Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Andre proposes that he and Shirley remarry and a wedding date is set. Britta and Annie get busy planning the wedding and Jeff prepares to give a wedding speech – while Troy and Abed get ready to be “normal” for the occasion. Meanwhile, Pierce and Shirley pitch a sandwich shop idea to Dean Pelton for the Greendale cafeteria.

Our Take

A decent midseason episode that splits its focus a few too many ways. Troy and Abed straining to act normal is the clear highlight, and Pierce’s sandwich shop subplot earns some solid laughs, but the wedding material itself feels a bit stale. Jeff’s speechwriting spiral works better than it should. Fine, watchable, just not one of the season’s sharper outings.
