Girls Livestream: Season 6 Episode 2 – Watch Online
By Emily Scott
Girls is back on HBO for its sixth and final season. Here’s what you need to know to watch tonight’s episode online.
Last week’s season premiere of Girls couldn’t have been more soul-healing for me. Finally, after what seemed like forever, the show that helped revolutionize representation of women in TV was back. And catching up with Hannah, Marnie, Shosh, and Jessa felt like seeing old friends. Of course, they are friends who make terrible choices. But friends nonetheless. And we all want the best for our friends!
Last week, though, we saw Hannah get hurt pretty hard. After a long and strenuous back-and-forth with Adam, and the subsequent Jessa/Adam relationship, Hannah seemed to find someone who really cared for her. But then, of course, it was revealed that he has a girlfriend. Marnie is also struggling. She’s dating Ray, but hooking up with Desi, whom she’s divorcing. And we keep reacting the way any good friend would. “I love you, girl. But NO.”

And it looks like we will keep doing that. The TV Guide summary for tonight’s episode, “Hostage Situation,” does not look good for our Girls. It reads: “Hannah goes on a road trip to Poughkeepsie, N.Y., with Marnie and Desi; Andrew accompanies Shoshanna to a networking event for young professionals, where she has an awkward reunion with some former classmates and reevaluates her post-college friendships.”
First, a road trip with Marnie and Desi sounds literally like the ninth circle of hell. Second, why is Marnie still entertaining Desi as a viable partner for anything, including music? Dude needs to be cut off. Hopefully that will happen sometime this season. Shosh’s storyline sounds par for the course. I feel like she’s been growing apart from the other girls for a while now. And honestly, good for her. I kind of hope the series ends with Shoshanna just side-stepping her way out of those toxic relationships and becoming the badass she was meant to be.
Either way, we’ll see what’s in store for the second episode of the 6th season tonight!
