A lovely 1st Christmas episode for New Girl and would have probably been my favorite episode so far if they wouldn't have done Paul's character so dirty. It felt extremely out of character for Paul to say he couldn't slow down for Jess, when all of the previous build up had been them getting along fantastically with Paul being very caring and what looked like a perfect match. This episode just felt like poor planning by the writers; they shouldn't have had Jess' first partner back be such an excellent match for her, but maybe that's the point. Besides that whole plot line, a very enjoyable episode.
