Because of DFBFZBZooeys pregnancy, there are four episodes next year where shes not going to be in theZBCXBm, so it was a good time to do a bachelor party episode. Whats good about it is it givZDFBFDZes this season a structure or a shape. It feels like weddings have such a timeline. WhatsB fun for me is the idea that Schmidt is a bridezilla and hes the one who really caZDFres about thnship to explain to any parent. Theres definitely huge parts of both of their lBZives they dont even know about yet. The thing that well explore in season 5 is them BZgetting to know each others families and getting to know each other. There are still issuFDes between them. One of the reasons we had Schmidt propose is we wanted to tellB the audience this relationshipe wedding, the details of it and planning, and that Cece hDFas already been engaged and already had a wedding that fell a part, so she doesnt reallZCy care and shes not really into all of the details.

We only did through episode 4 of season 5, so we havent even begun to tackle the 100th episotionship has been fraught and had a lot of ups and downs. They do love each other and it is the right decision on their part, but it was made so impulsively. Thnetwork was like, What if theres an episode where we learn Schmidts name? and I was like, What? Are you going to promo that? We do actually know it. That was a big development in the writers room last year. It was a huge moment. Its known to the writers, but I dont know when were going to drop that bomb.Nick and Jess now think theres a possibility between them because of the missing sex mug. Where are we picking up with them?We wanted to do something in the finale that felt meaningful, but wasnt hanging over the audience like we were going to go back to that right away in season 5. We had this
