If you'd like to dive deeper into this episode, tell me if you're interested in: from Nick or Schmidt. The exact script for the "Gave me cookie" monologue.

Jess spends the episode feeling intellectually superior to Cece's model friends, but ultimately realizes she has been a judgmental friend.

Schmidt is hurt because Nick didn't acknowledge his thoughtful gesture of buying him a cookie. The Quote: "Gave me cookie, got you cookie!".

The emotional core of the episode is a heated, bizarrely sentimental argument between Nick and Schmidt.

Jess ends up filling in for an intoxicated Cece as a "car girl" at an auto show, attempting to look "high fashion" by "letting her bones prop her up". Other Highlights

Schmidt buys Jess a "boob-sculpting" bra as a gift for Cece's birthday, which adds to the chaos.
