I enjoyed this bottle episode. Each character's attempt at helping Hannah was really just a full-on reflection of that character's own selfish motivations and issues.

I loved the appearance of Caroline and Laird.

Elijah was missing, but I assume he is now just a full-time resident of Iowa City, right?

I'm so glad someone posted this thread so I could make a joke about how Adam Britta'd his relationship with Hannah.

I have a hard time seeing Gillian Jacobs as anything other than Britta, so I saw the episode as a Community / Girls mash-up, which is weird but interesting.
I am totally incapable of rooting for Hannah over Britta, though, which makes me read the underlying romantic tension differently than my Community-impaired wife. This caused a domestic kerfuffle.
