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.
