Recap / New Girl S 1 E 4

Go To

Jess and Nick's relationship becomes awkward when she walks in on him naked.


Tropes:

  • The Body Parts That Must Not Be Named: Jess cannot spit out the proper words for genitals, referring to them with some Unusual Euphemisms. An exasperated Nick tries to train her to accept them as normal, and she eventually becomes able to say "penis", but at the end of the episode it's shown she still has work to do with "vagina".
  • Home Nudist: Nick has a private habit of dancing naked in his room, which Jess inadvertently comes to learn.
  • Interrupted Intimacy: Jess decides to set things right with Nick by letting him see her naked...but while hiding in his room, he comes in with his coworker to have sex with her. When they spot Jess, chaos ensues.
  • Teeny Weenie: Nick has insecurities over the size of his penis, which is magnified following Jess' reaction to seeing it, to the point of being unwilling to show it to his date.
  • Wardrobe Malfunction: Jess' towel slips off as she tries to rush out of Nick's room.
