Plot summary
Jess walks in on Nick in his bedroom, not realizing that he would be naked. She laughs, then leaves the room. This ruins his self-confidence with Amanda ( Lake Bell ), a new co-worker with whom he is intending to have casual sex. Amanda takes Nick to her apartment, where he is too uncomfortable and distracted to take his clothes off because of Jess' earlier intrusion and Amanda having a photo of Barack Obama on her bedroom wall. Cece suggests to Jess that Nick seeing Jess nude would solve the problem by leveling the situation.
Jess is in Nick's room, wearing only a towel, intending to show him her naked body in order to level things. When Nick brings Amanda to his bedroom, Jess hides. Nick sees Jess trying to crawl out of the room unnoticed while he and Amanda are undressing. All three are horrified, and Jess hurriedly leaves – her towel accidentally falling to the floor as she does so. Amanda leaves, having been scared off. Schmidt feels deprived due to not having seen Nick's genitals, and repeatedly makes failed attempts to see them.
To ace a job interview, Winston tries to brush up on pop culture of the past two years. Schmidt informs him that the country is broke; that Betty White is back, but all the other Golden Girls are dead. Winston watches The King's Speech, The Human Centipede, Precious and David After Dentist.
