After a dozen episodes, hit TV series "New Girl" will air its final episode on March 29. With everyone settled in after Jess' temporary absence, things are again heating up for Jess which often leads to some awkward confrontations.
In the previous episode, Jess was enjoying some moments with Gavin who turned out to be Schmidt's father. The upcoming episode is titled "Sam Again" with the following plot summary from TV Guide:
"Jess' application for a job at a progressive new school may be jeopardized after she learns the principal is dating her ex-boyfriend. Meanwhile, Nick takes ill, so Schmidt quarantines the roommates to keep himself from getting sick before an important presentation."
The upcoming episode will also feature someone from the past: Sam Sweeney (played by David Walton). Sam first appeared in the 2nd season of the TV series wherein he mistook Jess for Katie, his blind date. The former couple reuniting again will most likely dig up some memories in the past.
Spoiler TV posted some promotional photos of the upcoming episode. The photos reveal that Jess gets to meet Sam but in a very different look. Sam now sports a very long beard and wears some traditional clothing. But since Sam is dating the principal in a progressive school, their line of thinking might be at synch with each other. Of course, it might also indicate that Sam was away for a very long time in a different country.
While it should be expected that the episode title is about Jess' ex, is it possible that the title could also indicate some type of reference to Reagan? Nick's supposedly goodbye message with a feeling of goose bumps is "Sayonara, Sammy" for Reagan.
The shortened number of episodes in "New Girl" could also end with some type of cliff hanger. There was no indication about the wedding plans and that might be the focus of what could happen in the next season.
