Episode Summary & Review

Summary

When Troy and Abed decide to share an apartment, they host a party for the group, which takes on an altered reality as several scenarios play out.

Our Take

This is the one where the show plays with timelines, and it’s a perfect fit for how well these characters are drawn by season three. Every version of the party reveals something new, and the darkest timeline stuff lands harder than you’d expect from a sitcom. It’s clever without being show-offy, and it rewatch rewards you. Easily worth your time.
