THEY FINALLY DID IT!

NICK AND JESS KISSED!

THEY DID THE TONGUE TANGO!

AND IT WAS HOT!!!!

And watching it on my DVR.

Multiple, multiple, multiple times.

Now THIS is the way to bring two characters together after a season and a half arc.

And Lord, was it hot.

Youll thank me).

Dr. Who and Rose unrequited love hot.

Ok, ok I know, the rest of the episode, right.

Ironically, the episode starts out with Nick in a ladies trench coat that was misdelivered to the loft.

He wears socks when he runs out of underwear.

Right, right, the episode.

Jess wants to come too.

Nick kicks her out and tells her shes his Cooler (she is, but she ISNT yea-ah).

Jess looks at him with big, blue wounded eyes but he stands firm.

She shuffles out, doing her best Bambi imitation in her sadness.

The boys do an awkward going-out dance before hitting the town and head to some fantastic club.

Cut to all three sitting at Nicks bar, nursing beers.

They were kicked out of the club because of Nicks trench coat.

Nick still refuses to take it off.

Suddenly, a hot tall redhead walks into a bar.

All three men pounce.

Winston tries to speak, fails and slinks off.

He sits next to a cute Asian chick who tells him his performance was pathetic.

He stutters at this one as well, until she shows him an engagement ring.

Suddenly, he can speak!

Nick, being the epitome of sad sacks of crap is doing well and Schmidt is befuddled.

Then…the COOLER strikes!

He yells at her, saying Cooler!

She says, I need you.

Cut to Nick, Winston, Schmidt, Daisy and the red-haired chick bursting into the loft.

Oh, the awkwardness.

Fortunately, awkwardness is easily dispelled by that drinking game of all drinking games: True American.

I still have no idea how this game works.

Neither does anyone else, including I believe the rest of the loft.

They stare at each other, she in her bra and a tutu (what?)

and he in his trench coat.

Meanwhile, Winston and Daisy hit it off underneath a table.

They hook up in an unsurprising turn of events.

What a lovely pairing.

Good job, Fox for your token multiracial casting.

It sort of works until she tells him that he sounds more depressed than sad.

He tells her no!

Hes totally OVER the hot model, but he needs the redheads help to move on fully.

Jess had texted her about something scary.

She helps Schmidt get laid by telling him she loves him.

Her date is weirded out and leaves.

She grabs a beer can and doesnt seem to care.

No, but whatever, Ill let it go).

Jess keeps telling Nick to kiss her, just kiss her already!

Until Nick bursts out, No!

Jesss blue eyes widen in a similar whaaaat?!

Once Nicks inside, everyone goes off to their respective beds (with their respective bedmates).

Then he smiles, kisses Jess himself and says, hes doesnt know what hes missing.

The episode is not yet over!

Jess hears a scratching at the door and she calls for, who else, Nick.

He comes out to save her by opening the door.

Its a St. Bernard!

He does, albeit reluctantly (but he DOES IT).

Untrenched, Jess and Nick wander back to the hall where their rooms are across from each other.

They share banter about Trench Coat Nick.

She turns away, but then HE GRABS HER!

He pulls her into his arms with a ferocious, come here woman expression!

She clutches him and boy do they Go.

Like, a lot.

A lot, a lot, a lot.

Talk about pent up repressed feelings finally being let out in one fell make out session.

Cut to a shot of dummy Nick on the floor, its melon head burst open, contents spilled.

THEY KISSED!!!
