New Girl A Father's Love

Nick is failing at guessing what is inside a cup and then his father shows up. Jess starts to act what Nick's dad does and is told he is a con man. Nick comes into the kitchen angry trying to fix the sink which no one wants him to do. Schmidt talks to Cece and finds out she is dating an Indian guy her mother set her up with. Jess talks to Nick's dad more and gets invited to the races with everyone. Schmidt spies on Cece and also Robby is caught spying on her as well. Nicks dad then gets Jess involved in his con game especially when they buy a horse. Schmidt and Robby go to the bar and decide to join forces to get one of them back with Cece. Jess is tricked by Walt to give him $5000 to buy the horse. Robby and Schmidt go to Cece's apartment where her family is meeting the family of her new boyfriends. Nick and his dad try to make the deal but Nick goes insane sweating then being made dance to prove he is no cop. He then mentions lying at the deal does not go in. Jess then drives off leaving the two together to talk. Walt and Nick talk about their problems while Jess struggles to drive away in the car. The next day Walt leaves telling Jess to look after Nick while he is gone. Nick wakes up and for once is not mad at his dad leaving. Great work from both Deschanel and Johnson especially. Greenfield and Franklin where great together making a funny episode all together.
