This podcast covers New Girl Season 4, Episode 6, Background Check, which originally aired on November 4, 2014 and was written by Rebecca Addelman and directed by Lorene Scafaria. 

Here’s a quick recap of the episode:

Winston has to pass his background check for the police academy and wants his friends’ support…but…Jess gets worried because she has a secret!

This episode got a 9/10 rating from both Kritika and Kelly and we both had the same favorite character: Nick!

While not discussed in the podcast, we noted other references in this episode including:

• Boys & Girls Club - Coach made up that Winston has a “little brother” as part of the Boys & Girls Club volunteer program. 
• Ray - Jess shared the only “drug” movie she’s seen was the movie Ray, which Cece points out does not count. 
• Mark-Paul Gosselaar / Slater and Screech - Schmidt is telling Cece she shouldn’t be with a normal guy, when Cece shared she was dating Mark-Paul Gosselaar. This caused Schmidt to freak out and ask if he could come to the wedding and then he wondered if “Slater and Screech are gonna be there”. 

In the podcast, we mentioned this link of a list of funny moments from this episode that we wanted to share with you!
