Why It’s Great<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jess is trying something new by being in a strictly casual relationship with Sam. But, she starts to have real feelings for him and wonders if she should tell him that she wants more from the relationship.<\/p>\n

Nick’s former crush Amelia (played by guest star Maria Thayer from Eagleheart<\/em>) is in town and when they finally get together, he realizes that they’re not as compatible as he expected.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Winston finally ends his relationship with Shelby after trying to make it work for too long and Schmidt realizes he has to accept Cece’s relationship.<\/p>\n

It’s an episode about being honest in relationships that really works. It’s funny and delivers its message with clarity without hitting it too hard.<\/p>\n
