Episode Summary & Review
Summary
When the gang finds out Jeff is living out of his car, they offer their help. Meanwhile, Annie helps Troy plan the perfect date for another girl and Pierce joins Vaughn’s band.
Our Take
A solid mid-season episode that juggles three storylines without any of them getting shortchanged. Jeff’s homelessness gives Joel McHale some real pathos to work with, though Pierce’s band subplot mostly coasts on Chevy Chase being silly. Worth watching for the character work, even if it never quite hits the show’s comedic highs.
