A New Girl Thanksgiving

BEST.EPISODE.EVER. I laughed throughout the entire thing. I thought every word and every line was portrayed brilliantly and every thing about it was amazeballs.

Jess volunteers for her school's musical with fellow teacher Paul (Justin Long) as they are dressed up in silly Thanksgiving costumes. She invites him over for Thanksgiving dinner. She gets a huge FROZEN turkey and brings it home. The boys are less than amused since they wanted to have a "Dudes-Giving" and drink beer, watch football, then go to Best Buy on Black Friday and buy a washer/dryer. (Good plan men!)

Jess tempts Schmidt by saying she can invite Cee-Cee and he can cook everything. He's all like, "don't you say there is too much tarragon" bahaha. I love him. I really do.
Jess realizes the turkey is not going to thaw out in 3 hours so she does everything she can to warm it up. She hugs it for body heat and finally puts it in the dryer to warm it up. Schmidt is cooking away as Cee-Cee comes over and learns that Schmidt is a germaphobe. She tries to test him by sticking her finger in the corn pudding (nasty) and then licking her finger and going in for round two. Even I am appalled, wincing and begging her not to double dip.

The turkey ends up blowing up causing toxic smoke to ruin Schmidt's clean working environment. They decide to head to the neighbor's since Jess somehow has a key. They set up shop there. Paul is starting to grow on Winston and Schmidt but not Nick. Of course. Nick is clearly in love with Jess. Paul and Nick even go for a car ride to pick up some more supplies and Paul is singing just like Jess, acting just like Jess and Nick is bugging out.

Paul of course asks Jess if her and Nick ever had a thing, and she says no. Then she has a full out yelling match with Nick outside the neighbor's apartment admitting she wants to do bad things with Paul "I want to take him down to China Town and break him off a piece of this Pumpkin Pie" go Jess! She had me in stitches.

Finally, Paul goes to use the bathroom and sees the dead body of poor Mrs. whats-her-name and they have to leave and never get to have Thanksgiving dinner. They end up going to Best Buy sans Paul and waiting on this huge line. When Paul shows up with turkey subs (nice move!) and a guy in the line starts screaming we have a cutter! We see Nick give up his place in line for Paul, or more like his claim to Jess.

Jess and Paul go skipping off and singing together. They are the exact same person and the romantic inside of me starts smiling that she found someone just as weird as she is! I am excited that Justin Long has signed on for 4 more episodes. In TV land that means they can get married, have kids, have an affair and die in such a short time!

Who would you rather Jess be with? Paul or Nick?
