Meanwhile, Nick is struggling with his new job as a bartender at a gay bar, where he is supposed to create signature cocktails.

At the same time, Schmidt is dealing with the aftermath of sleeping with Cece's roommate, Nadia. He is trying to keep the relationship a secret, but Nadia is not making it easy. She keeps popping up unexpectedly, and Schmidt is feeling trapped and suffocated.

Winston, on the other hand, is still trying to figure out his place in the world. After quitting his job as a basketball coach, he is feeling lost and directionless. He decides to take up a new hobby, and ends up choosing puzzles. However, he soon realizes that the puzzle he has chosen is way too difficult and becomes obsessed with solving it.

To make things worse, a fire alarm goes off in the building, causing chaos and confusion for everyone.

Despite the challenges they face, the gang eventually comes together to help each other out. Jess gets some much-needed support from Cece, who helps her manage her PMS symptoms. Nick eventually finds a new job and regains his confidence as a bartender. Schmidt finally comes clean to Cece about sleeping with Nadia, and Winston gets some encouragement from his friends to keep trying to solve his puzzle.

In the end, the gang is able to overcome their individual struggles and find strength in each other.
