New Girl
Episode 23: Virgins
By: Carlos Uribe
New Girl is a show about Jess and her three best friends (Winston,
Nick, and Schmidt)
Spoilers
Ahoy!
Finally.
Do I
need to say more?
Virgins
ends with Nick and Jess finally having sex. It's the moment we've all
been waiting for after weeks building up to it. They finally had sex.
All of that sexual tension had been killing me and I can die a happy
man now. Finally. It's a great way to end Virgins. It's an episode
that begins with them not having had sex. The group share their
embarrassing stories about how they lost their virginity. The
flashbacks are all funny but the stories are all about sex. It's
specifically about the first time that they've had sex. The episode
ends with Jess going to meet the person she lost her virginity to
when Nick decides to follow his dead father's advice and seize the
moment. He stops thinking, grabs her at the elevator, and takes her
into her room. The two have sex for the first time. The two had a
good time but then they started to think about it. When Jess says
“Ruh roh” we know that this sexual act is only going to
complicate their relationship status even more. The two had decided
on just being friends and yet they keep getting attracted towards
each other. I don't know what's going to happen but I do know that
Virgins was a fantastic episode with a great ending that finally
gives me what I wanted to happen. Finally. I know I'm concentrating
on the ending but this is an episode that was funny from beginning to
end.
The
three flashback stories we get are from the different characters. In
fact, the only story we don't get to see is when Nick lost his
virginity out in the woods. He was crying but he liked it. It's an
interesting decision that his was the story that we got verbatim. As
for Jess? She gave a really long story. It all begins on prom night
when she's with her perfect idea of a date. A man who will ask her
for permission before kissing her or taking her clothes of. Someone
who respected her but she quickly finds that what she wants may not
be what she needs. She may want a sensitive guy but she wanted
someone who would rip her clothes off. A manly guy. She goes out into
the hallway and she does meet a guitar player who would have no
problems giving her what she needs. Only he gets scared away. We then
move forward to when she first moved to the city. She happens to meet
the guitar player at a bar and the two decide to sleep together at
one of those kid's castles. The small ones in playgrounds. The two
have difficulties as the guitar's player's antidepressants makes it
difficult for him to get excited and then the two get stuck. The fire
department is called and Jess ends up sleeping with a fireman. She
considers this shameful but is shocked to learn when it isn't. It's
just like Jess to have a story that requires a prologue and involves
murder. That's right: a hobo gets killed from a nearby bench. The
situation is silly, outrageous, and just so Jess. As for Cece? On
prom night, she happens to meet Mick Jaeger and the two sleep
together. The two believe they have the worst stories of the group
but they quickly find that they are not on top.
The
Schmidt story is definably great due to the physical comedy. He loses
his virginity to his girlfriend in junior year of high school.
There's a few great moments before he tries to sleep with her: he
buys a lot of lube, he pretends his high school nickname as the Sex
Hammer, and he seeks advice from Nick. When the night comes, Schmidt
ends up applying too much lube that he falls down from the bed. Nick
was supposed to go to a Dave Mathews concert but he found himself
stuck in his room due to the hallucinogenic mushrooms he took. The
two try their best to navigate the room. Schmidt to get back on the
bed to have sex and Nick to get the hell out of there. The physical
comedy was simply some of the best that this show has done. Fat
Schmidt, Nick with his younger self look, and the amount of lube
simply had me laughing out loud. The music in the background
(“Anything Could Happen”) simply added to the comedy. It is a
hilarious story. It does have a happy ending when Schmidt goes to
sleep with his girlfriend at the end. He's lost a lot of weight but
she is willing to use his sex box. The two seem like they might be
happy with each other.
The
worst story has to go with Winston but only Nick knows the truth.
Nick's dad took the two of them to a business trip in the city. Why?
Who knows but the two were enjoying themselves when Nick's dad brings
prostitutes for the two of them. Nick figures out pretty quickly that
the two are being paid for their services but he's to scared to
actually sleep with one of them. He's afraid that the FBI will storm
in because he thinks too much. That's when his dad tells him that the
best things in life are the ones you don't think about. It's with
this advice in mind that Nick is able to achieve his desire to sleep
with Jess. Winston is able to seal the deal but he thinks it's his
game that did it. He's devastated when Nick finally admits that the
two girls were prostitutes. It's a bit dumb that he didn't figure it
out by now but I could see why he would be in denial about it. It was
his first time and he thought it was his charm that allowed him to
lose his virginity. Admitting that he would have lost it regardless
would just be crushing to his ego. When he's forced to accept that
they're prostitutes, he doesn't take the news very well. He does get
to sleep with Daisy only he has difficulty performing under pressure
so he has to watch TV while doing it. The only character who doesn't
get into any action at the end is Cece as she decides to wait until
marriage.
Virgins
is simply fantastic. Nick and Jess sleep together but the build-up
worked great. Cece sleeping with Mick Jaeger was great. Jess telling
the super-long version of her story made sense for the character. Fat
Schmidt provided the biggest laughs of the night as did his liberal
use of lube. Winston's prostitute story was simply great as well as
it merged his naivete and self-esteem well. Overall, Virgins was a
great flashback episode. And now we get to deal with the consequences
of Nick and Jess sleeping together. This should be fun.
