‘New Girl’ season 2, episode 19 preview: Jess wants Nick … but how much?

Who ever knew that the sight of Nick Miller yanking a chain at a hardware store could be so … alluring? This is something that we are going to see during Tuesday night’s new episode of “New Girl,” which, like so many episodes before it at this point, really has the potential to progress the Nick / Jess relationship forward in a pretty significant manner.

As for whether or not it will, that’s an entirely different story. Ever since the two parties kissed, Jess in some shape or form has been unable to get Nick out of her mind. This will manifest in the episode with multiple conversations with Cece (who has to be getting rather tired of this at this point), and there may also be a few longing stares thrown in there for good measure.

There is clearly some mutual interest there (as she has flirted with him as of late in order to get her way in “Parking Spot”), but at the same time there are also a bevy of problems. For one, can these two really handle living together and also dating? It appears that the answer for the time being to this is “no,” since it was explained at PaleyFest this past week that the pair are probably not ready to date right now. While we’re happy that there was some major progression with the relationship already this season, this is a show with a potentially long life ahead. With that in mind, you have to imagine that they will take their time building Nick and Jess along.
