New Girl - Episode 4.10 - Review: "Girl Fight"
Hi everyone, it appears I was wrong in this week's episode being the mid-season finale titled "LAXmas", which occurs next week on December 9th. Last night's episode dealt with Nick's date with Tran's granddaughter while Jess and Cece were caught in the middle of a feud preparing for model Nadia's baby shower. Nadia is the same girl that Schmidt puts ever so eloquently as "the one who broke his heart, right after she broke his penis." Winston was supposed to be studying for the police academy exam, but resorted to creating hanging snowflakes. Coach was the wiser of the group and realized the girls were about to have a huge blowout over a purse that neither said they were going to buy. Enter "the girl fight!"
Nick and Kai appear to be hitting it off after an awkward introduction, concluding their night with pizza and beer on the couch, but they stay on the couch for THREE days! Coach's running gag of hitting the guys didn't really fit his personality, but was an acceptable wake up from the usual "bro" comments. Jess's emoji war with Cece was a strange start to the fight, but we all knew it was going to end in an actual fight. Winston uses his skills as a cadet and believes Kai is homeless. Sure enough, she is found sleeping in Nick's bed underneath newspapers. The plot thickens.
As we head in to the final act, we all know things will culminate for both plot lines, Nick will obviously confront Kai with Winston in the apartment and Jess and Cece will have it out in front of their friends with Schmidt and Coach caught in the crossfire. The 20 years of fights was pretty intense. However, who would have thought the fight would spread to every woman at the baby shower? I'm not usually a fan of low brow comedy, but using the milk pumps as a weapon was surprisingly funny. I'm glad that Jess and Cece were able to hash everything out. Even though you may be friends for years, sometimes little issues swell up inside of you that you keep to yourself and eventually, you have to let them out. Ironically, Nick finds out Kai is a rich consultant..."Sweet baby Lebron James" Winston screwed up, but damn did he get the last punch. Tune in next Tuesday at 9PM when the gang gets stuck at the airport during their holiday travels on an all new New Girl.
