This episode got a 9/10 rating from both Kritika and Kelly and we both had the same favorite character: Nick!

While not discussed in the podcast, we noted other references in this episode including:

Boys & Girls Club - Coach made up that Winston has a “little brother” as part of the Boys & Girls Club volunteer program. Ray - Jess shared the only “drug” movie she’s seen was the movie Ray, which Cece points out does not count. Mark-Paul Gosselaar / Slater and Screech - Schmidt is telling Cece she shouldn’t be with a normal guy, when Cece shared she was dating Mark-Paul Gosselaar. This caused Schmidt to freak out and ask if he could come to the wedding and then he wondered if “Slater and Screech are gonna be there”.
