IMPACT x Nightline: Elton John: Still Standing

Struggling writer Hannah gets cut off financially by her parents and fired from her unpaid internship. Meanwhile, Hannah's best friend and Type-A roommate Marnie hosts a dinner party for their bohemian British friend Jessa, who has returned from who-knows-where to move in with her younger, 'Sex and the City'-obsessed cousin Shoshanna.

Hannah reveals her Forrest Gump-induced AIDS phobia when she realizes Adam might not be practicing monogamy. Marnie lives in denial of her growing boredom with (and sexual repulsion by) her long-term boyfriend Charlie. Jessa avoids Marnie's meticulously planned day at a women's health clinic, where Shoshanna confesses a humiliating secret.

Hannah meets up with her erstwhile college flame to find out how she contracted HPV, uncovering much more in the process. Marnie's art-gallery boss introduces her to a cocky artist who piques her interest, while Jessa gets a baby-sitting gig.

Adam sends Hannah a "sext" message that puts her in a tailspin. Meanwhile, Hannah's boss gets touchy at her office job, Shoshanna reunites with a boy from sleepaway camp, Jessa gets distracted while watching her charges, and Ray and Charlie snoop through the girls' apartment.

At Jessa's advice, Hannah decides to better her story by propositioning her boss. She subsequently retreats to Adam, who has a different idea about the state of their union. Meanwhile, Marnie and Charlie assess their relationship, and Jessa is determined to reconquer an ex.

Hannah's parents fly her back to Michigan to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary. Though they hope she'll go on their date, she gets one of her own instead, and catches up with some high-school friends who are mourning a hometown tragedy.

At the "best party ever" in Bushwick, Brooklyn, Hannah learns Adam's main defining trait (other than his ears), Marnie is beside herself (and annoying others) after seeing Charlie, Jessa teases a mystery texter, and Ray becomes Shoshanna's spirit guide in a time of need.

Hannah ventures further into Adam's world, for better and for worse. Newly unemployed Jessa, and Marnie, at an all-time low, bond unexpectedly and meet a very eligible bachelor who is not what he seems.

Behind on rent and resentful of the literary success of a former classmate, Hannah starts work at Grumpy Cafe and does a reading hosted by a former professor. Marnie finds it increasingly difficult to support Hannah financially and emotionally. Jessa is confronted by her former boss, and Shoshanna goes on a day date with an online match.

Hannah starts to question her relationship with Adam. Jessa throws a mystery party where Marnie embraces her free-spirited side, and Shoshanna's uniqueness works in her favor.
