New Girl - Episode 4.09 - Preview: "Thanksgiving IV"

Hi everyone, and if you're in America, have a Happy Thanksgiving this Thursday! In the traditional spirit of New Girl episodes focusing on holidays, this week's episode is titled "Thanksgiving IV." Last year, the gang decided to go camping for Thanksgiving with some unwanted experiences in tow. This year, the gang tries a different approach. Schmidt decides it will be a sex-filled Thanksgiving with everyone being required to bring an attractive partner for someone else in the loft. The synopsis calls it a "Bangs-giving!" Jess wants to invite Ryan to spend more time with him and see if there are true feelings on her side, but is set on following the school rules of not fraternizing with a coworker. Coach puts it ever so eloquently with how he feels with being set up with someone from the police academy. "You should have warned me you were setting me up with one of the guardians of the galaxy!"

Nick ends up picking his own name out of the "Sex-giving" hat and decides to bring Tran to the party. He also becomes jealous when Schmidt is set-up with a girl from his gym, Lucy, that he had previously slept with months earlier. The quick flashback of him in said gym is hilarious. Coach ends up bringing Ryan for Jess because he is tired of her playing it straight and not being reckless from time to time. Let's just say that awkward hilarity ensues as the night progresses with each couple trying to handle their partners' idiosyncrasies. Tune in tomorrow night at 9PM to see how the Thanksgiving-themed episode plays out and check back here for my review within a day or two.
