and that he needs to learn commitment. Jimmy then steals another guest from Winston.

if he's ready for tonight, he says they can't keep doing this.

and points out that Nick is talking to Caroline. The guys tell Jess that
this is unhealthy for Nick and that he needs to stop talking to Caroline
for good. Jess goes to the dance floor and calls out to Nick, trying to get him to dance with her and thus
get away from Caroline. Caroline walks off. Nick tells Jess that it's ok, that she
did a great job, and that he thinks he has a chance with Caroline again. He leaves to follow Caroline. Jimmy the alternate usher

cuts her shorts off. Still holding the knife, Jess tells Brooke not to break Schmidt's heart, or she'll have to deal with her.

to say anything, but now that he has Jess, he should be ok with it. Caroline leaves. Schmidt arrives and asks Jess
what she did to Brooke, who has left because Jess "threatened her with a knife." He yells at Jess for
ruining things. Jess said she's happy with who she is.
