Episode Summary & Review
Summary
In support of Troy and Abed, the study group heads to InspecTiCon – the annual Inspector Spacetime Convention. Trouble begins when the group meets up with Abed’s email “pen pal,” Toby Davies, who’s shared passion for Inspector Spacetime comes between Abed and Troy. Meanwhile, Annie leaves the convention floor to enjoy the luxuries of the hotel while Jeff relaxes in the bar with Lauren, an Inspector Spacetime fan.
Our Take
A middling road trip episode that leans hard on the Inspector Spacetime bit, which is fun in small doses but wears thin as the whole premise. The Troy-Abed falling out has some genuine feeling to it, though the Jeff romance subplot feels like filler. Fine for fans keeping up with the season, but nothing here demands a rewatch.
