"Tough time in Schmidtsburgh."
— Schmidt
"Double Date" is the third episode of New Girl's third season.
Nick and Jess find out that Schmidt is seeing both Cece and Elizabeth, and pressure him to tell Cece. Winston tries to get the gang a table at a trendy new restaurant.
Tropes in this episode:
- Angrish: When she finds out he's cheating on Cece, Jess is so furious at Schmidt that eventually all she can do is scream, "YOU CRUM BUM!" Even she looks confused by what she's saying.
- Groin Attack: Thinking that Nick is cheating on her best friend, Cece punches him in the groin.
- Pie in the Face: When his infidelity is revealed, Elizabeth drives her pie into Schmidt's face.
- Third Wheel: The recently-single Winston inserts himself into his friends' already awkward double date plan, making him the fifth wheel.
