Weeks of unspoken tension finally come to an end for Hannah and Marnie in episode 9. 

Hannah has been living and relying on Marnie for rent and bills for weeks now, and Marnie finally had enough.

In this drama packed episode, the girls attend the book release of one of Hannah’s former college writing classmates Tally Schifrin, who she sees as a talentless writer with the gift of circumstance—her boyfriend committed suicide.

While Marnie and Shoshanna were inspired by the words of the young writer, Hannah remains jealous of Tally’s success.

While at the release, Hannah runs into her former professor, Powell Goldman, who invites her to a reading.  

Realizing her own lack of effort to showcase her work, she ultimately agrees, and talks of nothing else for the remainder of the episode.

Jessa is confronted by her former employer who expresses her anger and concern for Jessa after learning she lead on her husband.

The episode comes to a close when Hannah, embarrassed by her performance at the reading returns home to unload on Marnie, who has heard enough.

The girls erupt in argument and through bitter locution darts flying across the room, ending in a decision find new roommates.

I enjoyed the episode, but as always wish it ran longer. The episodes pack-a-punch, but are relatively short, and spaced a week apart it’s hard to wait for the next one to air.

Episode 10, will air next Sunday the 17^th of June at 10 o’clock on HBO.
