Tonight on New Girl season 4, episode 17, “Spiderhunt,” Schmidt has a serious case of arachnophobia.
On the last episode of New Girl the whole gang went to Oregon for Bob Day’s wedding. Ryan was supposed to meet Jess there but bailed on her last minute, leaving her crushed. So Nick took it upon himself to cheer her up by going on a tour of her childhood.
Still, it couldn’t distract Jess from the reality of her failing relationship – especially with Nick pointing out Ryan’s faults. By the end of the night, Jess was single once again. Meanwhile, Cece finally admitted that she was in love with Schmidt, just not to him.
