Are you ready to party with Havarti? If so, New Girl’s ‘Bully’ was the episode for you. The episode gave us a look into what it is about Schmidt that keeps CeCe in his bed, and was cheesy in just the right way. We also saw Jess get welcomed into the Real Teacher’s Club because well, she became a kid hater. So lets dig in!
The episode started with CeCe and Schmidt finishing up another romp in the sack or as Schmidt so eloquently put it after ‘she was done sweeping along the current of his body.’ CeCe swears this is the last time and just barely gets out of the apartment before the roomies enter the kitchen. The slamming of the door, and Schmidt in that awesome Kimono prompts Jess to ask if he had yet another sexual guest, and if she’d be a three-peat. Only Zooey Deschanel would get away with saying that.
When Jess gets to her classroom she’s taking a final look at some of her student’s science projects which is where we meet the bully, Brianna, and the bullied, Nathaniel. Nathaniel said kids have been throwing coins down his butt crack, so Jess decides to help. Oh, and she lets him keep the change he made. All 46 cents of it. Her solution? Delivering a lesson in the key of learning which undoubtedly ends up on YouTube. Jess realizes it was Brianna who did it, and although Winston wants her to release the power that is Brown Lightning (his bully nickname) Jess sticks to reasoning.
While all this is going on Nick got a cactus from Julia, which in case you were unaware, clearly means she’s going to break up with him. This sparks a chain of voice mails that made me cringe. Telling her that that he’d grow needles if he lived in the dessert too, and dropping the good ol’ “I Love You” bomb. Everyone thinks he’s reading too far into it, until Julia shows up at his doorstep to, surprise! break up with him. So, Nick gets super drunk and carries around his cactus and joins Jess and Winston at the science fair. But why are they all there?
Well, after trying to reason with Brianna and getting nowhere, Jess in a fit of rage broke her project. Oops! With the help of Winston’s ‘special’ scissors they try to repair it, but it sparks and breaks, causing Jess to ‘fess up to what she did and Winston to call Brianna the seed of Satan. You go Brown Lightning!
Schmidt is noticeably MIA from the gang because CeCe just can’t seem to stay away. After sneaking up to his room with the weirdest excuse ever, a crescent moon, she yet again tells Schmidt it’s the last time. Then, after the most interesting form of seduction, thanks to an extremely weird knowledge of cheese by Schmidt, they end up back in bed.
Later, CeCe brings him to a club where Schmidt realizes that she’s ashamed of him. Getting left in the car like her sex dog will definitely do that to a person. The only reason he behaved like a ‘good boy’ and stayed is because she agreed to let him take her to breakfast the next morning. PUBLICLY! But, it ends up being some kind of senior citizen diner. After complaining that guys always treat her like a prize (has she seen herself?), Schmidt serves her some sincerity and gets the OK to tell the whole diner he’s sleeping with her. Which he does. Oh and some push-ups too.
What do you guys think of Schmidt and CeCe? Now that Nick’s single, will he and Jess get together?
