Why did Jess leave New Girl for a few episodes?
The reason Jess was missing from the first six episodes of season five was because actress Zooey Deschanel was on maternity leave. In July 2015, she had given birth to her daughter. Show creator Elizabeth Meriwether revealed to HitFix that the plot of season five could have been entirely different.
The show remained in production after wrapping season four in order to get a jump on season 5 ahead of Deschanel's maternity leave. Deschanel was absent in 6 episodes of the fifth season. The onscreen reason for her absence was that her character was sequestered for jury duty.

Two of those have already aired, which leaves four episodes for Reagan, and puts Jess' return at Season 5, Episode 10 on March 8.
