In the Girls episode ‘Full Disclosure’, while Desi (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) wants to find a way to get out of the gig for Marnie’s (Allison Williams) mother (Rita Wilson) in New Jersey, pregnant Hannah (Lena Dunham) also wants to get out of watching Adam’s (Adam Driver) film which he says is about “what we went through.” Hannah consults with her father Tad (Peter Scolari) and his new partner Keith who’s concerned that Hannah “doesn’t really know who this guy is or what he wants.”
