New Girl season 4 premieres in just a few days! To prepare yourself here’s everything important you need to know about last season.
Nick and Jess became official at the start of season 3
If you dig way back into your New Girl memory you may recall that Nick and Jess ran away to Mexico together to live out of her car. They decided to go all in with their relationship but that didn’t mean they were ready for the real world.
But when Nick landed himself in jail they had no choice. Jess called in Schmidt and Winston to help her bust Nick out of jail. But when they finally found Nick he didn’t want to leave. He tried to convince Jess that if they left their relationship would fall apart. She managed to assure him that they’d make it work.
Schmidt dated Cece and Elizabeth at the same time
Can’t figure out why Cece and Schmidt aren’t back together? Oh, because he played her while dating another women. Now, it didn’t seem like something Schmidt was trying to do in order to hurt them. Instead he felt bad breaking up with either one of them. And it quickly blew up in his face when his lies caught up with him. The result was Cece telling Schmidt she didn’t know who he was. Schmidt has been hung up on Cee ever since.
Nick became an adult (kind of)
Nick inherited a large sum of money after his father’s death. It didn’t take long for him to start spending it on random things. But when Jess found his box of unpaid bills she wanted him to step up and pay them. It ended up causing a big rift between them and Nick wondered if Jess would ever stop trying to fix him. But he did do the responsible thing and open up a bank account to make her happy.
Coach moved back into the loft!
One of the best parts about season 3 of New Girl was that Coach moved back in with Nick, Winston, and Jess. Schmidt had moved out in order to work on himself after his breakup with Cece. That didn’t stop Schmidt from hanging around the loft though. The guys quickly got into trouble together.
Winston decided to change careers, again
Jess inspired Winston to chase his dreams, so he quit his job at the radio show. Except that he wasn’t sure what his dream was. After shadowing Schmidt at work for the day Winston realized that marketing wasn’t for him either. But after helping Schmidt get back at a co-worker who stole his idea Winston came to the revelation that he wants to pursue criminal justice.
Jess and Nick moved in together
Technically the pair already lived together. But somehow were coerced into sharing a bedroom by Jess’ sister Abby. Who also happened to leave Schmidt broke. Things got weird and they quickly realized that they just were not ready to share a room. Too bad Schmidt needed to move back in and had already taken over Jess’s old room.
Jess & Coach got new jobs, at the same place
Jess managed to get Coach a job as the gym teacher at the school she works for. In return, he helped her get the courage to ask for the job as vice principal. Which she landed! But then was told she had to fire Coach due to budget reasons. Coach decided to help the school’s team anyways so Jess stood up for him to the principal and got his job back.
True American! And a breakup
True American returned! This time Winston, Coach, Schmidt, Jess, Nick, and Cece all played. And it caused them to be very hung over and have a massive sleep over. It also caused a fight between Nick and Jess that made them realize they’re just very different people. Jess admitted to already having a plan for her life and Nick…not so much. Jess and Nick came to the conclusion that they were tired of fighting and just wanted to be friends again.
Everyone comes together again
Schmidt and Cece had become closer since he helped her pass her GED exam. Unfortunately, she was quite entangled in a new relationship. He couldn’t get up the courage to tell her his true feelings. Everyone went on a romantic cruise with Nick and Jess who had booked it when they were still a couple. In a moment of awkwardness, Nick tried to kiss Jess but she stopped him.
In an attempt to fix everything Cece invited everyone back to the room. There she gave them a pep talk about it being okay that their relationship is messed up and complicated. Cece also pointed out that she had kissed half the people in the room and they were all still friends. The air was cleared so Nick and Jess felt better. Until they realized they were locked in the room. Three days later the cruise director found them locked in the room where things got a bit crazy.
Back at the loft Schmidt and Nick decided to get bunkbeds to fix the shortage of the rooms.
