"New Girl" is celebrating Valentine's Day with a bloody good guest star: "True Blood" star Ryan Kwanten.

In the Feb. 14 episode of "New Girl," appropriately titled "Valentine's Day," Jess (Zooey Deschanel) and her roommates head out to the bar to help Jess find a no-strings-attached hookup. It's her first V-Day as a single lady and the bubbly teacher sets her sights on Oliver (Kwanten). Meanwhile, Nick's (Jake Johnson) romantic plans for Julia ("Party Down's" Lizzy Caplan) are foiled when he winds up spending more time with her assistant ("Greek" actor Clark Duke). Winston (Lamorne Morris) tries to get closer to Shelby ("Bridesmaids" actress Kali Hawk), but ends up being treated as one of the girls.

Take a sneak peek at the gallery and warning you might be spoiled.
