Episode Summary & Review
Summary
The gang reunites after winter break and much to their surprise there’s a new addition. One of their fellow classmates is eager to join their study group and the gang must decide whether or not this particular individual is worthy. Meanwhile, Jeff signs on as editor of the Greendale Gazette Journal.
Our Take
A middling mid-season entry that leans hard on Jack Black’s guest spot, and your tolerance for his loud, sweaty shtick will basically determine your enjoyment. The newspaper subplot gives Jeff something to do but never really lands. There’s a fun meta gag near the end that almost justifies the whole thing, though it’s more a decent snack than a full meal.
