“Do you think I’m a good person?” Schmidt asks his roommates at the beginning of this episode of “New Girl.” Schmidt’s still licking his wounds after his two-timing, and reluctant responses from Winston, Nick, and Jess send him into Schmidt Crisis Mode.
Meanwhile, a shady guy shows up with a paper sack for Nick on behalf of his dead father’s estate, and it turns out to hold $8,000. Cut to Winston and Jess at the mall, watching Nick burn through money on ridiculous stuff. Jess wants Nick to slow down, but Winston warns her not to ever talk to Nick about money. Meanwhile, Winston sees this as his opportunity “con” Nick into giving him the $1,900 he owes him.
