Episode Summary & Review
Summary
When Annie and Shirley learn that Leonard is actually holding the spot as the class valedictorian, they join forces to bring him down. Meanwhile, Troy and Abed reminisce about one of their favorite body switching films and when they inadvertently reenact a critical scene, things start becoming a little funky at Greendale.
Our Take
The Troy and Abed body swap stuff is the best thing season 4 has managed, mostly because Donald Glover’s impression of Abed is genuinely funny and weirdly touching. The Leonard valedictorian plot is thin filler that never builds much momentum. Worth watching for the first half, just don’t expect the whole hour to hold up.
