Anrew Rannell's character Elijah may have departed 'Girls' early on this season, but don't expect the character to remain absent forever.

"It’s very exciting ... I don’t know what’s in store," said the 'Book of Mormon' star. "But my fingers are crossed that I’ll come back at least for a little bit more.
