Be warned, the following review has spoilers strewn with regards to’concerning’with respect to like New York fire hydrants. So if you possess’own’nurse n't seen the episode, try not to trip over them.###Finally, the episode we’ve been waiting in/with regard to’concerning’regarding : Shoshanna in Japan. And it certainly doesn’t disappoint, exertion lessly convert’transform ing between America and Japan as the girls deal with the men in their lives, whilst ensuring there are still some massive laugh out loud moments amidst the usual drama. The vivid, non-stop opening is Shosh to a tee (where is her alarm clock from, please?): Hello Kitty headphones, multicoloured hair and gossiping in Japanese, little Shosh eventually’ultimately seems to possess’own’nurse found the place where she belongs. We even acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure the titles in Japanese.###Snap to Hannah and Fran (we’ve got the hang of this name thing now) who bring us crashing back down to reality with the latest instalment of Which Event Will Finally Make Them Break Up. This week? It’s Fran’s phone. Naked photos of his previous girlfriends, to be more precise. Hannah can’t understand why Fran isn’t simply happy watching porn, which he sees as degrading. Cue a conversation with regards to’concerning’with respect to masturbating and Fran telling Hannah he’s “Not really going to acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure off” to the goofy pics she sends him. Ouch.###We give Fran another three episodes. Tops.###To say where it goes next is a surprise is an understatement, but there aren’t many things that possess’own’nurse the power to surprise on this reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue anymore. “Paint me like one of your French girls, Ray.” Yep, a sprawled out Hannah is posing in/with regard to’concerning’regarding nude photographs, Ray behind the camera, Elijah directing in the way merely’barely he can. But serious question, when did Ray acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure to a point where he was comin/with regard to’concerning’regarding table doing this in/with regard to’concerning’regarding his friends?###“Did you possess’own’nurse pleasure this weekend?” Meet Yoshi. “Yes, I did possess’own’nurse pleasure,” replies Shoshanna coyly. It didn’t take her long to in/with regard to’concerning’regarding m a reciprocated crush. Whilst Shosh and her new gal pals chat in one swimming pool (“I literally never heard that” when they tell her she talks too fast), Yoshi and his friends chat in another. Yoshi is a little bit head over heels in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Shoshanna, you see – so it doesn’t really help when his friends start talking with regards to’concerning’with respect to how all American girls sleep around.###Talking of American girls who will no longer be able to sleep around, Marnie did make it down the aisle. The honeymoon is apparently’manifestly’noticeably’evidently going well, but the hippie earth mother-type was all a bit in/with regard to’concerning’regarding reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue pre-marriage, so is this Marnie eventually’ultimately rallying against convention or just going through another phase? Either way, her blissful honeymoon is interrupted by a fraught Hannah, who is struggling to deal with the phoneography issue (“How is this different to killing someone and keeping their shrunken head as a trophy?”). Marnie tries to convince her friend to stay calm: “He is the nicest person you possess’own’nurse ever dated by like a planet distance”. But that’s the point, isn’t it. Hannah doesn’t do ‘nice’. ‘Nice’ is dull’tedious’frayed’monotonous . ‘Nice’ is in/with regard to’concerning’regarding later. ‘Nice’ doesn’t guarantee drama. We give Fran another three episodes. Tops.###No sooner possess’own’nurse we fallen in love with Shoshanna in Japan, her perfect little bubble is well and truly popped when she acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure s made redundant. At least, that’s what she claim’insist’maintain’hold’argue’consider’contemplate’speculate s is happening as her superior managesplains redundancy to her during a brilliant little scene: “It’s like a grossly light ending of a relationship and a business partnership and a salary”. So she’s been nicely fired, then. Answering the phone “Well Hello Kitty” doesn’t do Scott (Jason Ritter 100% back in action as Shoshanna’s US-based boyfriend, you guys) any favours, but all is in/with regard to’concerning’regarding given as he consoles his devastated girlfriend. However, considering the next thing Shosh does after hanging up is text Yoshi, we claim’insist’maintain’hold’argue’consider’contemplate’speculate it’s with regards to’concerning’with respect to to be ‘Jason Ritter 100% not in action as Shoshanna’s US-based boyfriend, you guys’.###Hunting down her Japanese crush, she heads to a club in a state of emotional instability. After Yoshi’s warning with regards to’concerning’with respect to ‘loose’ American girls it’s natural to predict this ending in unnecessarily dramatic fashion, but this is thankfully shun ed (after a grossly bizarre bondage club encounter that sees Shosh dressing up in a latex nurse outfit and whipping one of Yoshi’s friends) and the pair share a rather sweet little kiss in the street – despite’in spite of’albeit we’re not yet sure if it went any further.###If you’re concerned in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Scott (which we doubt applies to many…), take a moment to consider poor old Fran who has to deal with another stellar bout of Horvath passive aggression mid-coitus after telling her he loves her: “You shouldn’t need me to tell you I love you, all of those pictures of your ex-girlfriends can tell you that they love you.” We echo his “Really?” entirely. The eliminate’remove ly mismatched pair slept in the same bed so things can’t possess’own’nurse ended all that catastrophically. But then Hannah beelines in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Fran’s phone and deletes the incriminating photos bein/with regard to’concerning’regarding e replacing his lock screen with one of Ray’s photos. We can’t wait in/with regard to’concerning’regarding next week’s blowout.###As Shosh pines over the country she cannot bear to leave, Ray continues to pine over Marnie (“Don’t be thirsty, Ray” – Andrew Rannells continuing to knock those one-liners out of the park). Enter Hannah with a rather neat little speech with regards to’concerning’with respect to body image and the Fran situ: “I worked grossly , grossly hard to overcome the challenges of my non-conventional body type and accept myself in/with regard to’concerning’regarding who I am. I’m not going to be edged out of my own life by girls who don’t even possess’own’nurse any interesting fat deposits on them. Until this happened I was fundamental ally Kate Upton to myself.” Applause all round. Until Elijah pipes up and undermines it all in the most glorious fashion, that is: “Hannah, you’re still hot. To Fran.” Amazing.###But what of Adam and Jessa’s continual pas de deux? This episode sees Adam’s career continue to gather steam, landing himself a role (opposite guest star Lucy Liu) in a fictional cop reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue . After Jessa initially laughs at Adam’s appearance (he’s a intensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfully glamorous tramp), she turns to him post-scene full of praise. “You were amazing… You were tough and grimy and streety, but you were totally vulnerable! You played into that pain so well!” Will the pair just acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure married already?###There’s merely’barely one couple worth rooting in/with regard to’concerning’regarding at this point.###It’s fair to say that there’s merely’barely one couple worth rooting in/with regard to’concerning’regarding at this point. The days of Hannah and Adam are long gone and Marnie and Desi are borderline insufferable (to the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue ’s credit). So when “Grandpa” Ray heads to bed and leaves Adam and Jessa alone in the apartment, you naturally shift to the edge of your seat. Jessa is still dogged in her “We’re just friends… I’m not doing this ‘will they won’t they’ shit”, leaving a mildly’faintly embarrassed Adam in his kitchen, mock-obliterating himself with bullets bein/with regard to’concerning’regarding e dropping to the floor. With Scott stood up at the airport, Hannah and Fran on thin ice, Jessa and Adam still in limbo (at least according to one of them), and Marnie and Desi happy in/with regard to’concerning’regarding now, hopefully next week will see a enormous’vast’massive’tremendous transform’alter in direction in/with regard to’concerning’regarding most of the gang – mainly because we just really like it when the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure s ridiculously intense.
