5 Things to Remember Before You Watch the Girls Season Premiere

Girls is coming back for its season-three premiere this weekend, but before Hannah and her Brooklyn-ite friends return, you'll want to get caught up on what was going on when we saw everyone last. After all, it's almost been a year, so read on to be refreshed on who was breaking up, making up, and spinning out of control.

Hannah Has a Book Due
HBO

Hannah Has a Book Due

At the end of season two, Hannah's OCD gets the better of her, resulting in a Q-tip injury and an inability to get out of bed. Most worrisome is that she can't write anything, which is problematic, because she has an ebook due and has already been paid for it. The threat of a lawsuit is just one more of Hannah's problems.

Jessa Has Disappeared
HBO

Jessa Has Disappeared

The first half of season two depicts Jessa's short-lived marriage and its breakup, so she's in a pretty forlorn place when she and Hannah visit the wild child's father and family. When Jessa doesn't get the emotional support she needs from her dad, she takes off, leaving Hannah to get back to the city alone and feeling abandoned.

Hannah and Adam Have Reunited

When Hannah can't reach Jessa and doesn't want to talk to Marnie or Shoshanna about her problems, she calls ex-boyfriend Adam, who dramatically (and shirtlessly) runs across Brooklyn to save her. It's kind of romantic that he says, "I was always here," to a scared, relieved Hannah — except that he is still dating Natalia when they reunite. In fact, things are pretty good between Adam and Natalia when he goes running to Hannah — they had been working on getting their sex life back to normal in the wake of that traumatizing encounter they have in the episode before the finale.

Marnie and Charlie Get Back Together . . .

After spending a season apart, Marnie realizes she wants Charlie back. In the finale, after an impassioned postbrunch "what are we?" conversation, they both admit they want to be together, and everything is wrapped up very sweetly. Don't get too attached to the idea of them as a couple, though, because the actor who plays Charlie (Christopher Abbott) left the show after season two, meaning that these two are not destined for happily ever after in season three.

But Ray and Shoshanna Have Broken Up

But Ray and Shoshanna Have Broken Up

Their romance had been a bright spot in season two, but by the end of the season, Shoshanna dumps Ray for being unrelentingly negative and hating everything ("I can't be the only thing you like!"). While we can't help but agree with Shosh, she had been cheating on Ray, too (though he never finds out). They both start season three single.
