Sattler, 21, said she was worried when the Final Jeopardy category was revealed: African Countries. Now the former Bonita Springs resident moves to the semifinals in the “Jeopardy!” High School Reunion Tournament. Thanks to a long-ago reading assignment from her ninth-grade English teacher, Sattler said she knew the answer to the final clue immediately. His quick and almost passive acceptance of this part of himself shows how much he’s grown from the self-conscious person he used to be in previous seasons.Contestant Claire Sattler wrote those words with her Final Jeopardy answer Monday on the TV game show “Jeopardy!” Just as he realized that the “willies” are actually panic attacks in an earlier episode, this time he learns that his inability to build puzzles stems from a normal condition that he never even knew he had. While the emotional beats of the story lie elsewhere, Winston becomes a pillar of calmness for the gang, refusing to be taken aback by anything, even learning about his own color blindness. Toward the end of the episode, he and the others realize that he is colorblind, which partly explains how he could possibly be so terrible at building puzzles. Amidst all the craziness happening around him, Winston takes a laid-back approach to the episode and enjoys his quiet activity despite being very bad at it. With Jess and Nick take a trip to Mexico in the hopes of reaffirming their feelings for each other, and Schmidt freaking out over having to choose between his girlfriend and Cece, Winston is having a journey of his own: he has decided to do a puzzle. Despite how funny the situation becomes, this episode is one of the first to start Winston down the path of self-discovery. When he begins to buckle under the pressure of their secrets and schemes, Jess helps him to realize that the fits of “willies” he’s been having since he was a kid are actually panic attacks, following a prevalent trend for Winston in the show: he often doesn’t realize that habits and traits that seem weird to him are actually quite normal. Winston’s admission that he likes taking bubble baths despite his masculine image is embarrassing for him, but Jess is the most accepting person to confess to. Of course, the situation gets out of hand when the tub leaks water and damages the loft, so Winston suggests faking a robbery for the insurance money to cover their mistake, leading to situation after situation that escalate far beyond the typical ramifications of buying a secret bathtub. In secret, he hatches a plan with Jess to buy the tub and hide it on the roof for secret baths. Walking such a fun line between tones (tense/dramatic and funny) is made possible in large part to Winston’s contributions and musical skills.įollowing Jess’s tempting pitch to buy a bathtub for the loft, Winston is interested despite Nick and Schmidt’s votes against it. Their worries, however, are expressed through humor and song, making for a heartwarming but ultimately funny night of camaraderie. The night before Nick’s next appointment, the gang comes together to worry and to support their friend, eventually devolving into a sad and drunken celebration of life, during which Winston takes command of the bar’s piano and sings “the saddest song in the world” in Nick’s honor.Įveryone is seriously concerned about Nick’s upcoming appointment, especially Winston and Schmidt ( Max Greenfield), who can’t bear the thought of losing their friend. But this gag becomes far more serious when Nick injures himself during a game of football and Jess forces him to see a doctor – who tells him that he might have cancer. It’s no secret that Nick ( Jake Johnson) doesn’t take very good care of himself in fact, it’s a running joke in the series.
