Fox has just released the promo for New Girl episode 2×21 “First Date” to air at a special time on Thursday April 4. Watch the promo here!

When we last saw New Girl, Nick’s father died and the roommates banned together to be his support system. Together they trekked back to his hometown Chicago to prepare for the funeral. Too bad that also meant dealing with Nick’s crazy family that weren’t all that fond of Jess. Especially Nick’s mom Bonnie who didn’t like Jess from the beginning and took a liking to making fun of her. The funeral also caused Schmidt to loose his luggage as well as his mind. Despite all the crazy Millers, the roommates pulled it together, especially Nick and Jess who grew even closer.

The synopsis for New Girl episode 2×21 “First Date” is:
