The New Girl season 5 premiere “Big Mama P” just finished airing! Here are the top moments that have us excited for more!
The wedding party is chosen
Schmidt and Cece begin their wedding planning by choosing their maid of honor and best man, Jess and Nick. Schmidt goes for the dramatic proposal to Nick by getting down on one knee and asking for his best friend to be the best man. What Schmidt doesn’t know is that Winston paid Nick to turn him down so that they could see how he reacted, and it was totally worth it.
Cece does a bit of pranking herself and keeps Jess on the edge of her seat. When she finally does ask, Jess screams in excitement. Then everyone admires their wedding party bling that Schmidt had custom made.
Nick’s mistake
Nick only has one job on the day of Cece and Schmidt’s engagement party, to pick up Cece’s mom from the airport. He makes it there on time, but accidentally leaves with the wrong woman. Not-mom doesn’t speak English and seems to think that Nick is a taxi, until she starts worrying he might be out to kill her. So Mrs. Parekh has to get a taxi and get to the party herself. Which doesn’t help with her anger that Cece didn’t tell her about the engagement.
Meeting Mrs. Parekh
Despite Nick picking up the wrong woman, Mrs. Parekh manages to make her way to the party anyways. Before anyone can stop him, Schmidt goes up and gives her a big hug. She isn’t afraid to crush his dreams and tell him that Cece never told the family about the engagement and she strongly disapproves of them being together. Mrs. Parekh just can’t understand why Cece couldn’t find a husband within their own nationality, she even breaks down how large of a pool of eligible bachelors there are in India.
Jess on wheels
After Jess falls down the stairs and injures both of her legs, she’s bedridden. However when she hears how much the gang is messing up the party, she springs into action and army crawls into their neighbors loft to borrow his power scooter. Her mobility may be limited, but her spirit is not!
Bollywood style
Early on Jess knew that Mrs. Parekh would have a hard time with Cece and Schmidt being together, which is why she planned to bring out the romantic in her with bollywood dance. Jess hopes that it will remind her of the time that her own engagement was disapproved of. Schmidt and Nick even join in on the dance, which is hilarious to watch, but doesn’t sway Mrs. Parekh.
Despite really wanting her mothers blessing, Cece says that she’s going to marry Schmidt anyways. Luckily, they get the blessing from Jess, Nick, and Winston. Still, Schmdit promises Cece that they will get her mother on board with the wedding. For now, they need to re-evaluate how much money they have to pay for the wedding without help from Cece’s family.
