Episode Summary & Review
Summary
When Pierce learns that he and his Hawthorne wipes have become extremely popular, he decides to throw a big party – until his overbearing father, Cornelius Hawthorne shows up and puts the kibosh on the plans. Meanwhile, Troy finds himself being courted by Vice Dean Laybourne and his secretive Air Conditioning Repair Annex, as well as Greendale’s resident janitor, Jerry.
Our Take
A fun middle-of-the-road episode carried by Pierce’s daddy issues, with Cornelius Hawthorne turning out to be an even bigger nightmare than his son. The Troy and the air conditioning repair school subplot is pleasantly weird but mostly just sets up future episodes. Some good laughs, nothing groundbreaking, worth watching if you’re already along for the season.
