"New Girl" had many hilarious guest stars over the years, including Jessica Biel as Kat in the Season 4 premiere. Kat provides the perfect foil to Jess' antics in "The Last Wedding," the stoic, confident genius to Jess' funny, adorable, and approachable character. When Kat and Jess find themselves fighting over the only eligible man left at a friend's wedding, the Best Man (Reid Scott), hilarity ensues. Jess looks gorgeous, and it's a little annoying when the show tries to make jokes implying that Kat is somehow much more attractive (we'd go ahead and say Zooey Deschanel and Jessica Biel are both Hollywood-level beautiful), but for the most part, the dynamic is played wonderfully by both actors.
After Jess attempts the "Biden" strategy by always "being there" wherever the Best Man is, Kat goads her into an "extreme Biden" wherein Jess follows the Best Man into the men's bathroom. In the end, the two part amicably after the Best Man is incapable of making a choice between them, and it's nice to see two women on TV approaching a love triangle with humor, realistic expectations, and respect for the game and the players.
