Now that Rick has learned all the writer's names, has accepted that Bridgit (seventh lead, no matter what anyone says) has taken his parking spot and has his confidence back, all there is left to do is to implement Zach Braff's advice - write for himself. And, anything less than the perfect joke just won't do.
