Argh! I really really wanted the episode to finish in a different way but I guess it ended the way it did and it left us holding our breath just like the characters were holding theirs.
So Jess and Nick are finally happening ... or so we think!! They are still in a really awkward stage, and the awkwardness just makes them even more cuter together. Nick goes to Stan or whatever that Japanese munk's name is and well apparently he gets the advice from his to ask Jess on a date. Well he does go and ask her but only to grab food and not specifically saying the word date ... expected.
Nick seeks advice from Schmidt and he suits Nick up and Winston shaves off Nick and man did he look cute. He also lends him his car and Nick sets off. Jess is standing near a hot dog stand cos of course she doesn't expect anything fancy from Nick but I guess she was surprised when she saw him in a suit, all shaved and off they went to dinner.
Nick didn't want to admit this was a date, to which I wanted to punch him in the face! But then in comes Jess' ex Russell and boy does he bring some action. Nick and Jess decide to go have a drink at the bar instead of dinner. After some drinks though they admit they are on a date so they go back to having dinner, Russell is at their old table and they just push him aside ever so sweetly. .. maybe. As Russell is about to leave he leaves them with a comment, you two are something and well Jess and Nick are not happy with that answer so they go out and run after him yelling out to explain what he meant by that comment.
Russell makes them write on a paper what the night means to both of them separately and when they finally write down each others answers Russell just puts him in his pocket and we never get to know what Jess and Nick wrote on that paper! Argh! And after that it all goes down the drain because they go back to being room mates who are attracted to each other. The last part was so cute, funny and sad at the same time. Previously Nick had told Jess that when she comes complaining about her not managing to open a jar it's sexy and likewise she says that he's hot when he tilts his head back to reveal his jaw line. They both do those things and pfft Nick walks Jess to her bedroom and they say good night and close each other's doors behind them and breathes in heavenly and that's it! I was expecting MORE! ! ! Argh!
Meanwhile whilst all this is happening, Nick never told Schmidt and Winston who the girl is who he's going with but Schmidt figures out its Jess and it terrifies them both because apparently they are nothing without Nick. So they try to come up with ideas to sabotage their date and Winston brings up a past bad date of his when a homeless dude with an open shirt interrupts their date and sings to them right there in the place in front of the table they were sitting at. Totally gross, so they set off to find a homeless dude which they do and they make a deal with this dude. In turn of sabotaging Nick and Jess' date they have to give him a sandwich and 25 minutes of tv but as soon as this guy enters there apartment he goes and locks himself in the bathroom and enjoys all the benefits that he cannot get since he's homeless. Anyways Schmidt and Winston share a moment when Schmidt falls down from the roof's window which is on top of the bathroom and well I guess they discover they don't need Nick.
Wonder what Jess and Nick wrote on that paper, must have been good since Russell didn't show them but WHY!
