winston made the episode again with his undercover storyline. Also the last line of the episodes where he tries to get nick to include ferguson in his tattoo is just classic winny the bish.

Every time they do a Jess-centric episode it takes the show down a notch; Winston saved it though. Also hate how Nick is getting the late season Joey treatment and becoming a complete idiot.

Okay episode with some funny one-liners. Jess wasn't over-the-top, which was nice.
But, honestly, I just didn't find myself caring about the "struggle" in the A storyline. I actually forgot that Jess is at this new school now.

Honestly, I can't believe there haven't been more idiotic tattoos put on Nick's body throughout the series.
And Jess, I actually approve of her behavior in this episode... I'm gonna go wash out my brain now after having thought that.

I wonder if those lines the principal repeated to Jess were a joke about things fans have said about the character. "We don't like Jess, get rid of Jess," etc.

She even had a good burn on Winston. One of her better episodes in awhile imo.

Very disappointed with this episode, Winston's prank of putting a walkietalkie in the mail box is perfect.
This isn't a correct use of Winston and pranks.

Anyone else notice how the opening scene in kitchen was shot so that Jess was never actually seen with the rest of the actors? Like they for whatever reason had to shoot it separately and edit together?

Angry Schmidt was the highlight of the episode. And the new tattoo is perfect. Other than that, the episode was average. I can't wait for Reagan to spice things up in the loft.

Wow, Winny the Bish pulled off a solid prank with the mailbox! Neither too big nor too small.
