calm when she found out and wasn’t angry, but sad…and how she needed an end to her story…a real end and how 20 minutes before coming to The Moth that she left a very nice fruit basket at Adam’s front door that say, “Good luck, I mean it sincerely in perpetuity…Hannah” and tells everyone that she can only control the mayhem around her and how she heard them screaming and that she knew she was free and thanks the audience.
Montage time with our characters…Shosh and Hermie are dancing and she looks really happy…finally Shosh has found something that makes her happy. Ray and Marnie are calling Desi to open the door and the young girl that runs a site for him is going down on him (Desi you are garbage). Tad is knocking at the door of the man he met early on this season and both smile at each other. Elijah and Loreen are drinking away and venting about their problems and Elijah jokes that he is three drinks away from having sex with her and Loreen retorts back that she does attract that type of men. Jessa and Adam are on the floor after having hate sex in the aftermath of their destruction of his place as we see Hannah’s fruit basket outside his door. Hannah is walking alone and she starts running with a smile on her face and that’s a wrap on season 5.
