'New Girl' season 5 spoilers, plot news: Reagan prepares to leave as Jess returns from jury duty

"New Girl" season 5 episode 10, titled "Goosebumps Walkaway," will finally see Jess (Zooey Deschanel) and Reagan (Megan Fox) spend some screen time together. According to the official synopsis from Spoilers Guide, Jess will be making her return after spending a few episodes away due to jury duty.

The synopsis states that Jess will be coming in but she will be bringing some of the court issues with her. Despite her duties being done, Jess will be spending time on the episode trying to unravel the identity of one of the people sequestered with her. 

As Jess tries to discover the identity of this mysterious juror, Reagan will be preparing to leave the loft. During the previous episode, she confessed to Nick (Jake Johnson) that she did have feelings for him but that did not end well for either of them, even when Nick confessed that he liked her back.

It is stated in the synopsis that Reagan will want to move out soon in order to get out of Nick's life but it is possible she will be spending some time interacting with Jess, who was the original tenant in the loft Reagan has been renting for some time now.

Jess and Reagan may be the prime focus of the episode but that doesn't mean time won't be spent on Schmidt (Max Greenfield) and Cece (Hannah Simone). According to the synopsis, the couple will be tackling Schmidt's fear of public dancing. It is expected that Cece will be dancing along Schmidt to get his anxiety down. 

While unconfirmed, this may be the last episode for Megan Fox in "New Girl," although the actress may continue appearing in future seasons as a returning guest star or even as a new addition to the cast if her schedule would allow it. 

Megan Fox is currently busy, however, with the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Out of the Shadows" film.

"New Girl" season 5 episode 10 will air this March 8.
