The New Me is the first episode of the fourth season of Big Mouth. It is the thirty-second episode overall.
Synopsis[]
At sleep-away camp, Jessi befriends her trans cabinmate, and Nick discovers his two best friends have a little too much in common.
Plot[]
Nick arrives at camp and meets up with his friend Seth Goldberg. Their cabin meets Natalie, a former member of their cabin who has transitioned.
The boys all make her uncomfortable and she ends up switching to a girl's bunk. There, the girls all treat her weirdly and Jessi hates her until she realizes she is all alone and the two become friends. Andrew arrives at camp after his parents drop him off and Nick attempts to make him jealous until Seth and Andrew become friends.
Nick starts feeling left out as the two of them are hanging out more. Eventually, he breaks down and runs into the forest where he has a panic attack and is bitten by a mosquito named Tito.
