In this recap of season 2, we broke down the themes of each loft mate.

• Jess – We explore Jess’s career, how her need to control everything evolved from Season 1, and how she stepped out of her comfort zone in her relationships.
• Nick – We discuss his struggle to be vulnerable, how he spent the season looking for a father figure, his relationship with Jess, and friendships with the other loft mates.
• Winston – We examine how Winston got a little more of a storyline (but not much) and how great of a friend he was to everyone in the loft through this season.
• Schmidt – We take a look at Schmidt’s relationship with Cece, his new friendship with Robby, and his existing relationships with the rest of the loft.
