New Girl 3x15 "Exes"

ménage à awkward

Nick Miller is right. Exes can't be friends; one is always more wounded than the other, or still in love. Every time I hear about exes getting along I am flummoxed. Yes, flummoxed. As much as you would want to remain friends with Adam Brody, you can't (why would you ever break up with Adam Brody?)

In order to patch things up with a fragile Caroline, Jess suggests Nick try to be friends with her, because she is such good friends with her ex (jk lol he loves her). But, you guessed it, things went horribly awry: Caroline destroyed Nick's car (not his car) and Berkley professed his love to Jess. But the episode still ended perfectly; Nick admitted that the reason he and Caroline couldn't work out was because he fell for Jess the moment he met her. Yes, it was beautiful. Jess and Nick are so adorable and the writers are doing a perfect job at keeping their relationship compelling and fun while keeping them together (which is a very hard thing to do!) Kudos, Liz Meriwether!

Schmidt was my favorite part of the episode last night, though. He's lost his mojo living by himself. He doesn't know how to converse with girls anymore--only grapes (and cry with them?). Cece suggests that he try and get some more human contact, so he gives Coach and Winston keys to his place (big mistake). They are horny and insane, why would you ever give them full access to your bachelor pad? This obviously culminated in all three men (I use the term loosely) trying to hook up with women in different areas of the loft at the same time. Of course, it was a disaster. But it did help Schmidt out of his slump so...mission accomplished? I wonder how much longer Schmidt will be living by himself? Is it possible that Jess and Nick will be moving in together soon and Schmidt, Winston, and Coach will become roomies?

A hilarious episode, and a great follow up to the craziness that was "Prince".
