The holidays are a time for family, cheer, and total insanity at the airport on New Girl season 4, episode 11, “LaXmas.” Read our recap here!
After watching a creepy Christmas play from their students, Ryan and Jess get some alone time in the props closet. That’s where Ryan chooses to invite Jess to go to London with him for the holidays. She thinks it might be too soon, but Ryan is pretty convincing.
Getting away
To have some last time together before they all leave on vacation, the gang is riding together to the airport. Schmidt is already moody that he’s going back home to Long Island, but Winston is actually excited to head back to Chicago where he’s considered a 10 (apparently).
They arrive at LAX and quickly realize that the airport is in chaos as many flights have been delayed. Including Schmidt, Cece, Nick, and Winston’s, so Jess took it upon herself to get them all new flights. But she found the ticket agent to be quite rude (but also kind of awesome).
While they wait for their red eye flights, Schmidt decides to sneak into the first class lounge, but the attendant is not to be fooled. Cece impresses him by simply asking for guest passes.
They don’t last very long in the lounge though. Schmidt gets insulted when an older gentleman offers to give him his gold membership in exchange for a night with Cece. Naturally, Schmidt makes a scene and tells him no deal.
Failed plans
Jess starts to get freaked out when Ryan sends her a picture of his house and it’s practically a castle. What she thought was going to be an easy meeting is now scaring her.
So Jess heads to the bar to drink her troubles away. And a creepy Santa hits on her. But Barry the ticket agent is there to scare him away and becomes her drinking buddy. He very easily convinces her not to go to England. Lying, Jess tells Ryan that her flight was cancelled.
Worried that they might not make their flight, Nick and Winston decide to scare the others on the waitlist out of flying. It goes pretty well until Nick pretends to be a flight attendant and rips other tickets up.
Since Jess isn’t going to England anymore, Barry feels bad for her. So he hooks her up with tickets for Nick and Winston to go to Chicago.
Saving the holidays
But when Nick realizes that Jess is going to be alone for Christmas, he gets off his flight. The gang gets together to tell Jess she has to go on her trip to England. After a mad dash, they make it to her gate and Jess gets on the plane.
In the end, though, it was all for naught. Trying to be with Jess, Ryan had jumped on a plane and headed for her loft. So they’re still in different countries on the holidays!
Still, Coach did get to surprise his niece. And Cece and Schmidt got some bonding time.
