On New Girl Season 4 Episode 5, the gang decides they need a landline phone after years of frustration at the crappy reception their cells all get in the loft. Yes, this is one of the primary plot lines of an episode. Also, Jess discovers on New Girl Season 4 Episode 5 that Coach has been sleeping with a teacher at school. And another teacher at school. Oh yes. Watch New Girl Season 4 Episode 5 Online Much of the media buildup to this installment centered around Julian Morris as Jess’ new love interest, but this was practically an afterthought last night. Not because of anything he did wrong – he Goes In Ya just fine – but because the rest of the gang’s antics were that much funnier from beginning to end.

The landline phone, while this was going on, was complimented by another piece of technology from 1993: The answering machine, Nick’s replacement. When the machine breaks, Nick is quite happy, even withholding information from Schmidt about his important Business, Man interview to make a point. Realizing the error of his ways, Nick has Winston save the day by pretending to be Schmidt on the phone, relishing in his ’90s land line glory and scoring big. At school, Jess apologizes to Coach, who resumes banging the nurse, while the principal says as an administrator, she still can’t date other co-workers. Somehow we doubt we’ve seen the last of Ryan, though …
