Daddy Issues manages to pack a lot of major story movements into one episode.
Here’s our Girls review…
In noting key moments from this episode ofGirls, I was amazed by just how much stuff happens.
We start out the episode seeing Jessa getting what she wanted: sex with Ace.
But it turns out Ace is just using Jessa to get Mimi-Rose Howard back.
Unfortunately, this is the aforementioned plot that doesnt get quite enough time to develop.
But it sure resolves quickly.
Im just saying this scene feels a bit rushed.
I like him bitterly saying, Sure, Ill fry up some sausages!
And the way he makes the decision not to turn to Hannah for comfort is pretty affecting.
Do we get what it is about Marnie that Ray loves so much?
If you ask me, not really!
(I mean, aside from the fact that shes gorgeous, obviously.)
and his speech to her is very nicely bittersweet.
I also like his miscalculated joke to Desi that hell make an honest woman out of the trollop.
Finally, theres Hannah dealing with the new knowledge that her father Tad is gay.
Theres a lot to love about how this storyline is handled here.
Elijah is used well here, too.
Most people are!)
and making her deliberately uncomfortable by forcing her to imagine her dad engaged in Full-on anal!
However, what I love the most about this concept is Hannahs struggle to deal with the news.
She sees herself as the most liberal, progressive person ever.
I love how Daddy Issues ends.
All thats left is to see how all this closes out in the season finale.
