Some think of her as one of the most successful Hindi film stars from the s, some look at her as the ultimate glamour diva and some need a while to clear their minds of the likes of Nargis, Madhubala, Meena Kumari, Waheeda Rahman, Saira Banu before they can recall her.

Cece thinks she might be pregnant, and is terrified of the possibility as she frets over her late cycle with Jess inside her bedroom. They discuss the possibility of a Baby Schmidt and are both disturbed by it as Schmidt walks in to prove why they should be. But, they resign themselves to getting through the weekend without saying anything to Schmidt, until they can confirm once and for all if Cece's pregnant.
Schmidt thinks Cece's been acting weird, and he asks Winston if he thinks that Cece's getting bored with him. But Winston doesn't want to talk about his sex life, and is relieved that he gets called to work with his demanding new boss.
Schmidt is trying to get through to Cece, so he decides to go over to her apartment and ask her out on their first real date - to Italy on Ice. But she snaps at him, saying she can't go because it's an awful time. She urges him to take another girl, and he fights to hide his hurt feelings. He calls Nick, but pretends he's a girl named Nicole as he tries to make Cece jealous.
She arrives at Jess' loft, in tears, while Jess tries to console Russell's daughter, Sarah, because she'd developed a puppy crush on Nick only to find out he had a girlfriend. As Cece pours her heart out over Schmidt, she struggles to focus on both girl's tearful whining. Cece shouts at Sarah to be quiet, gets reprimanded by Jess, and suddenly thinks she'll be a terrible mother, just like her own.
She changes her tune, urging Sarah not to have tantric sex because she'll end up pregnant - which Schmidt overhears. He's thrilled about the possibility of an Indian-Jewish baby with perfect bone structure, and oddly calm about the whole thing. He makes Cece and mocktail, and finds her crying as she stares out the window.
He tells her that he'll support her no matter what, but fears the possibility of impregnating the baby when they have sex again. Over dinner, he considers countless Jewish names to give their baby, and tells Cece he can't wait for how big her boobs are going to get.
Dinner takes a turn for the worst when it's revealed that Nick's new girlfriend is only 18, and Jess once subbed for her high school English class. Nick is mortified while the gang laughs nervously at his expense. Cece runs into the loft when Russell's ex-wife returns to pick up Sarah, ecstatic over getting her period and not being pregnant. She hugs Schmidt, who doesn't look that thrilled, and kisses Ouli.
He tries to hide his disappointment as Cece remarks that they can let things go back to normal, but he quickly urges her inside her car to beat traffic. He breathes a heavy sigh of relief when he realizes she hasn't seen the plane he'd hired to write "Marry Me" in the sky.
He doesn't end up taking another woman to Italy on Ice - instead, he takes Nick, who strangely enjoys it. Nick has gathered everyone on the roof of the loft - Jess and Russell, Schmidt and Cece, and Winston and Shelby - to announce that he's decided to make some changes in his life, including replacing women with growing tomatoes.
The others are barely impressed, but Jess encourages them to keep listening and is supportive of him finally making a decision to do something. He points out how successful his friend's relationships are, reminding Schmidt and Cece that they almost made a baby together, and he says he wants the same thing with his tomato plants as he accidentally squashes one of them with a water can. Schmidt visits Cece's apartment to talk about how they've barely spoken since the pregnancy scare, and Cece admits that she thinks their relationship is getting too intense and wants to stop.
Cece's Russian roommate, Nadia, overhears their abrupt break-up and asks to take out Schmidt, which he thinks is a great idea. Trying to pretend it's no big deal, Cece agrees to let him go. Jess reports to Cece on her awkward dinner date with Russell and Ouli, who exhibit intense passion even though they're now divorced, and Schmidt walks in on them nervously.
Cece tells him that Nadia is excited for their date, and he rubs it in before heading out the door. Jess can't believe she'd let Nadia go out with Schmidt, and urges her to be honest with Schmidt about how she feels about him. She insists that she's fine with the fact that their relationship is over, but Jess doesn't believe her.
Schmidt's date with Nadia is a disaster. They can hardly communicate over dinner, and when Cece sees Nadia at home the next morning, she reports that she left him at the hospital with a serious injury before she left to go bowling with some friends. Cece can't believe her thoughtless roommate, and rushes to the hospital to find Schmidt. She finds him and apologizes profusely, discovering that his injury is a broken penis from having out of control sex with Nadia until there was a moment of blinding pain.
Cece doesn't want to hear it and almost leaves, before professing her feelings and admitting she doesn't want him sleeping with anyone, but she doesn't always know how to say what she feels.
She likes Schmidt, even his personality. They are about to kiss, but Schmidt is too turned on by her. He begs her to leave and find an overweight male doctor to help him. Cece is listening to Joni Mitchell on repeat with Jess, while she questions her decision to end things with Russell.
Cece assures her she did the right thing for herself, and orders her to turn off the music, finally, after listening to it all night long. Nick and Caroline barge in, having made up a dance routine to the song, but it only makes Jess feel even worse because she hates that Nick is back with his ex-girlfriend, who broke his heart. Cece knows this, and takes the lead as they leave Nick and Caroline dancing alone in the room. Cece shows up at the bar dressed in sweats and a knit hat notes Jess, dressed like "a women's studies major" , and Schmidt leaves Jess and Winston at the bar to accuse Nick of "backsliding" into Caroline.
No matter how hard he tries, Schmidt can't stop thinking about sex, which causes him agony as he tries to heal his penis in a cast. Trying to help, Cece is attempting to dress as un-sexy as possible, but it isn't working. Nothing is working, and he's fighting erections all over the place - including while he and Cece watch birds outside his bedroom window, as we see in a quick flashback.
Back at the bar, she announces that she has to visit her Dadi - in Hindi, it's the name for her father's mother. Schmidt loves "bubbies," he says, using the Jewish name, but says that old people freak him out.
So naturally, Cece thinks it's the perfect place for them to spend time together, since he won't get turned on. The next day, they head to the nursing home where Cece's grandmother lives.
When Cece leaves her alone with Schmidt, Dadi warns Schmidt that if he hurts Cece, she'll let herself die just so she can haunt him. He enjoys spending time with Dadi and Cece so much, that he joins her to visit the next day. They play cards with an old, happy couple, and Dadi tells Schmidt that he is exactly what Cece needs. Cece overhears Dadi's conversation with Schmidt, and when Cece and Schmidt are alone again, she admits that, for the first time in her life, she wants a relationship that lasts - and says she wants it with Schmidt.
He tells her that he feels the same way, and he collapses against the chair in agony as his penis throbs inside his cast. Emotional intimacy is turning him on to the point he is in excruciating pain, and she realizes that he cares about her so much that he passes out from the pain.
Schmidt visits Cece at a modelling shoot, and she's disheartened to find out he's now in a hard cast because his penis hasn't healed properly. No matter how sexy she tries to be, there's no chance of him getting aroused while this new hard cast is on. Cece gets called to the set - a sexy scene on the back of a missile, and Schmidt immediately gets jealous of the provocative posing she does with her Adonis-like modeling partner, Gino. After work, Cece heads over to the loft and finds their new roommate, Neil, moving in a box that growled in the elevator.
She tells Jess that Schmidt freaked out at her modeling gig, just as he phones to report that Nick freaked out over his decision to move in with Caroline, drove to the desert, and threw his keys off a large hill. The guys are going crazy by the time Jess and Cece show up, and Cece gives Schmidt a bottle of water before bringing up his jealous reaction to her work.
He nervously calls her a sex worker, and she walks off. Jess refuses to drive Nick back to Caroline's, and they have to wait all night for a tow truck, so they wind up making themselves comfortable for a night of camping in the desert.
They listen to Nick's old mix tapes, and Schmidt notices a flirtatious text on Cece's phone from Gino. He's jealous all over again. Cece, Jess, and Nick are dancing to the Crash Test Dummies, and Nick calls out the gang for thinking he makes stupid choices before walking off to find his keys. Jess finds Schmidt sitting alone and stress-eating meat, and he admits that he doesn't think Cece will ever care about him the way he cares about her.
Jess thinks that's crazy, and Schmidt announces that he's going to have to "White Fang" her - he'll have to force the animal to leave until it's free of him, to be happy. He says he has to do what's best for her, even if it sucks for him. He confronts Cece after Jess goes into the night to look for Nick, and tells her that things aren't working out.
She can tell that he's White Fanging her, and she's irate. Schmidt says he doesn't trust her because she slept with him , which he says doesn't say much about her taste in men. She walks off, angry. The next morning, the gang is dirty and tired, and Cece and Schmidt aren't talking. Jess pretends to have finally located her keys, and the group is relieved to finally be able to go home. They drop Nick off at his new place with Caroline, and Jess' goodbye is the hardest before they drive home.
Cece comes to pick up Jess at her school after she was laid off due to budget cuts. She's sitting there, alone, with her belongings, and Cece agrees to take Jess home but not go upstairs because of the whole Schmidt thing. Schmidt plans a re-launch event after his penis cast comes off, and he feels inclined to invite Cece. He wants to tell her that he still likes her, but she arrives with her new boyfriend, Robby McFerrin. Schmidt is instantly jealous. He starts a fire dance to impress Cece, and almost sets Robby on fire, which infuriates her instead.
They argue after having not spoken for two months, and Cece says they never would have worked because they're far too alike. She tells him that he's going to be fine, reveals that she's with Robby because he's just a good guy, and leaves. Jess is sending sexy texts with Andy, the delivery guy from the bar, and Cece is getting frustrated because Jess can't send sexy texts for the life of her. She tries to help her be flirty and mysterious, but Jess is neither.
Schmidt goes to a party where he knows he'll find Cece, and Cece laughs out loud when she finds out that Schmidt's been telling beautiful women he's Mitt Romney's son. Winston is playing his wingman, and acts as hardened security, dragging Cece away as she rolls her eyes. After being discovered for his ruse, he texts Cece to explain that he's going through a Taylor Swift-like range of emotions, and she comes over to talk to him.
He explains that his dad left when he was eight and had three kids with his new wife, while his mom disconnected from him and started dating women. Cece tells him to forgive his dad and call him, and she lets him rest his head on her chest for comfort. It's Cece's birthday, and Jess shows up on her doorstep with a homemade cake. But Cece refuses to eat it, because she has to be careful what she eats before the car show she has booked for the next day.
Jess can't believe she won't eat cake, and is disappointed to discover that their usual plans for Cece's birthday - hanging in for a girls' night - have been replaced by a party that Cece and the models want to go to. Jess hates clubbing, and Cece reminds her of the time she ruined her birthday, which Jess still insists was her fault for punching her in the chest. Finally, she agrees to go out because she cares about Cece.
Before she goes out, Jess tells the guys that she hates having to hang out with the models to be able to hang out with Cece. She says she should be able to deal with the fact that she think she looks like a monkey from a Russian cracker ad. And once she finally gets let into the bar and finds Cece, Nadia starts singing the cracker ad theme song to an already aggravated Jess. With Cece off talking to a guy, Jess is forced to entertain the models by herself, and she quickly grows tired of dancing like a monkey and hanging out with racist brats.
She insults the models' - and Cece's - intelligence, and Cece overhears. She storms off, and Jess immediately realizes she's said too much. They yell at each other in the lobby of the nightclub, and wind up punching each other repeatedly in the chest. Cece tells her to leave before their fight gets out of hand, and when she heads back into the club, she downs a bottle of vodka to forget about the fight.
Later, Jess is talking to Nick about her fight with Cece, she admits that she was always disappointed in Cece for calling the modeling scout back in high school. Both she and Nick are confronting the reality that if they had met Schmidt or Cece later in life, they probably wouldn't be friends with them. The next morning, Jess arrives at Cece's apartment to apologize, and finds her puking and hungover after her disastrous birthday night out. She has a job booked that she can't miss, and she forces Jess to take her to the hangar.
She's desperate not to lose the job, so Jess steps in for her. Cece fights the persistent urge to be sick. Cece watches, mortified, as Jess is overdone with hair and make-up, but can't find her feet in the five-inch stilettos on the spinning platform. She winds up locking herself into the car being showcased, until she finally finds the way out and crashes to the floor, bungling her one line.
She's forced to recognize that Cece's job isn't as easy as she thought. They make amends, and head back to the loft for birthday cake and movies with the guys. Jess asks Cece if she thinks they'd still be friends if they met today, and Cece shrugs. Cece is shocked to find out that Sam , the guy Jess has recently started seeing, is a pediatric doctor. She knows that Jess is starting to like him. She's brought Robby over to the loft because Jess is making his Ninja Turtles costume, and Schmidt walks in.
He's still jealous of Robby, and invites he and Cece to his Halloween party. Cece tries to find an excuse why they can't go, but Robby says he's happy to have more places to wear out his costume and says they should go. At the Halloween party, Cece and Robby are riding the merry-go-round when Schmidt barges in, getting on the back of Cece's horse. Her white dress and his top hat and tails - he's Abe Lincoln - makes them kind of look like a bride and groom, as Robby jovially points out.
He's oblivious to Schmidt's constant insults. She's forced to fight off other guests who think she's come with Schmidt, and she loses it. She tells Schmidt he has to go home and change before Robby steps in to calm the situation down. He tells Schmidt he's not going anywhere, and manages to block three attempts by Schmidt to headbutt him. But, when he realizes that he has to be friends with Robby if he's going to be friends with Cece too, Schmidt calls a truce and gets ice cream cones with Robby and Cece.
As the carnival winds down, Cece and Robby are playing a game when Schmidt arrives, giving most of his costume to Robby so that he and Cece can be the bride and groom. He reveals his back-up costume, a sexy stripper - underneath. Schmidt has crashed another one of Cece and Robby's dates, but he's come to tell them about the sexual advances of his new boss, Emma. Cece's uncomfortable with the conversation, and Robby tells Schmidt that he should be trying to find a nice girl - like he has in Cece.
Both she and Schmidt balk visibly at the suggestion that she's a nice girl, but Robby doesn't waver. Later, she shows up at Schmidt's to complain that if Robby thinks she's a nice girl, he doesn't really know her - not like Schmidt does. She flirts with him, and Schmidt kisses her. But she thinks about Robby's feelings and pulls away, though he promises that he'll never stop trying to kiss her. She is a nice girl, and they both know it.
It's Thanksgiving, and Cece is over at the loft while Jess prepares to host. Her parents are visiting from Portland, but Jess has tricked them into spending time together despite the fact they can't get along. Cece can tell right away that Jess has set yet another Parent Trap in a bid to reunite her parents, who've been divorced since she was a child, but Jess tries to play innocent.
But after turning on the Cat Stevens, Jess can no longer deny it. She's determined now to complete the trap, and she pulls in Nick to help her, so Cece joins Schmidt, his cousin, also Schmidt, and Winston on the roof. They're getting progressively drunker, and Winston suggests a competition to determine "the one true Schmidt" that Cece is all too happy to support.
Later, she joins Jess to give her mother, Joan , a makeover, trying to say that they're just practicing for Cece's "plan B" - beauty school. In the living room, Nick and Jess' dad, Bob , are discovering just how alike they really are. Joan takes the opportunity inside Jess' room to question Cece about something she's been digging for answers to for over a decade.
After some disastrous dinner prep, Cece, Nick, and Jess catch Bob and Joan making out in the washroom, and Jess thinks her parent trap has finally been successful. The battle for the title of "One True Schmidt" has gotten progressively more competitive, and the gang looks on while they fight over perfect dinner plating. Finally, Cece suggests that the only way to be the "One True Schmidt" is to be secure enough in you masculinity to kiss another guy.
She suggests Winston. Before dinner begins, Schmidt gives Winston an after-dinner mint as Jess gives a toast. But Cece's initial instincts, that Jess' parents weren't going to get back together, were right, and Bob and Joan insist it was just a hook-up. Joan again insists that Cece scratched her van, and Jess says she didn't mean to, so Cece's forced to reveal that the only reason she was driving Joan's van was because Jess accidentally ate a pot brownie.
The dinner table begins to devolve into an argument until Jess shuts it down, insisting all she wants is a family with her parents back together. She tosses the turkey in the sink and sulks off into her bedroom.
After dinner, Schmidt and Schmidt both try to kiss Winston, but after Schmidt fails, his cousin is successful. Winston is mortified, and Schmidt is happy to relinquish the crown of "One True Schmidt. As Bob and Joan are saying their goodbyes, Cece tells Joan she's glad to have the truth out in the open after all these years as Joan pulls her in for a hug. When they're close, Joan promises to kill Cece if she ever gives Jess drugs again.
Pulling away, she smiles, and Cece is terrified. Cece is over at the loft, eating dinner with Jess, Nick, and Sadie and her wife, Melissa. They're celebrating Sadie and Melissa's five-year anniversary. Sadie is trying to reveal to the group that they're expecting a baby, but they're completely distracted by Schmidt, who's loudly trying to satisfy his boss, Emma, in his room.
As they're all forced to listen in on his sex games, Cece admits that she knows what happens next, and warns the others to cover their ears. Sadie remarks that she feels lucky to be pregnant considering her age, which causes Jess, who's 30, to freak out that her eggs might disappear before she's ready to have a kid someday. Cece, on the other hand, is nowhere near ready to start thinking about having kids, and assumes she doesn't even want them.
Sadie, who is an OB-GYN, tells the girls about a test that can count their eggs, and Jess doesn't waste a second signing them both up for it. When the results come back, Jess is terrified, but her eggs are just fine. Cece, on the other hand, has a much smaller window of opportunity to be able to start a family. She's mad at Jess, because suddenly something she wasn't supposed to worry about is all she can think about. She's suddenly totally stressed out about the course of her future, but Jess suggests that they spend the day being guys and not caring about anything, just talking about sharks and making everything wireless.
Schmidt is unable to satisfy Emma, and he discusses how easy it was to satisfy his last girlfriend, Cece. Emma points out that what he's describing is love, but he's not so sure. Regardless, she declares their sex contract void and sets him free.
They go to the zoo, where they find Winston and an obliterated Nick. Cece knows she'll probably have to break up with Robby, and she's feeling sad. He joins them at the zoo, and as kids race by them, she asks if he wants kids. He says he does - in about ten years. Cece knows that's too long. Schmidt is talking to himself in the bathroom mirror, pretending he's talking to Cece about how much he misses her, when Nick walks in.
He finally realizes, and admits to Nick, that he's in love with her. Cece joins the gang at Nick's bar, and makes Schmidt's night when she announces that she and Robby have broken up.
But Cece says that she has to get serious about her future or her mother would set her up with a long line of available Indian men. Schmidt mocks arranged marriages, but Cece shuts him down, telling him that's how her parents met, adding that they had a loving a successful marriage.
Schmidt goes to Cece's apartment to give her a present, but she says it's not a good time. She opens the box and reveals a pigeon - because he can't find a dove - and tells Cece that he's been in love with her for a long time. The pigeon takes off into Cece's apartment. He tells Cece that he'll have kids with her if that's what she wants, but Cece says her family will hate him because he's Jewish, among the many other things they have going against them.
But he asks her to go to dinner with him anyway, and she agrees. But he's forced to stay late at work with his boss to work on an advertising account for a new vodka, so he shows up at Cece's apartment really late and really drunk. He passes out on her lap on the couch, even though he swears he's ready to be with her, and when he's asleep she calls her mom and leaves a voicemail.
She's finally ready to be set up. When Schmidt gets back to the loft the next morning, he's devastated by Cece's decision. He finds Jess and Winston in the midst of their ruse to hide the fact they ruined his suits, but he doesn't even care. Jess pulls Schmidt aside when they get to their first of several Christmas parties, for the night.
She's invited Cece, and Schmidt hasn't said a word to her since she got in the car. Jess is irate at him, but he's upset at Cece, and Cece asks to talk to him later as she makes herself scarce inside Sadie and Melissa's condo. Schmidt is having a terrible time at the party, and grimaces as Cece approaches. But Jess spots Dr. Sam, who she hasn't seen since they parted ways on Halloween, and she uses Schmidt and Cece as a shield. Schmidt and Cece argue over why Dr. Sam would be at the party, ignoring Jess, who's freaking out and suddenly wants to leave more than anything.
They gather Nick and Angie, then find Winston talking to Dr. Sam about the cranberry he has stuck in his ear. They yell at Winston to come with them, because they're "Irish good-bying," and they make their way to a party at one of Schmidt's friends' all-glass mansions.
