In the fourth season premiere: After a congratulatory dinner with her parents, Hannah and Adam pack up the last of her boxes and discuss "the plan" for their soon-to-be long-distance relationship.
Marnie and Desi perform as part of a jazz brunch for a distracted crowd at a downtown restaurant. Shoshanna signs for her diploma with her parents, who make a bigger deal out of the event than she thinks necessary.
Jessa is confronted by Beedie's daughter, Rickie (Natasha Lyonne), and later seems nonplussed by Hannah's impending departure.
