When Does Jess Tell Nick She Loves Him Again
WARNING: Because of the sheer wondrousness of tonight's ep, we're posting early on. If yous oasis't seen it withal, read no further. There will be SPOILERS!
I take information technology you saw the promos, Newbies? But nonetheless, wasn't the real thing so much better? Exist honest: Are you lot still squeeing yourself? Without a doubt, this episode was everything — a DVR keeper — so caryatid yourselves for a long recap. Then, after you've read and rewatched (I know I will), come back to EW.com subsequently the West Coast airing to read Jessica Shaw's chat with show creator Liz Meriwether and Jake Johnson about the decision to finally let this huge moment happen, the day Johnson and Zooey Deschanel shot the scene, and what he hopes will come of this game-changing moment. (UPDATE: Information technology's hither!)
And it will be a game-changer. There has been no shortage of chatter dedicated to the appropriate circumstances of a Jess and Nick kiss. How could the writers peradventure present it in an appropriately fresh, non-trite mode? One that wouldn't set up the relationship (if there should be ane) up for failure? Well, kids, I'm happy to report that they nailed it. It was necessary story-wise but only out-of-nowhere enough that the characters aren't painted into a corner and forced to resolve things in the immediate future; it was just emotionally revelatory enough that Jess will be thinking of that moment for a long fourth dimension to come — and and then will nosotros. (Also? Jake Johnson? Stop information technology with your underground hotness already. Seriously. How tin a human being and then skilled at turtle face be this sexy?) Add together to the mix the return of True American(!), a typically twisted and totally shipper-stoking Schmidt-Cece moment, and the rare chance for Winston to get a fiddling action, and this was the ultimate episode. Onward!
To be fair, Nick didn't beginning the episode in pinnacle form. More than like in female course — he was sporting a woman's trench coat that had accidentally been delivered to the loft. And withal he felt unstoppable — nay, "hot to trot!" while swathed in its "clean lines and pockets that don't quit." He even performed footling Michael Jackson circa Jackson 5-style spins because he looked that damn good. Winston and Jess were not impressed, just their mockery was cut brusque when Schmidt emerged from his chamber in a sheet diaper to announce he hadn't been able to "become anything going" with himself for more than an hour (the door had been open this whole time, mind yous). He vowed to leave and take sex activity, and he invited "London Fog" Nick and "Last Lovin' on Labor Day" Winston to prowl with him. Band of brothers! (Goofily dancing brothers in Nick and Schmidt's instance.)
"World's Best Wingwoman, reporting for duty!" Jess chirped, just to be told she was not invited because she'southward Nick'south cooler. (Libation, for the uninitiated, is a nice way of saying c—blocker.) Jess denied Nick's allegation, and he tried play information technology down. "It's not you… information technology'due south the way that you acquit and the things that you say and the await on your face and," he paused, unable to deny the truth. "It is you! It'south y'all. Yous're the cooler!" So Jess resigned herself to staying in for the night to clean her closet and try out her new ice cream maker. (That actually sounds like an astonishing nighttime. Related note: I'k old.)

A few hours later, the Ring of Brothers were sitting glumly at Nick's bar. Schmidt groused, "I tin't believe you got us kicked out of the disc-uh-tech, Nick." Winston blamed information technology on the trench glaze, saying, "It freaks girls out!" Soon plenty, they spotted a hot chick (Brooklyn Decker) and started pumping themselves up to pounce. On the way over, Nick and Schmidt stopped to squabble over who had first dibs, which gave Winston a chance to slip in. Only, given his dry spell, he struggled to stick the opener. And so Schmidt came in and told Winston, "Tap out!" Winston sabbatum downwards, down-hearted, next to a beautiful girl named Daisy (Brenda Vocal), who immediately told him showed him her engagement band to show she was taken.
Back at the loft, a pig-tailed Jess was surrounded past a pile of polka-dotted garments and turquoise tulle. She looked over at a hoodie-wearing melon with a scruffy face drawn on it and asked, "What do y'all think, Nick?" Cut to a shot of Jess riffing on Risky Business organisation, which basically consisted of her running around like Shoshanna on fissure, yelling "No bottoms! No bottoms!" Cut to: "Bottoms on top!" Cutting to: Jess in a cardboard box with the artillery cut out, monotone-ing, "Robot. Tin can't. Notice. Clothes. To. Fit. Information technology." And finally cut to: Jess slow-mo running through a toilet paper finish line — "I do it for Keeeeenyaaaaaa! [Falls to the ground] Silver? Damn y'all, Zimbabwe!" Her adorkable merriment screeched to a standstill when she thought she heard scratching at the door. She proceeded to call everyone she knew to dictate her concluding will and attestation via voicemail in a panicked vocalization.
Back at the bar, Winston was newly confident, having been freed from the pressure of seduction by Daisy. Every bit such, she became his impromptu gal pal, sounding board, and coach in the ways of being a playa. Meanwhile, Schmidt and Nick worked their magic on Holly the hottie, past which I mean were slap-fighting and insulting each other'south pathetic lives. Weirdly, this was exactly what Holly wanted. Turns out, she got her rocks off on others' misery — a schadenflirt, if you lot volition. So Nick's stolen lady glaze, his cleaved centre, and his full general loser vibe were quite literally foreplay for her. "I beloved sad guys, and you seem sadder than about," she told him. "When you go habitation at night, exercise you look in the mirror and but think, 'I am the worst?'" Nick: "I actually… yes, I do!" Now this was a match made in heaven.
Except! Schmidt took Jess's call on Nick's phone and forced it into his easily. He grumpily walked abroad to listen to Jess speculate that the loft noises "might be gang-related. I've e'er been worried most my blue curtains. Crips!" Nick was understandably miffed that Jess had managed to exist his cooler even over the phone, but when she whimpered, "I need yous," he relented and brought the whole coiffure back home. After nearly assaulting them with a baseball bat, Jess flung her arms around Nick (and Holly) and begged, "Never get out me solitary again."
NEXT PAGE: True American or Cartel
Every bit Nick walked Jess around the apartment to assuage her fears, she admitted she had been his cooler. But! She had a plan. A plan that involved yelling out expressionless presidents' names, climbing on furniture, and consuming tremendous amounts of alcohol. Yeah, my friends, it was time for the triumphant return of True American! Only this fourth dimension, there was a twist designed explicitly to go Nick laid: Stripping! Or, as Jess put it, "Clinton rules: Pick your intern." It was truly an inspired addition to the already all-over-the-place game. (Bonus pop culture points for tonight'due south game: Abu Nazir even got a name check!)
While Nick and Schmidt plied Holly with a series of increasingly traumatic come-ons (come across Dotables), Daisy and Winston drank themselves dizzy under a table. She tried to motorbus him on how to hit on Holly, merely the all-time he could come up with was, "You're a swell kinda gal. … Hey daughter, what yo' name is? What that thang do?" (Schmidt would be so proud of those last two!)
At that bespeak, Holly was still mostly clothed (beginner's luck?), but Schmidt was down to his skivvies (and happily then — all the ameliorate to bear witness off his six-pack), Jess was rocking a bra and some crinolines, and Nick was mostly naked except for his lady glaze. Schmidt took exception to Nick's dodging of the rules, simply Jess (who had been appointed president, I gauge) proposed solving the squabble by sending two players "backside the Fe Curtain" (a.yard.a. door to 1 of the rooms) for "clear and present tongue." The plan was meant to get Nick and Holly canoodling, but of course it backfired when Holly got confused by the option process (in no small-scale function because of Schmidt), and Jess and Nick ended up equally the pair exiled to makeout-land.
With Jess and Nick backside airtight doors until they presented photographic proof, Schmidt fabricated his movement. He pulled out the big guns, telling Holly his Cece sob story. (The crowning quote: "Sometimes I hear her proper name when the wind blows. "Cece!" Y'all know I left something behind in the desert that day — my faith in true dear and my future biracial kid.") Merely he had laid his heartbreak on a little too thick, and she said, "You kinda lost me there — it'south more than depressing than distressing." So Schmidt backpedaled furiously, claiming he was over Cece, but she was still in love with him. He pleaded, "Can you lot help me motility on, Holly? Can you heal my pain?" Ding ding! Magic words!
At this very moment, Cece barged in to check on Jess later on receiving no less than a dozen frantic texts almost "The Calabasas Scratcher." She even brought forth some poor sap, with whom she was having a kickoff appointment, to prove this wasn't a premeditated scrap-out. Alas, the half-naked hook-up scene at the loft, not to mention by Schmidt's insistence that Cece claim she had feelings for him (so he could seal the deal with Holly), made information technology hard for Cece's date to experience wanted. And, information technology should be noted, Cece did say she loved Schmidt. That she loves him. (Was it me, or was there a spark of connection between them at this moment?) So Cece, and her appointment, went home alone — and now Schmidt owes her large-time. I, for i, hope he pays her back in sexytimes involving many flavors of chut-i-ney.
While all this was happening, Daisy helped Winston go his groove back. After which, and much to his surprise, she revealed she wasn't really engaged. She just wore the ring so sleazeballs wouldn't striking on her. Though this news tripped him upward at showtime, he regained his cool and went in for the kiss she clearly wanted. It was brusque and sweetness. When they leaned out, she said flatly, "C-minus, you kiss similar a damn bowwow." Of class she was just messing with him. The girl's got spunk. Here's hoping she sticks around.
Side by side PAGE: "Suck it upward and French a picayune"
Back behind door No. 1, Jess and Nick were predictably awkward. "Permit's just suck it upwards and French a little," she urged pragmatically. Though he didn't care for that particular verbiage, Nick was willing. He asked, "Are y'all a tonguer?" Oh honey… Suffice it to say, there was no buss at that time — though in that location were several failed lean-in attempts involving an aborted countdown, a creepy face, and Nick'southward teeth. Lots of desperate screaming and banging on the door later, they had tired themselves out.
They sat downwardly, and Jess once again admitted she was Nick'southward cooler — 30 percentage of the time. The other 70 percent — all Nick. "Some basic preparation," she encouraged, "and you'd be smokin' hot." This unexpected compliment provided a much-needed mood lightener, as well as a natural cue for Nick to put his paw casually on Jess'south knee. It seemed he didn't really realize he'd done it — until he did. Then Jess did. And they had ane of those end-of-the-political party moments when you're simply tipsy and relaxed enough to realize possibilities existed where yous never saw them earlier. They looked into each other's eyes and were about about to lean in… when Sam knocked on the door. Moment. Gone.
Or was it? Earlier Sam permit Jess and Nick out, he asked what they were doing behind the door. Cut to a minute after when he was cheering them on. This is the same guy who rebuffed the advances of a stripper. Yet he was totally okay with his girlfriend making out with her roommate. Clearly he has never considered Nick a threat. So, with 6 people auspicious them on, Jess and Nick were once again pressured to put out. She said they should just practice it already, but Nick blurted out, "Not like this!" That was the moment when the toothpaste was out of the tube. She asked what he meant, and he found himself stumbling around this maybe-confession. All the while, chants of "Kiss! Buss! Buss! Kiss!" rang out in the background. That'southward what you call a Greek Chorus, my friends. Those peer-pressuring partygoers, drunkard on Jack and power — they were united states.
Nick lapsed into a panic attack over almost admitting his feelings for Jess — feelings he may not have even realized he had. And then he did the logical matter: He escaped out the window. He immediately realized what a horrible mistake he'd made while he shimmied over to the living room window. The others heard his terrified screams and saw their lady trench-wearing roommate on the edge of death. And that'south when Schmidt fainted.
A scrap later, with Nick safely inside, Winston and Schmidt vowed to talk about this massive overreaction… in the morning. Tonight they had ladies to "do stuff with" (though Holly did tell Nick, "If you lot ever feel the urge to bound again, call me!"). The guys headed to their rooms, followed past a highly amused Sam (even less threatened than before), who went to bed with Jess.
In the heart of the night, Jess thought she heard scratching again and called Nick. He opened the front end door and was attacked by a huge St. Bernard-type dog. Its possessor came running over to repent — and recognized the glaze she'd ordered online. Nick was sleeping in it. After enervating the coat off Nick's back, she walked off, muttering angrily.
And and then there were two. Jess and Nick laughed about the the return of One-time Nick and the passing-on of Trench Coat Nick. "I liked him," said Nick. "He had guts." The argument, tinged with the slightest flake of regret, hung in the air for a moment before Jess gave Nick a friendly tap on the arm and turned to get dorsum to bed. She got maybe a pace before Nick grabbed her by the elbow and pulled her into him. They kissed, mutually and with a surprising amount of passion. It was HOT, is what I'yard saying. They pulled away slightly, but Nick went back for more. "I meant something like that," he said softly and walked off. Jess touched her face, tried to process it all. Her rima oris was nevertheless partially open in shock when Sam emerged from her room and asked if he could move the DIY scarecrow to the living room. Jess croaked out an okay and walked, dazed, back into her bedroom as Sam dropped Melonhead Nick on the floor. Pan downward to a busted cantaloupe in a hoodie. Perhaps Onetime Nick was gone after all, simply a bit of Trench Coat Nick was here to stay.

Jess: Ewwwww! You have the door open, Schmidt!
Schmidt: I'thou over myself. I just don't do it for me anymore. I fifty-fifty bought myself a sexy pair of underpants to spice things up. Nothin'. I just laid at that place. Y'all know what? That'southward it! This evening, I start having sex again! Now [points at Winston and Nick] are you two going to bring together me?
