This episode of “The Mindy Project” opens with Mindy in post-breakup mode: crying, ordering takeout, and listening to Les Mis. On her way into work, Mindy trips and falls over a parcel belonging to a lawyer in the building named Cliff Gilbert (Glenn Howerton). Mindy storms in Gilbert’s office, threatening to sue for slip and fall, but Gilbert easily confuses Mindy with legal jargon.
Back at the practice, Jeremy reveals a new sign after changing the name from Schulman and Associates to Pearson, Castellano, Reed and Prentiss. Mindy reveals that she and Casey broke up. After failing to implement “heartbreak days,” Mindy’s cornered in the break room by Morgan, who tells an uncaring Mindy that all of his ex-girlfriends have magically gone on to fall in love with amazing guys.
Danny is interrupted by new doctor Peter doing the cinnamon challenge while being egged on by the staff and gets a mouthful of cinnamon in the face. Danny storms into Jeremy’s office, demanding that he be fired, but Jeremy claims that he’s a good doctor, which Danny observes while he playfully connects with a patient.

n this week’s episode of “New Girl,” Schmidt’s still upset over his relationship SNAFU, and he still plans to take it out on Nick and Jess. Winston, in one of his rare moments of zen advice, reminds Schmidt that he could’ve been happy with either woman, but he blew it.
Later, Winston tells Nick and Jess about Winston’s impending neuter surgery, and the two joke about throwing Winston a cat bachelor party so that he could get laid. In Winston’s absurd world, this is a brilliant and doable idea.
The next morning, Winston’s runs into an attractive woman (Riki Lindome) picking up her cat, Fatty from the pet shop groomer. Winston slyly suggests, “My boy cat is looking for a girl cat.” The woman, believing Winston to be hitting on her in a weird but sexy way, suggests that their cats could go on a date, and Winston thinks it’s a step towards getting Ferguson laid. “How often do you groom your cat?” he asks her. Major signals crossed.

In the primary storyline of tonight’s episode of “Brooklyn NIne-Nine,” Captain Holt assigns Jake and Diaz to Boyle’s DOA case; Santiago warns Boyle that Jake’s a horrible secondary due to his inability to take orders and give up control. Although Jake wants to prove Santiago wrong, he’s quickly taking lead at the crime scene investigation, deciding that it’s an natural death case while making a string of lazy fat jokes due to the victim’s size.
Doyle easily rolls over, but Diaz takes Jake aside and tells him to lay off from bulldozing Charles on the lead. Jake petulantly takes a backseat until he spots the attractive medical examiner Dr. Rossi (Mary Elizabeth Ellis) and shameless flirts with her (over a dead body). He volunteers to “follow up” with Dr. Rossi over dinner while Doyle is running the investigation, and Boyle thinks Jake’s embracing his status as second banana.

Back from Haiti, Casey’s returned to his packed church and reveals to everyone’s chagrin (most of all Mindy’s) that he’s giving up the ministry to become a DJ. Fast forward six weeks later: Casey’s consumed by his new “passion” while shacked up with Mindy, who is frustrated by his burning grilled cheese sandwiches and general laziness.
Mindy decides to confront Casey about finding a more productive when Casey gives her the exciting news about landing his first DJ gig at the Penny Farthing Music Festival. Most of the regular office gang decide to make the trip to the festival with Mindy, but they seem less than impressed with Casey’s ambitions–with the exception of Morgan, who thinks Casey is “like a white Beastie Boy.” (more…)
This episode of “New Girl” begins with Schmidt being caught off-guard when Jess suggests that he and Cece double-date with her and Nick, because he’s already made plans with Elizabeth that evening (to watch “Dexter” and eat pie). Cece is suspicious of Schmidt’s weird(er) behavior, but agrees to the plans. Winston, who has his own love affair with Ferguson the cat, invites himself on the date by promising to get reservations to Picca, the hot new restaurant.
While Nick and Jess are in bed, Cece confides in Jess about wondering if Schmidt’s on drugs. Nick, who doesn’t want to get involved, is coaxed by Jess to do some recon (with some hilarious Southern lawyer-farm worker-itchy bra roleplay). When Nick checks in with Schmidt, Schmidt traps him with a confession about his double-timing. After a “who’s on first?”-eqsue series of questioning, Schmidt begs Nick not to tell Jess about his cheating, but he’s now put Nick in the horrible (and impossible) position of keeping a secret.
