They must bring a single friend for whoever’s name they pull out of the hat.

Things get crazy when Coach invites the teacher Jess is trying to not have feelings for. Of course, it’s “New Girl,” so there’s lots of other insane antics.

“Orange is the New Black”

“F*cksgiving” (Season 1 Episode 9)

This is the first holiday episode of the show. Piper is feeling down from having to spend her first holiday in prison, but the other inmates are helping her get through the day.

Piper is looking forward to visiting with her fiancé later in the afternoon. First, she attends a release day party.

One of the other inmates doesn’t like this, so she reports it to the inmate counselor, who happens to have feelings for Piper.

Another moment of chaos is when Chandler wants to kiss Monica at midnight on New Year’s Eve, but he doesn’t want to blow their secret.
