Not even when it’s the conclusion of a drunk BCI (booty-call implication, apparently) does “whazzuh” garner any respect anymore, as well it shouldn’t.

But that’s hardly the point of the episode. Instead, the focus is on the aftermath of Britta’s (Gillian Jacobs) hard night of partying with an old buddy from her anarchist days, all culminating with a thoroughly intoxicated phone call to one Jeff Winger (Joel McHale) in the wee hours of the morning.

And he absolutely loves it. It’s justice – after all those months of playing hard-to-get. رهان المباريات

Unfortunately, as Abed (Danny Pudi) points out, the scales have been tipped and Jeff now holds all the cards. Britta’s acting strangely, and as a true friend, he must fix this grave calamity and drink call Britta right back – but it must be real, or she’ll be even more insulted.

So they get together to practice and since “Scorsese drank with DeNiro,” Abed bites the big one and engorges himself on the almighty vodka.

With decidedly hilarious results.

Meanwhile, Troy (Donald Glover) and Pierce (Chevy Chase), embarrassed about not receiving any valentines, send some to themselves in Senor Chang’s (Ken Jeong) class. لعبة البوكر مجانا He immediately relishes the opportunity to humiliate them.

Eager to avenge the dignity of their friends, Annie (Alison Brie) and Shirley (Yvette Nicole Brown), but he immediately blames the demoralized duo for the transgression and demands that they escort him to the Valentine’s Dance, wearing “elegant ladies’ pantsuits.”

It’s a shame that “Community” won’t be back until March 4th, since this episode has so many wonderful moments. From Annie informing the group that Vaughn’s (Eric Christian Olsen) is on a vision quest, to Jeff’s reluctantly amorous description of Britta, to the latter’s heartwarming moment at the story’s conclusion; it contains ample stock for multiple viewing. تعلم اسرار الروليت

Perhaps the best part is the heavy subtext between the pair. Sure, Britta saved Jeff and Professor Slater’s (Lauren Stamile) relationship, but the wayward affection between the pair continues to grow. The chemistry is certainly real and the relationship is becoming considerably more mature and genuinely caring.

For now, Jeff is in bliss with low-maintenance Michelle – whom me drunkenly deems the “perfect girlfriend” (though that’s only the first 20 seconds of a much longer message) – but chances are that this won’t last long.

The aftermath should, at the very least, be highly entertaining.

I spent a good decade dabbling in creating metaphysically-inclined narrative fiction and a mercifully short stream of lackluster poetry. A seasoned connoisseur of college majors, I discovered journalism only recently through a mock review for my mock editor, though my respect for the field is hardly laughable. I eventually plan to teach philosophy at a university and write in my free time while traveling the world, scaling mountains and finding other, more creative ways to stimulate adrenaline. Travel journalism, incidentally, would be a dream profession. Potential employers? Feel free to ruthlessly steal me away from the site. I’ll put that overexposed Miss Brown to shame.
