Girls Recap: She Looks Sassy

Girls, Episode 3:  "Bad Friend"


There were two major takeaways from last night's episode of Girls.  Don't use coke to go outside of your comfort zone.  Also, don't have sex with a skeevy artist whose first name is Booth.  Marnie learned the second lesson the hard way in one of the funniest, most awkward sex scenes in the show's history, which for Girls is definitely saying something.

The episode started out with Hannah job interviewing.  It wasn't really an interview though, since she basically had the job as long as she wrote about something that took her out of her comfort zone.  I loved the sign on the wall.  The editor told Hannah that she should write an essay about having a threesome.  Hannah wasn't so sure about the three way, but she was all about the cocaine.  She left the office on a mission to find some coke.

She finds Shoshanna, Marnie, and Jessa, having some sort of strange yard sale?  I think Jessa was just handing clothes to people and of course, Marnie was making them pay.  She questions them about where she could score some cocaine.  Marnie suggests the junkie that lives on the bottom floor of their apartment.  Hannah protests that they didn't know whether he was a junkie or not, but Shoshanna confirms that only junkies hang out by the mailboxes.  Shoshanna is surprisingly street smart.

Hannah is able to score some coke from the junkie neighbor, who is now an ex junkie.  Ex Junkie is firmly against Hannah taking coke, but he gets her some.  Luckily, Hannah has Elijah to take coke with.  He apparently is an experienced cokehead.  He even picks her out a get high on coke outfit.  How considerate!!  It is a pair of red daisy dukes and a halter top with fruit on it.  It looked like something Katy Perry would wear to perform on the Grammys.  

Shortly after they snort, Hannah and Elijah are talking about their hopes and dreams.  Elijah is dreaming big, hoping to one day own show dogs, while Hannah just wants to be able to write a check without looking at the carbon copy of the last check she wrote.  Dream big, Ms. Horvath!  They decide to write their dreams in permanent marker on the walls of their apartment, but Hannah writes Elijah's dream instead of her own.

The coked out roomies decide to go to a party where DJ's Andrew and Andrew are spinning.  Hannah ends up switching shirts with a guy she is dancing with.  Hannah ends up wearing a mesh shirt that is basically see through.  The roomies go to the bathroom to do more coke, which ends up being a truth serum.  Elijah ends up confessing about his two pump no cum hook up with Marnie which causes Hannah to spiral out of control.  While all this is happening, they hook back up with Not Junkie and go on a late night trip to a pharmacy.  Where Hannah is still wearing the see through shirt.  Seriously.  Am I that corn pone?  I mean, it can't be cool to go to a pharmacy tits out, even in the big city.

Marnie, Marnie, Marnie.  Seriously.  It is time to make better choices.  You are a pretty girl.  You are a smart girl.  Why are you ending up in these situations?  You are just chilling at your new hostess job.  You are making small talk with the creepy older dudes.  Then, you spy Booth Jonathan, who last season said you would bone and is now saying it again.  You decide to take him up on it, because why wouldn't you want to have sex with a 30-year-old douchebag?  Then you get to his creepy apartment and he locks you in his "art."  A box covered in TV screens that flashes images of babies and pupa while Duncan Sheik's "Barely Breathing" blasts.  Then, while he is having sex with you, he tells you to look at a stuffed dog and tell you what he is thinking?!  Why are you allowing this to happen?!

Eventually, Hannah meets back up with Marnie at Booth's apartment and ticks off the reasons that Marnie is a bad friend.  This is a continuation of the fight they had in season 1 where Marnie accused Hannah of being the bad friend.  Hannah doesn't want an apology, just an acknowledgement that Marnie is the bad friend.  

Hannah ends the night back at her apartment making out, sort of, with Not Junkie whose name is Laird.

What did you think?  Did you miss Adam?  Should Marnie stop with this Booth guy?  Who is the bad friend?  Sound off in the comments.
