Girls Livestream: Season 6, Episode 5 – 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.
The season six episodes of Girls have been probably the most intense of the show. We saw Marnie and Desi get into a violent fight about his pill addiction. Then, we saw Hannah confront a once-beloved writer about his sexual assault allegations. And last week gave us the most shocking storyline Girls has ever had. If you’re reading this article, I’m assuming you watched last week’s episode. But if you haven’t, this is a major spoiler, so click out or scroll down immediately!
Done? You good? Okay.
Here it is: Hannah is pregnant, with the child of Paul-Louis, the surf instructor from “All I Ever Wanted.” What’s more, it appears that she is not planning on getting an abortion. That’s right, the woman who, moments before, obtained a UTI from “wearing wet underwear for a couple of days” is going to be a mother. We think.

How the show will progress with that storyline is a gigantic question that I’m dying to have answered. But HBO’s synopsis of tonight’s episode, called “Gummies,” leaves a lot to be desired on that front.
"Adam (Adam Driver) and Jessa (Jemima Kirke) begin shooting scenes for their film, but she questions his creative direction. In town to visit Hannah (Lena Dunham), her mother, Loreen (Becky Ann Baker), has a hard time accepting the next phase of her life. Marnie (Allison Williams) does a less-than-stellar job of being there for a grieving Ray (Alex Karpovsky)."
Come on, HBO! I mean, I know you can’t spoil the big twist for everyone else, but can’t you give us some idea of what’s going on? It looks like Hannah’s mom is going to disapprove of her carrying on with the pregnancy. And we are right there with you, Loreen. I am interested in Adam and Jessa’s movie as a subplot, but more than anything I’m hoping it’ll shed some light on them as a couple. And Marnie has just been awful lately. My best hope for her is that it will lead to her losing relationships, and then she will make a change. Ideally, anyway.
