She and Professor Hickey (guest star Jonathan Banks, "Breaking Bad") team to navigate Greendale's custodial corridors of power and must negotiate with Bob Waite (guest star Nathan Fillion, "Castle"), the politically savvy Greendale head custodian, and his right-hand man Lapari (Kumail Nanjiani, "Franklin & Bash"). They must also contend with Debra Chambers (guest star Paget Brewster, "Criminal Minds"), Greendale's head of I.T. and Waldron (guest star Robert Patrick, "Identity Thief"), Greendale's head of parking, in what becomes an increasingly complex hierarchy of staff. Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Yvette Nicole Brown, Danny Pudi, Jim Rash and Ken Jeong also star. Jerry Minor ("Arrested Development") and Brie Larson ("United States of Tara") also guest star.

Wow. That's a lot of guests. I wonder if they're trying to distract from the fact Troy is gone.

Troy and Levar Burton were captured by pirates :(. I wonder if this will be a later plot point?!!?

This and the tag were about the only two things I laughed about. The rest of the episode felt... odd. Like a completely different show. I get they're not a study group anymore, but again, this entire episode felt off.

Based on the two hilarious Labyrinth references alone, I give this episode a pass. This season has been great.

I liked it. Abed got normal really fast with Troy leaving.

I had no idea about all of the guest stars, so I was very surprised when I saw Fillion. Very cool. Overall, I liked it.

I thought this was a mediocre episode overall, but it had a couple of great moments. The show is obviously going to feel different with the missing characters, but I enjoyed the dynamic with the 3 teachers joining the group. Is Oliver going to be a regular this season?

I need to watch it again, but my favorite jokes were the Labyrinth references and the Dean's demands to Hickey. Despite liking the dean/Rash, I got really tired of his cross dressing/sex freak gimmick over the last couple of seasons. However, I feel like he's been used perfectly this year.

Labyrinth and Aaron Sorkin lines. :lol:

Duh it's a reference to Oldman's line from Leon

I was afraid they weren't going to be able to figure out something good to do with Abed since him and Troy worked so well together. So far they're 0 for 1 there.

I enjoyed everything else though.

Second of the season. Chang had a similar deliver with his "I masturbate everywhere. EVERYWHERE." line in Cooperative Polygraphy. Maybe they're making their way through all the words that start with every. Of course, Chang's didn't have the back and forth that makes it closer to Oldham's like Annie did.

I really liked this one--didn't miss Troy at all really. Don't get me wrong--I love Troy, but there was plenty going on here so that his absence wasn't a big deal.

Nice twist with the deaf girl--I didn't see that coming.

Robert Patrick was awesome. And I hope we see more Fillion this season.

I really liked the interplay between Hickey and Annie. They both played it perfectly--especially the final scene when Hickey puts up the bulletin board.

I don't know if it's my cable company or my NBC affiliate, but they had the episode stupid zoomed in to the point I couldn't see half the subtitles. It was hard to really grade the Abed subplot given that problem.

I think it's my own fault for knowing Nathan Fillion and Walton Goggins were guest starring and expecting too much, but I have been very underwhelmed by both of them. Further I really think Fillion would have been better in the role they gave Goggins.

I liked the Annie story. It was wise to focus on either Annie or Jeff in the episodes after Troy left.

The Labyrinth lines were pretty funny.

I don't care that much about Fillion and the other guest stars, but would like to keep seeing Brie Larson.
