New Girl 2x15 Recap | "Cooler" (The Final Part)

Season 1 Episode 215

It's the end of 2025 and we've finally made it to our last episode about New Girl's "Cooler" — and this time we're talking solely about that iconic Nick/Jess first kiss.

Jenn (@notajenny) and Jaime (@jaimepoland) obviously have a lot of thoughts about what makes this kiss so unanimously hot and beloved. So they dive into the specifics of the way the kiss is shot and choreographed, praising everyone who works behind the scenes to make romance look... well, incredibly romantic! 

They then talk about why it's so important that one of New Girl's most memorable moments is a romance-forward one and they watch the kiss in real-time to unpack all of their thoughts and feelings — as well as new things they notice still, 12 years later.

Watch along with us! Enjoy, all!

We will be back in 2026 with a lot more New Girl to discuss.
