The synopsis for New Girl season 3, episode 4 “The Captain” has been released revealing why Schmidt will try and sabotage Jess and Nick’s relationship.

From spoilers we know that Jess will attempt to spice up her relationship with Nick. Worried that she doesn’t know what he likes, she turns to Schmidt for help. Schmidt agrees to help Jess but unbeknownst to Jess, he has an ulterior motive. Instead of trying to help Jess, he actually wants to ruin things for her and Nick. But why?! The newly released synopsis gives us a better idea.

The synopsis for New Girl season 3, episode 4 “The Captain” is:

“A JEALOUS SCHMIDT IS ON A MISSION TO BREAK APART JESS AND NICK ON AN ALL-NEW “NEW GIRL” TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8, ON FOX

A vengeful Schmidt targets Jess and Nick’s relatively happy relationship. Meanwhile, when Winston learns that Furguson the cat must be neutered, he is determined to give this feline one last night of carnal glory in the all-new “The Captain” episode of NEW GIRL airing Tuesday, Oct. 8 (9:00-9:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
