Season six of Girls gets sadder and in doing so pulls off a solid episode.
Though Painful Evacuation is named after Hannahs recurrent UTI, the episode is more focused on everybody else.
The episode highlights Rays existential crisis by pulling an unsubtle but regardless well-executed plot maneuver.
Furthermore, if youve been withGirlsfor the long haul, Hermies death has been a long time coming.
Marnie also gets a weird scene with Desi, whos going through rehab.
The bombshell is that Hannah is preggers by way of Riz Ahmeds surfer bro character from the season premiere.
There isnt much to this plot yet, but Im good with this.
So Im gladGirlsis throwing a wrench (read: a baby) into the Hannah works.
Together theyre such over-the-top cartoon people and the show is more ridiculous anytime theyre onscreen.
Its especially notable in a sadder, more grounded episode like this one.
Also, Adams long hair looks awful.
Oh, and Tracey Ullman is in the episodes cold open.
Anyway, hi Tracey!
