OMG BEST THING TO READ AFTER THE FINALE.

I'm imagining all that bathroom banging was to a techno remix of "You Shook Me All Night Long" bc yes. SCHMIDT'S CODES! CODE WALTER CRONKITE! BONDING OVER BOTANY! You have the show's tone DOWN PAT. I love that Jess came to visit Cece and ended up ruining lives! Code Crash Bandicoot is no joke, Winston!

I just watched the finale so THIS IS EVEYTHING I NEEDED !!!!

"In other words: Jess came back to town, and Nick returned to the dark side like an ousted Jedi Knight.
CRYING ALREADY MICHELLE, you have everyone's voices down but you hit just the right level of ridiculous with Schmidt? Like just everything Code Dante's Peak! Threat Level Chartreuse! Code Purple Rain! I actually can't, everything about this sounds so like them - from the codes which are stll my favourite thing, to Jess remembering her Sound of Music analogy whilst she's fucking Nick in a bathroom, Nick missing that about her. EVERYTHING I NEVER KNEW I NEEDED MICHELLE.
