Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Professor Whitman and Dean Pelton convince Jeff to join the debate team after Annie’s partner drops out right before the championship debate versus City College. Jeff naturally assumes he has the win in the bag but an obnoxious debater from the opposing team proves him wrong. Meanwhile, Shirley freaks out when Abed’s films seem to predict the future and Pierce uses hypnotherapy to help Britta give up smoking.

Our Take

Very good — not the series’ peak, but an hour that reminds you why Community works.
