6. Thanksgiving

Jess invites Paul ( Justin Long ), a teacher at her school on whom she has a crush, for Thanksgiving dinner at the apartment. Everyone there warms to Paul, except for Nick. Cece becomes attracted to Schmidt while he is cooking the dinner. Jess has bought the frozen turkey too late, and tries various methods of thawing it. While warming it in the tumble dryer, the turkey catches fire. Jess takes the group into the apartment of her neighbor, Mrs. Beverly, whom she believes is visiting her sister. Paul finds Mrs. Beverly dead on her toilet. The group go to a Black Friday sale.
