New Girl 2x24

PLOT SUMMARY
Cece's wedding day draws closer and the preparation for it gets even more stressful. Cece is freaking out and turns to Jess for comfort, especially after she accidentally tattooed her own face (don't ask). Meanwhile, Jess and Nick's relationship moves to the next level after they slept together. To make matters worse, Jess' father came to visit while the couple's still figuring out the meaning of their hook-up.

Jess warned Nick of her father's fury if he found out about their lovemaking session. While Nick was initially fearful, he bonded with her father and told him the news. That pissed him off and he revealed his disapproval towards Nick.

Schmidt and Elizabeth got into a fight after Schmidt pretended not to know her when she came to visit. However, it was a short-lived fight and the two got together again soon after.

It was a chaos for Jess who had to calm Cece down, prevent Nick from telling her father and find a job.

Meanwhile, it's Winston's birthday, but that's not on anyone's priorities.

FUNNY MOMENTS

PERSON OF THE HALF HOUR

Jake Johnson as Nick Miller.
I'm a sucker for actors who can portray a lot of emotions through small facial movements. Jake's simple flickers of the eyes and movements of the eyebrows did exactly that. He did a marvelous job at portraying Nick in this episode and the multiple faces he made in the episode displayed realistically what a normal person would feel if they were in his situation.

WELL...
This episode is filled with a balance of comedy drama and romance. I have to say it was clever of them to have Winston idly waiting for a surprise celebration throughout the episode when everybody is busy with their own problems. Nick not receiving approval from Jess' father is great too, it will give them a 'Romeo and Juliet' kind of romance which will be interesting to watch. Also, their romance not progressing smoothly will add drama and excitement to the show.

Honestly, I didn't think it would last between Schmidt and Elizabeth. I have always thought Schmidt and Cece would end up together. But in this episode, it is obvious that Cece is in love with her fiancee and so is Schmidt with Elizabeth. While it's not a good news for Schmidt-Cece fans, it's wonderful to know that the writers aren't limiting the romance within the main cast. ErhmHowIMetYourMotherErhm 

Jess is back to teaching children. And not just any children. In this episode we had a glimpse of the children she will be teaching; an obese studious girl and a rich Indian(?) boy with a car and a pack of cigarettes. They are one bunch of troubled kids I'm sure and it will be interesting to see the writers explore that in the future.
