Season 1 - Episode 5
Fox (US)
New Girl takes on a slightly new dynamic this week, as Jess' friend Cece, who has made only fleeting appearances so far, becomes part of the main group for the week and causes chaos in the gang.
After discovering that her boyfrind has been cheating on her, Cece requires somewhere to stay for a few days. Jess offers her the couch in the apartment, and immediately comes to regret the decision. Firstly, Cece tells Jess that Nick likes her as more than a friend, which causes Jess to begin to act even weirder and kookier than usual. Jumping out of a car at a set of traffic lights and saying she never uses toilet paper being just two of her idiosynchrices. At the end of the episode, Jess realises he and Nick are just friends and the balance is restored. For now.
Elsewhere, Winston and Schmidt compete over Cece. After seeing how much Schmidt is into her (even giving up his bed so she could sleep), and how badly he's failing, Winston gives Schmidt the free run. He of course fails miserably, but after managing to get a horrible sunburn, Cece allows him to sleep in bed next to her, and even holds his hand. Schmidt is delighted, and even phones a bemused Winston to tell him - a really funny moment.
New Girl continues to be be consistently funny and warm. Jess is a wonderful character, and the rest of the cast are really working well too.
