Welcome to season 2 of New Girl, everyone! It's a jam-packed season of romantic tension, character growth, and unexpected surprises. And it all starts with the season's double premiere of "Re-launch" and "Katie"!

Jenn and Jaime (@elspunko) are joined by their friend Amanda (@fangirlw_oChill) to talk about the fallout from Schmidt and Cece's breakup in season 1, Jess being laid off, the introduction of Dr. Sam, and a Nick/Jess-centric season opener that sets the stage for what will happen later on.

Enjoy, everyone!
