Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Jeff returns to Greendale when his former law partner Alan Connor recruits him to gather evidence for a lawsuit he is pursuing. Dean Pelton is thrilled to see Jeff back at Greendale. Thinking he is there to help save the school, he quickly calls the study group back together – surprising Jeff with a reunion.
Our Take
A shaky but game attempt at rebooting itself after the Dan Harmon firing-and-rehiring mess. The meta jokes about the show’s own revival land more often than they miss, and the cast slips back into their rhythms easily, though the lawsuit premise feels like a contrivance to get everyone in the room. Worth watching for the reunion warmth, just temper your expectations.
