New Girl was back in action last night and I felt my love for the show slowly starting to resurrect. For me, this season has been pretty slow and dismal with only "awh" worthy Nick and Jess moments generating any sort of response from me. Tonight's episode gave us a look into the characters' past and I loved everything about it:
- Jess had about 21 minutes to decide whether she wanted to still be a teacher or not. The pressure was on and the guys opted to help her out to the best of their ability. As one of the most indecisive human beings in the entire world I praise Jess for figuring her life out in such a short period of time. Television makes everything seem possible.
- The flashbacks of the earlier years of the guy's lives really made me laugh. Schmidt the candy stripper turned Christmas tree seller. Winston the worst Denis Rodman look alike in Latvia. And Nick the white Bob Marley look alike turned high class society law student. We also discovered how Ernie became Coach. I loved the direction and the tone of the flashbacks this week.
- When Jess feels like she's lost hope CeCe comes and saves the day and it was a true heartfelt moment. I don't know why it hit me so hard but I will admit to tearing up at that flashback. There was something so sweet and so special about finding out the CeCe was the first person Jess ever taught and how they're friendship has blossomed from that moment on. Sometimes I believe they are the true otp of the show. (one true pairing if you're a slang newbie... it's okay)
- I felt like throwing confetti upon learning that Nick actually passed his LA Bar Exam. The first two seasons he always wanted to be more than a bartender. Everyone believed he was capable of so much more. Now that he has the possibility to be a lawyer I wonder if they will go down that road with him. The fact that he's teaching CeCe how to become a bartender warms my heart too. That friendship can develop more if it wants to.
Favourite Episode Quote
- "She's looking for career advice, your job could be done by a vending machine." - Schmidt
This week's episode was such a step up, I am hoping the rest of the season continues down this road.
