Girls Finale: Hannah Ends the Season By Cutting Her Own Bangs

Say goodbye to season 2, folks—last night the season finale of Girls aired on HBO. There were highs, there were lows... there were mostly lows. Hannah spent the entire episode in her apartment wearing that same Birkenstock tee shirt from last episode without pants, eating Cool Whip, freaking out, missing deadlines, and giving herself bangs. Insult to injury: She was rejected by both her dad and by her neighbor.

Meanwhile, Marnie and Charlie are back together. Shoshana and Ray are dunzo. Jessa is off somewhere wearing crop tops, maybe. And, at the very end, shirtless Adam came to pantless Hannah's rescue. Who says romance is dead?


The bunny-eared iPhone case: a questionable choice for anyone over the age of six.


In Marnie's sex scene she's wearing a bird-printed Marc by Marc Jacobs dress from last spring.


In Shoshana's sex scene she's wearing a hoodie zipped to the neck.


This is Ray's boss, regarding Shoshana: "Is this the same girlfriend that carries that purse that's shaped like a croissant?" Ray, with surprising accessory vocabulary responds that "it's a clutch bag." Either way, boss-man is right, Shosh doesn't want a latte-maker or a Latin scholar, she wants someone who gets paid "so she can keep buying purses shaped like bread products."


The classic Cool Whip/Fashion Mag combo.


Girls is so on emerald—Pantone's 2013 color of the year. Everything in every scene shot inside and outside Roberta's, Brooklyn's most incessantly written about restaurant, is emerald. Down to Marnie's jewelry and a can of Sprite.


Oh dear.


Not one to be outdone, Shosh raises Marnie's birds with butterflies (and braids). Here, Shosh and Ray break up—"there is nobody else! Especially not an adult male blond! You know me better than that!" And, "You hate everything ? You hate people who wear sunglasses, like even during the day, you hate going to dinner which you know I love, you hate colors, you hate pillows, you hate ribbons, you hate everything! I can't be the only thing you like."


Leaving Jessa a message: "And now you're off somewhere, just livin' it up, wearing a crop top, you probably got your vagina pierced and you're not answering your phone!"


Maybe Adam and Hannah are meant to be together. She has no qualms with leaving the house sans pants; and here he is running down the street without a shirt.

Episode takeaway: This episode basically starred iPhone—Hannah spent the basically the whole 30 minutes on hers and even commented on Adam finally joining civilization and getting one (before he sprinted to her apartment whilst on FaceTime). Apple wins.
