The New New Girl

The newest of the fifth season of New Girl was a momentous one. The main premise of the episode is that Jess has jury duty and at first is really proud and wants to go but then she tries to get out of it in order to be acting principal at her school. The reason this doesn't work is because she got the infamous gilt trip. On the way to jury duty, she meets this really nice guy who shares her love of jury duty. She makes up all of these crazy lies so that they don't pick her to be on the jury and the lawyer, the nice guy Jess met, sees right through her and knows she's trying to get out of jury duty.
Jess ultimately feels terrible for clearly lying to this guy she really likes, in order to be acting principal. Upon being guilt tripped and saying how great she'd be on the jury, Jess learns that the case she's assigned to is out of town and that she'd be gone for a month. So what does she do? She goes home, packs a bag, says goodbye, and makes a months supply of little pieces paper advice from Jess, all put in a bowl.
While Jess is gone at jury duty for the day, the whole loft goes to crap, pardon my language. Winston puts a hammer in the wall, cracking all of the plaster. Nick and Cece fight like cats and dogs. Nick is put up with how much of a slob Cece is and Cece is sick of Nick telling the same story over and over, trying to be funny all of the time. They later realize that these feelings stem from deeper roots. Nick is jealous of Cece because she spends so much time with Schmidt and Cece is jealous of Nick because she feels that she will never know Schmidt as well as Nick does.
In the end Nick and Cece make up, because while they may not know it, everyone in the loft knows that they are both basically the same person. Overall at the end of the episode, the mood is somber because Jess is a vital part of the loft and she's leaving for a month. In the last scene, Winston, Nick, Cece, and Schmidt, all sit on the couch with Jess's bowl of pieces of advice, making fun of them. That's until Winston reads one that says to stop making fun of the pieces of advice and that she knows that they're reading them. The group is weirded out until Winston says that the piece of paper only says to smile more.
