I think he was being sarcastic.

The stuff was Desi and Marnie was bizarre and goofy.

You catch that Hallmark look Marnie gave Hanna as they were loading Desi into the car? Awful.
Their conversation sitting in the kitchen was the only redeeming thing about their entire episode arc.

I did like when Hanna was trying to swat Desi away from the broken window with the rubber spatula.
She has really exaggerated how slow, clumsy, and frumpy that character is as of late. That was just a strange sequence with the music and everything.

Episode 3 was just brilliant. Maybe one of the best episodes from the whole series.

But I was bored. Seemed like a very elementary exploration of a narrative that has been in the news a bit lately. I feel like Lena thought she was being more provocative than she really was.
I thought it was brilliant. And to have Hanna realize a lot of things until the end...it pushes her character into some truth.
Also the final shot with the faceless women going to the building was good.
