New Girl season 3, episode 2 “Nerds” just finished airing on Fox. Now you can read our recap and discuss the story line with fellow fans.

Our recap of tonight’s season 3, episode 2 of New Girl is as follows:

Schmidt continues to try and juggle his relationships with Cece and Elizabeth. He invites Cece to his office party in the morning. Later in the day, Elizabeth stops by the office and finds out about the party.

To try and solve the problem, Schmidt tells Cece that he found out significant others aren’t allowed at the party. However, the modeling job she booked that night went horribly wrong and she shows up to the party to get support. When he can’t keep Cece and Elizabeth out of each other’s sight, he makes up a story to get Cece to dress up like a caterer. Somehow his crazy plan works, and although the girls talk to each other, neither learns the truth.

Jess gets nervous when she doesn’t make any friends at her new school. She tells Nick about the clique of teachers at the school. Trying to be a good boyfriend, he offers to help. However, she gets embarrassed when he stops by with free school supplies. To her surprise, it seems to work.

The teachers come to Nick’s bar but Jess is still nervous. Nick tells her to go against her instincts and follow the other teacher’s lead. And getting extremely drunk also helps her calm down around the others. The bad side, she gets so drunk that she’s late for work the next day.

When she gets to the school, the other teachers let her in on their secret mug stash. Jess is officially apart of the in crowd. After work, Jess stops by the loft and tells Nick that her new friends plan to break into the principals house to use the Jacuzzi. Nick tries to talk her out of it but it doesn’t work and she goes anyways.

Jess succeeds in breaking into principals backyard and is relieved when Nick shows up to help. When the principal catches them, Jess thinks they’re in trouble. But he just wants people to join in the Jacuzzi fun. The other teachers love her for taking the blame and invite her to a grading party. But Jess decides to spend the night hanging out with Nick instead (awww).

Winston watches Daisy’s cat for her, but doesn’t know anything about them. Winston thinks this means she wants to take things to the next level. But things seem suspicious when he drops by her apartment and someone’s in her bathroom. Although Daisy agrees to go steady with Winston, she ushers him out rather quickly.

Winston turns to Nick for advice after he’s heartbroken. Nick tells him she’s obviously cheating, and he should break up with her. Winston decides that he also needs to kill her cat. He tries various ways to do the deed but can’t bring himself to do it.

Daisy shows up to the loft and explains that she was cheating on him. Winston breaks up with her and also decides to keep her cat.
