Marnie is having a tough few months: she broke up with Charlie, fell out with Hannah, got fired from her job and got used by Booth. Marnie’s sense of self has severely dissolved. So much so that she’s with Charlie again, first for some sex and then for some brunch. She gives a speech about endpoints — how they have all these experiences so they can settle down, now they’re behind us. Charlie doesn’t understand what she means and isn’t cool with them being "settled down.” Finally Marnie gets it: "we’re not dating?” Marnie says "I never imagined in a million years that you and I would be having casual sex.” She storms off, but storms back to ask "So you really don’t want to date me? Last chance.” He follows her to ask "what are you doing?” She tells him that this has been the worst year of her life. "I want you, I know I’m a mess but I want you. I want to see you every morning and I want to make you a snack every night. And eventually I want to have your little brown babies and I want to watch you die.” Charlie says that’s all he ever wanted and he loves her. "Maybe I’m an idiot for it but I always have. Everything good I try to do I do because of you and I try and get away but I just keep coming back and that’s because I love you.” *Hug* Marnie throws in there that she doesn’t love him for his money because she doesn’t know how much he has. "A lot of money,” Charlie says.

Ray and Shoshanna:

Their relationship has been going downhill the last few episodes (but hasn’t reached the terrible level of Charlie/Marnie, or of Hannah/Adam–yet). While promoting his new film "Good Night” at the South by Southwest festival, Alex Karpovsky, who plays Ray, said the Sesason 2 finale goes "deeper and darker” for the two lovers. However, despite the relationship turmoil, Karpovsky said his character winds  up "in a place that’s very moving, surprising, and for (him), very illuminating.” Ray decides it’s finally time to do something with his life (and wants to impress the girlfriend who isn’t that interested in him anymore).

So where do they stand now? They are having sex and Shoshanna isn’t that into it and Ray can’t finish unless Shosh finishes. They are both being weird. "Will you get out of me?” she demands. (Good for her for demanding). Then she blurts out what’s bothering her: "You have no ambition and it’s really weighing on me, your lack of ambition.” Ray isn’t surprised. "Is this a real issue?” he wants to know. Of course it’s a real issue, Ray, of course it is.
