“I need help reacting to something.”
An inevitable step down from the previous week, of course. Still pretty good. I liked the Inspector Spacetime poster in the apartment.
With his beard and pony tail, does Vice Dean Laybourne remind anyone else of Monstroso from the Venture Brothers?
So what word did Britta really text when Annie thought she misspelled “codependent”?
My favorite part:
Jeff: Man, I wonder how many women I’ve affected this way.
Britta: Ha ha.
Jeff: Ha-ha ha ha.
Annie: HA!
Easily the best line in the episode.
Wow, that early scene with Britta at Annie, Abed, and Troy’s place was just packed with hilarious lines –
Annie: I’m sure those words hurt, but you wouldn’t be reading them if you weren’t true.
Abed: I have the potential to watch Blade!
Britta: You’re monsters! You’re Hitlers! You’re racist pedophiles! You’re the opposites of Batman!
Troy: You don’t know what that means!
Abed: I need help reacting to something.
And, WOW, Annie’s boobs (not the monkey) were constantly on display.
Merged threads.

What was the deal with everyone looking at Troy after his successful texting to get Britta to come out of the room? What did he write? Seemed like they were going somewhere with that, but we never found out.
I liked how everyone kept wondering why the Dean was there (in pajamas!?) and how upset it made him that they wondered why he was there.
It was also cool how Abed mentioned Blade’s comic book origins. Seems the sort of thing he’d bring up.
Troy is in love with Nritta. He probably wrote something really nice.
As Troy told Annie, Britta is attracted to men that treat her badly. So to get her to lose interest in Blade, Troy sent her a “fake” text from Blade saying something really nice–something about how wonderful he thinks she is, maybe some specific things that he likes about her. The plan worked–Britta immediately lost interest in Blade.
Later, when Annie told her what they had been doing, Britta realized that it was Troy who had written these really nice things about her, and that the text may reveal Troy’s true feelings for her. A Troy & Britta mutual attraction has been touched on in past episodes.
When Britta was telling Annie that she had to help her resist she said something about handcuffing her to a radiator and in the process said something that sounded a lot like “motherfucking.” Obviously that can’t be what she said, but I went back once and listened to it again and it still sounded like motherfucking.
I think it was “Mother Flippin”.
She didn’t think Britta misspelled “codependent”, she said Britta was codependent and also a bad speller.
What the misspelled word was is anyone’s guess.
Yup, that’s what I heard too.
I think that realization was just that it hadn’t been Blade texting, and that he is still there and still the jerk she wants. I don’t think it had anything to do with Troy.
Also, the Dean wasn’t upset. He was acting that way so he didn’t have to explain why he was really there, which was to awkwardly try to get Troy to join the AC Repair program. He fails at cover stories.
Sorry, you’re just wrong. They werent very subtle on the point that it was Britta’s realizing that Troy wrote, and sincerely meant, the nice things texted from “Blade”. She even gave Annie a questioning look, which Annie nodded to in reply, after looking at both the text and Troy. Annoe was silently confirming that the note was from Troy. Remember that Annie read it first and also realized that Troy was being sincere.
OK, I rewatched the ending scenes, and you’re right. It happened a bit later, when they all sat back down to watch Blade. I must have turned it off early or something, because I totally missed all the significant glances back and forth between everyone. It also seemed like maybe Annie was letting go of her crush on Jeff too?
Also it was really hard to focus during rewatch because my GOD Annie’s boobs are everywhere in this one.
I love this show so much I need Annie to take away my phone before I try to do it like a mother flipping crossword.
