This podcast covers a recap of the fourth season of New Girl. We’re your hosts, Kelly and Kritika, and we originally met through work but now we consider ourselves long distance best friends. We’ve bonded over our love of TV and brought you this podcast to recap one of our favorite shows -- New Girl.

In Season 4, Jess finds her footing in the dating world and goes through a few different relationships. She helps her dad propose and marry an old high school classmate of hers. Nick in this season finds his footing and supports all of his friends through big decisions. Schmidt spends this season focused on becoming a millionaire and wanting power…until he realizes what he really wants is love and ends up engaged to Cece(!), who while engaged at the end, went on a journey of self discovery this season from attending community college to finding a place for herself, separately from her love for Schmidt. Winston continues excelling at his role as a cadet and eventually a police officer and Coach leans in to his “coach” and educator role until he eventually meets his person, May, and moves to New York with her at the end of the season.

In this recap of Season 4, we break down the themes of each loft mate.

  • Jess - We explore Jess’s relationships, her career and how Ryan influenced her job, as well as saw more of her family.
  • Nick - We discuss how Nick was more of a supporting character this season but how his ambition grew with Schnick Industries.
  • Winston - We examine how Winston’s cop journey progressed as well as how his character is developing further through pranking and goofy moments.
  • Schmidt - We take a look at Schmidt’s struggle to be loved and building a relationship with Cece while being friends. We also discuss his career ambitions this season including wanting to be a millionaire.
  • Cece - We review Cece’s need for growth this season, how she loved Schmidt even when she didn’t know he loved her, and her growing friendship with other members of the loft.
  • Coach - We continue to explore Coach’s storyline with teaching and the relationships he had throughout this season.

Additionally, we discuss our favorite scenes and quotes, “Schmidtisms”, “In the 2020s” segments, pop culture references, and guest stars we had previously featured on the podcast.  We also answered questions from you - our listeners!

This season as a whole got a 7.5/10 rating from Kritika whose favorite character was Schmidt and a 8/10 from Kelly whose favorite character was Winston.

Thanks for listening and stay tuned for Season 5!
