"For some reason, what comes to mind for me when I think of last night&amp;#x27;s Girls is a list of idioms longer than one of Jessa&amp;#x27;s caftans. The more things change, the more they stay the same. And You can&amp;#x27;t go home again. And The shoe is on the other foot. See, after weeks of what I&amp;#x27;d consider a lighter, sunnier Girls than seasons one or two, the show finally hearkened back to its DNA with a complex, discomfiting sex scene. (Despite Lena Dunham&amp;#x27;s joke, at the top of her SNL monologue, that &amp;quot;graphic sex scenes are our thing,&amp;quot; this season has been relatively low on them.) And truth be told, last night&amp;#x27;s Hannah-Adam exchange wasn&amp;#x27;t angry or morally iffy enough to rank among the show&amp;#x27;s most controversial bedroom throwdowns. In fact, I would say that as the show&amp;#x27;s sex scenes go, this was one of the funnier ones (granny panties under that strappy garment!). But from the wig to the sidewalk screaming to the harness itself&amp;amp;#8212;which reminded me of something out of The Cell&amp;amp;#8212;it was clearly a scene we&amp;#x27;ll someday see again in &amp;quot;Girls&amp;#x27; most iconic bedroom moments&amp;quot; roundups. We don&amp;#x27;t know what will happen with Adam and Hannah now&amp;amp;#8212;Patti LuPone&amp;#x27;s dark warnings may be coming true. But I was barely thinking about that after last night&amp;#x27;s episode wrapped, because I still hadn&amp;#x27;t figured out what I thought of the role-play sequence itself. I can&amp;#x27;t say I&amp;#x27;ve missed sexual dysfunction in the show this season&amp;amp;#8212;but then again, shouldn&amp;#x27;t a series get some credit for being true to its original self? And in terms of narrative: While some sex scenes on the show are so vivid, the characters themselves almost get lost in them, this particular set of high jinks was very Hannah. Before things got relatively dark in Marnie&amp;#x27;s apartment, I found myself giggling at Hannah&amp;#x27;s detailed characterization of her blond alter ego&amp;amp;#8212;and at her ambiguous accent. But here&amp;#x27;s my question: When the show returns to stuff like this, does it take your relationship with Girls&amp;amp;#8212;and Hannah&amp;amp;#8212;back a step? Does it make you love both more? Or is it the kind of thing you quietly endure because you love other aspects of the series? Three seasons in, the show continues to make headlines for Dunham&amp;#x27;s nudity; the general perception of it in the public is best summed up as &amp;quot;sexually frank.&amp;quot; Still, as a regular, analytical watcher of the show, the sex stuff has never had a major influence on my opinion. It&amp;#x27;s not my cup of tea, but it doesn&amp;#x27;t make me want to throw the baby out with the bathwater either. Oh, cool! We came full circle with the idioms. But really&amp;amp;#8212;what did you think of last night&amp;#x27;s episode? Did it feel vintage Girls to you&amp;amp;#8212;and did you like the Hannah-Adam story line, or hate it? And what did you think of Hannah&amp;#x27;s lingerie?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
