Girls Season 3, Ep. 8: Incidentals

Girls Season 3 Episode 8

Hannah is waiting at a bistro for Patti LuPone so that she can conduct an interview. Adam calls her from his callback and he’s super duper nervous. He gets off the phone and meets another actor who looks very much like him, but who is reading for a different part in the Broadway show. Aww, Patti LuPone cancels the interview.

Girls Season 3, Ep. 6: Free Snacks

Girls Season 3 Episode 6

Hannah is working in the coffee shop, screwing up orders and quitting her job. Someone saw something that she wrote and gave her a staff writing gig at GQ magazine. Ray knows that nobody would ever hire her to write a real article, so it must be an advertorial. Which it is, because it’s sponsored by Neiman Marcus. Also, newsflash! Writing one (sponsored) article per issue does not pay the bills such that a person who is a writer anywhere other than the television can quit their day job. Or their second day job. And it definitely does not get you a cubicle in an office at a magazine. In reality, it’s a freelance writing gig and it pays reasonably well, if you bang out enough of them per month. But whatever.

Episode 7: “Move Out Or Move On”

The ladies flip through hundreds of photos of themselves, like a giant mirrored funhouse.
