- Nick and Jess decide if they want their relationship to continue. It's Cece's wedding day and Schmidt thinks she does not want to go through with it. He gets Winston & Nick to help sabotage the wedding. Shivrang has his own big announcement.—Bernie
- Before the wedding, the gang poses for a picture, but Bob mocks Nick's Miami Vice' suit and it dissolves into bickering.
At the wedding, Nick has changed into Schmidt's worst suit. Jess hopes Nick isn't going to the effort because of what her dad said. "I don't think you're an unemployable, alcoholic bummer. I don't think you're a child," Jess says. "When did he say that?" Nick says.
Jess goes to find Cece, air kissing Nick good-bye.
The ceremony involves Shivrang coming in on a white horse and lasts for three hours. Remembering his weak bladder, Elizabeth reminds Schmidt to pee first.
Jess gives Cece a pep talk before her wedding. Schmidt barges in and sees a look on her face that he interprets later as meaning she wants to back out of the wedding. Jess warns Schmidt not to meddle or she'll bust him.
When she leaves, Schmidt recruits Winston to sabotage the wedding.
As Shirang rides in slowly on his horse, surrounded by his dancing relatives, Nick goes to Schmidt and tells him to call it off because it matters to Jess. Schmidt calls him out for wearing a suit, carrying Jess' purse and wearing deodorant under both arms. He tells Nick that either Jess will like the real him or she won't.
Schmidt says he'll call it off, then commands Winston to blast an air horn. The horse rears up and takes off with Shirvrang on it. But he comes back in time for the ceremony.
Cece is walking down the aisle to traditional Indian music when suddenly it switches to "Cotton Eyed Joe." Cece finds Nick at the soundboard and thinks he's behind the music switch, even though he was trying to stop Winston. It's Nick's CD and it makes him compulsively fist pump. She doesn't believe him when he says he had nothing to do with it and calls it childish. He gets angry and goes to Schmidt and Winston, signing up for phase three.
Schmidt comes to get Jess during the ceremony. "We went too far, it's bad. It's really bad," he tells her. She follows him and is horrified to learn it was Winston's idea. Winston is in the airducts with a badger. Nick is with him. Jess tortures Schmidt by messing up his hair and he says something about "when Nick got involved." She realizes Nick wasn't always in on it and Schmidt says Nick said something about Jess meaning too much to him.
Jess calls Nick and while grappling for it, they somehow let the badger loose. They roll around in the ducts screaming looking for it. Schmidt boosts Jess up to join them in the ducts. She finds Nick and he's upset that she thinks he's going to screw everything up. "This is where I belong! With Winston and a badger," Nick says.
Downstairs during the ceremony, Cece and Shivrang walk the seven circles around the altar. Cece tells him not to walk so fast.
Up in the ducts, Nick forces Jess to admit there's a small part of her that is scared them being together is a mistake. She's about to say something meaningful when Jess and Nick come crashing through the ceiling, followed by a badger, crushing the altar.
Jess addresses the crowd, warning them there might be a badger loose. She tries to fix things, but Cece stops her. She calls off the wedding, saying she wants to be with someone else as she looks at Schmidt. Elizabeth sees. Shivrang admits he wants to be with someone else and talks to Elaine in the crowd. She's a Presbyterian (played by Taylor Swift). Then rush into each other's arms and run off planning to go to Vegas and elope. "I feel slightly rejected," Cece says, "but I feel better than I have in a long time."
After the chaos and crowds have cleared, Nick tells Jess they should "call it, it's not like we're in love or anything." "Ok, let's call it, I think that feels good to me. That feel good to you?" she says. She walks away.
In the hallway, Schmidt tries to convince Elizabeth that he sabotaged Cece's wedding as a friend. Cece walks up and they make him choose between them. He wants to take the night to listen to his Coldplay CD. They want him to decide. He runs.
Nick settles in at the bar for a beer. Winston gets out of the duct and joins him. He has a badger bite. Nick tells him about Jess and his plans to drink, because that's his move. "That was also your dad's move, when things get messy you just run away. But, you know, there are other moves. Go!" Winston says.
Nick runs outside and finds Jess. Before he can say anything, she tells him she doesn't want to give up and wants to uncall it. "Before you say no -- don't say no," she says. He runs to her and they kiss, then get in her Volvo and drive off.
