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.

This week, New Girl is all about complicated relationships. Each of the four are dealing with their own significant other issues: Jess and Nick are coming down from their “all in” excitement, Schmidt is still juggling Elizabeth and Cece, and even Winston is angling for an exclusive with Daisy (Brenda Song), his casual girlfriend in Season Three.
Schmidt: Schmidt initially asks Cece to be his date to the upcoming office party, but gets caught out by his conniving co-worker Beth (Eva Amurri), who spills the beans about the office party to Elizabeth while Schmidt is giving a tour of his new office (a 3/4 size replica of Don Draper’s office, natch). Schmidt’s forced to cancel with Cece by telling her that he can’t bring “Sig-oths” to the party. (more…)

“New Girl” is back, and this season is likely going to focus on Nick and Jess’s attempt at a relationship. The two have had an odd flirtation and romantic tension since the beginning of the show, but it wasn’t until last season that we saw Nick and Jess hook up and sift through their complicated feelings before having a go at something substantial. (Well, as substantial as two people who have had a weird-off in their apartment hallway could have.)
Nick and Jess are both giddy with each other, and tell each other they’re “all in.” But while standing outside 4D, where all the madness happens, the implications of falling for a roommate finally hit Nick and Jess. They both decide they need time away from the others, to figure things out. (more…)
