He hires the ringer to ensure that she gets the prize. She needs the money for a place to live and to pay for school and they bonded earlier.

Looks like I was right all along. Heh.

Anyway. Great episode, not neccecerily as funny as the previous, but it had it’s moments and was entertaining throughout. Community is one of the few shows that I want to watch again after seeing it.

So who wants to count the references? So far I’ve got:

Star Wars – Obvious  
War Movie – Magnatude diving on the paint grenade to save his friends. Not sure where this started, but this is a well known trope.  
Warriors – Yes, they got Warriors. The Dean talking into the mic.

I know there must be others.
