"Cabin" is the twelfth episode of New Girl's second season.
Jess invites Nick and Angie to accompany her and Sam on a weekend away at a cabin. Meanwhile, Schmidt worries that Winston is not his "blackest self" around them.
Tropes in this episode:
- Intoxication Ensues: Jess chugs a ton of absinthe, which results in drunkenness very quickly. Nick follows suit later.
- Mistaken for Junkie: To prank Schmidt, Winston pretends to be craving crack, so he and Schmidt drive down to the hood to get some.
- Not Staying for Breakfast: Angie ditches Nick at the cabin before he wakes up. She left a handwritten note and took some of his personal belongings.
- Power Outage Plot: Jess accidentally blows out the power at the cabin, so the four of them have to make do with blankets and absinthe.
- White Guilt: Schmidt feels guilty for stifling Winston's blackness. Winston thinks it's hogwash but humors him anyway.
- The Whitest Black Guy: Schmidt feels that hanging around his white roommates means Winston isn't being his authentic black self.
