Trick or dean! Missed last week’s recap? Catch up here.
Our Halloween outing at Greendale begins with a pre-party thrown by Britta, before the group heads off to their “real” gathering. As Britta explains to Pierce her reasoning for throwing their own shindig (“it’s informal, it’s intimate and it’s just for us”) Troy and Abed arrive as - what else? - Inspector Spacetime and the Constable.

Britta pulls Jeff aside, asking if he remembers last week when she made them fill out anonymous personality tests for her psychology class.
