Lots of “incidents” in this chapter of New Girl.
Have I covered all the main characters? Yes … I have. And what’s interesting about that is the writers’ abilities to put together an entire 22-odd minutes of show diligently calling out each and every one of them. That’s a lot of story to put out there. Previous New Girl stints have been surrounded by the wacky situations, but we were treated to a lot of cohesiveness this time around. Clever and interesting plot points, not just throw away fluff. This was a well rounded episode where everyone got equal time.

Quotes:
“I want you to know … that was the last time. Okay? This is over.” — Cece to Schmidt after their 3rd round of sexploitations
“But we haven’t even gotten to the cheese course … a little sharp, aged cheddar … Manchego… basic buttery Gruyere … you sure you want to miss out … I just wanna peel the wax off your Babybels …” — Schmidt
“What are you even saying?” — Cece
“How bout a little stinky Taleggio….” — Schmidt
“Why is this working? I am so turned on right now….” — Cece
“Or maybe some cream cheese … want some schmear, Cece? You know what? Cece, you should go. Because if you have the strength to turn all this down [gestures at himself] … do it.” — Schmidt
“Yeah. I’m good.” — Cece leaves
“So … are you going to ‘three-peat’ this ho?” — Jess
“You may want to change that” — Jess suggesting the “I’ve Got Wood” caption on a class project be altered
“Is this one of those fortune telling cactuses?” — Winston to Nick on the cactus Julia gave him
“I’m like a sexual snowflake: Each night is a unique experience.” — Schmidt to Cece
“Wanna party with Havarti?” — Schmidt
“Fine. Gimme the damned cheese …” — Cece
“Why is your voice so deep like a man’s? Your happiness seems like a mask.” — Jess’ student Brianna to Jess
Who doesn’t party with Harvarti!
I agree, two moms forced and unnecessary. Only reason I can think it was there was to make Brianna more untouchable.
It was a bit of weak sauce that it was the 7 crazy messages that derailed the oddly filled relationship of Julia and Nick. I guess V-Day can only take you so far.
Hmm, the two moms didn’t seem forced. What gave you that idea? Having the parental units just concretized the mean girl that is Brianna and made Jess’s act seem worse.
However, I loved Julia and Nick. Last week’s episode made me hope for them, so after getting over her anti-relationship hesitance, it seems odd that J would just drop N.
What makes you feel like the two moms thing was forced? I don’t think it was anything other than her two parents being right there, they just happened to be two women. Would you have had any comment on it if it had been a straight couple?
I didn’t the two moms was a forced issue either. If they had somehow rolled that into the plot, then maybe. But they didn’t. Didn’t even phase me really.
And I didn’t like Julia, so I was glad she dumped Nick. He was a riot.
