Episode Summary & Review
Summary
When Annie discovers the study group’s yam experiment smashed to smithereens on the science lab floor, the group mobilizes to expose the criminal and save their grade. Once Abed and Troy think they have located the perpetrator, the group conducts a “trial,” with a reluctant Professor Kane serving as judge. Jeff soon realizes, however, that the plot is thicker than anyone suspects.
Our Take
A full Law and Order parody sounds like a one-joke premise, but the show commits so completely to the format that the joke keeps paying off. The deadpan narration, the lighting, the interrogation scenes, all of it lands, and the ending swerve into genuine loss gives the silliness real weight. One of the stronger concept episodes this season.
