New Girl

The gang attends yet another wedding this summer. While there, Jess competes with Kat (Jessica Biel), an overachieving scientist for the affection of Ted (Reid Scott), the best man at the wedding. Schmidt tries to convince Nick to take part in a sexual foursome with two other women. Coach has a hard time trying to hook up with women at the wedding. Cece reveals that she and Buster have broken up.

Jess uses a dating app called Dice and with a little help from Schmidt to effectively find the best guy for her. Coach reveals that he never tried marijuana, so Nick and Cece bake brownies, for Coach’s first stoned experience, where they all get stoned, just as LAPD cadet Winston invites them all to a barbecue with other LAPD cadets.

Jess’ father Bob (Rob Reiner) visits with his new young girlfriend Ashley Berkman (Kaitlin Olson), a classmate from Jess’ old high school and a recovering sex addict. Schmidt rigs a product focus group with Coach, Nick and Winston participating on giving their thoughts on sponges.

Jess tries to prove to the guys that she is not superficial by dating Matt (Alan Ritchson), a seemingly handsome guy who has a rare male endowment issue. Cece and Winston trick Coach and Schmidt into thinking that they are good looking enough to be male models.

Vice principal Jess implements a non dating policy with the faculty members, just as she becomes attracted to Ryan Geauxinue (Julian Morris), the new teacher, taking over her old science teaching position. Jess gets a new landline phone for the apartment. Nick becomes the "secretary" of the phone taking messages for Schmidt and Winston.

As a part of his police academy processing, Winston must undergo a background check, as well as having the apartment searched by his superior Dorado (Cleo King). However, Jess reveals to the guys that she has an illegal drug in her possession.

Nick pretends to be gay to avoid conflict with Jess’ latest boyfriend Ian (Michael Stahl-David). Cece reveals that she is considering breast reduction surgery, which leaves Schmidt emotionally distraught. Winston does little tasks hoping it will lead to him sleeping with either Michelle (Alexandra Daddario) or her new roommate Viv (Amber Stevens).

Jess and Coach go to a teachers workshop during the weekend, held by Brenda Brown (Lisa Bonet), a free-spirited education guru. During the weekend, Jess is terrified to spend any intimate time with Ryan Geauxinue and Coach is doubtful that he will be a good enough health teacher. While Jess is away, Nick, Schmidt and Winston have a "guy’s weekend".

For Thanksgiving, Schmidt demands that everyone bring a friend to sleep with another friend for "Bangsgiving". Coach invites Ryan Geauxinue for the occasion, with Jess still having conflicting feelings for him.

An old disagreement between Jess and Cece is brought up again, causing more tense ramifications than before. Nick begins dating Tran’s granddaughter Kai (Greta Lee), with Winston putting the thought into Nick’s mind that she may be homeless. Winston has a hard time buckling down to study for LAPD entrance exam.

The gang arrives at the Los Angeles International Airport, where most of their flights are delayed. Jess is invited by Ryan Geauxinue to meet his family in England for Christmas, and is worried that she is not good enough for them.

Jess and Schmidt disagree on the approach that should be taken concerning overnight construction disturbing the neighborhood. Matters get even more complicated with Schmidt falling for Fawn Moscato (Zoe Lister-Jones), a cold and manipulative councilwoman working for the neighborhood district. Winston graduates from the police academy and is assigned a partner named Aly (Nasim Pedrad). Nick and Coach then become worried that Aly is too small to protect Winston when they are on duty.

Jess finally tells the school staff about her relationship with Ryan Geauxinue, however she also tries not to show favoritism to Ryan, when the teachers are tasked to come up with a school field trip. When Schmidt is diagnosed with ulcers and recommended to take a day off from work, Nick and Kai make sure that he does. Coach changes his personality to hook up with Nurse Ruth (Erinn Hayes). Winston is obsessed with wearing a crystal around his neck that he thinks is a good luck charm.

Jess tries to mediate when Nick and Schmidt continually clash concerning business ideas that they plan on presenting to investor Lori Greiner. Cece is unable to pay for her college tuition, so Coach and Winston "invest" in her by giving her money and hovering over her to pick better and much easier college courses.

After Kai breaks up with him, Nick has the gang take part in a bar crawl on Valentine’s Day. While struggling to find a new job at another school, Ryan Geauxinue asks Jess to move in with him. Schmidt and Fawn Moscato are now dating, and she is more concerned with impressing her fellow colleagues, leaving Schmidt to emotionally reconnect with Cece. Coach tries to hook up with May (Meaghan Rath), a woman also taking part in a bar crawl of her own and has similar interests as him.

The gang travels to Jess’ old hometown of Oregon for Bob’s wedding to Ashley. Ryan Geauxinue fails to show up for the trip to Oregon, with Jess beginning to feel that continuing her long distance relationship with him was a mistake. Cece gets flustered trying to talk to an old high school crush.

Schmidt’s arachnophobia causes the gang to hunt for a spider loose in the loft. Cece is reluctant to tell Jess about her feelings for Schmidt. Nick cooks his infamous sauce. Coach has a hard time typing an e-mail to send to May, asking her out on a date.

Jess and Cece end up taking the walk of shame, in Jess’s case she spends the night with Bearclaw (Josh Gad). Coach is embarrassed to invite Nick and Winston to an art exhibit where May, who is a cellist, will be performing.
