This week Jess will be attending a conference where she grows closers to co-worker Ryan. Get a preview with the stills and synopsis from New Girl season 4, episode 8, “Teachers.”

Jess and Coach leave for the weekend to attend a teachers conference. But things get tense when Coach tries to push Jess’ buttons by forcing her to be near Ryan. It doesn’t make a difference anyways because Jess and Ryan end up being partners during the conference. So there’s no where to Jess to hide when they have to work closely.

Coach has his own drama at the conference when he has too much to drink. Which puts him in a dangerous situation when he climbs up high above the pool. Despite trying to talk him down, Coach jumps into the pool. Luckily, Ryan is there to jump in after him and save the day.

Meanwhile, the rest of the loft mates will enjoy some guy bonding time when Jess is out of town. This includes trying to have a crazy weekend with dueling and sangrias.

The synopsis for New Girl season 4, episode 8, “Teachers,” is:

“Jess, Coach and Ryan (guest star Julian Morris) attend a teachers’ conference, led by education guru Brenda Brown (guest star Lisa Bonet).
