Plot[]
Nick and Jess wake up
After a crazy night, Jess and Nick wake up in their bed with a hangover and a phone call for Jess. She starts to say that sometimes, she imagines their little kid living near a lake, and asks Nick if he ever thinks about their future. Nick tells her that he does (but he seems like he's never thought about it) but then they start to dress because they're running late for a birthday party where Jess is one of the godparents.
Coach and Schmidt "help"
Nick tells Jess that he already thinks about the future and tells her that he wants to be a driver in space as she and her children live on Mars Landing. She asks Nick where the gift, that she tells him to make up, is and then he shows it's still in the box.
Winston, Coach and Schmidt met the new girls in the building and after they found out that only one of them is single, Schmidt and Coach start to fight each other. Meanwhile Winston helps with the girls' stuff.
Nick and Jess try to put the pieces of the toy together and after knowing how to put it together, they start to argue again, Jess brings up that his idea of their future together is stupid and after they run out of tape, Nick try to put the pieces together by burning it, but he burns his finger and put the lighter in the blanks and starts to fire up. Nick and Jess keep fighting and then they realize, about the fire and start fighting again.
