"\n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\n\n\nThe third episode of the this season of HBO's Girls begis with that classic calm before the storm. Hannah cuts Adam's hair, and they seem to be, wait, getting along? There's clearly a tornado coming.Ah, there she is: Adam's now-homeless sister Caroline (and apparently the victim of physical abuse, although after meeting her for six seconds, we get the sense she just might know her way around a lie). Fun little nugget: Caroline has some Kevorkianesque tendencies toward members of her family. Naturally, Hannah just needs her to be a guest at her 25th birthday party that night.Turns out this party was a scheme cooked up by Hannah's parents (grudgingly paying for everything) and Marnie (taking all the credit, and dishing out some choice shade at Hannah: \"I keep telling her, she could look like this every night if she wanted!\").Hannah then takes a lap around the party, allowing her to bask in the people she has in her life.Her boyfriend dances like a giant umbrella, and his attempt at a gift came from rooting through a box of family teeth. Somehow, this is endearing.Her \"best friend\" Marnie makes great strides each week in her training to win Worst Person in Sochi next month. This episode's adventure features an embarrassing post on Youtube, which may just be the cringiest dreamscape sitcom music video since David Brent: Hannah's most interesting \"friend,\" Jessa, manipulated her friends into taking an unnecessary two-day trip to get a free trip from rehab. Somehow, her only punishment is not getting any lines of dialogue this week.\n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\nOh, and Hannah completely snubbed Councilman Jamm (aka Hacky Sack Laird), when all he wanted was to give Hannah a gift (that, sure, might also have been his tooth on a string), while reveling in the horribly embarrassing '90s Broadway duet that Marnie coerces Hannah into singing.Meanwhile, in the other room, because this bar quite conveniently has two entirely soundproof sections, Barista Ray has decided to go to a party where he knew he would run into his ex-girlfriend/leather tube top wearer Shoshanna, yet looks entirely shocked upon seeing her. Their encounter provided us with some of the most effective, grounded realism in the episode: \"I don't want to be polite with you, I don't want to have small talk with you, I just don't.\"However, this plotline was tragically undermined by Ray's disproportionate rage over his song request being changed, leading to a \"things shouldn't stop in the middle! Give me my Emmy Award!\" rant, which loosely applied to the song, but primarily applied to his love life. Eye roll. Real-life Ray would not have started screaming in public; he would have simply left the party and texted Shoshanna at 3 a.m. that he doesn't think about her anymore.\n\nBut plucky Hannah stays buoyant throughout the night. This season, it's all about, \"I've got a book deal, so everything is great!\" Plus, her editor, in an attempt to re-capture the 80s, shows up uninvited, and immediately begins cruising for a Park Slope sexcapade on Grindr. Having friends is great, you guys.After all the evening's festivities, Hannah and Adam, once again, are left alone to share a private moment of happiness. Oh wait, there's Hurricane Caroline again, letting her ample pubic mane air out as she waits for her landlords to come home so they can bear witness to a ritualistic blood-letting.All is back in order, because for Hannah, disorder is the only order she will ever find.For more recaps of Girls, click here.Follow David on Twitter.Photo Credit: HBO."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
