History Recap / CommunityS1E25PascalsTriangleRevisited

** The school splits up into [[Literature/{{Twilight}} "Team Britta" and "Team Slater"]].

* CatchPhrase: Britta's "Do you have a patent on loving someone?"

* ConversationalTroping: Abed refuses to let Troy move into his dorm, citing that it's the sort-of thing that usually signifies JumpingTheShark.

After Britta is nominated for queen of the Transfer Dance, Professor Slater admits to Jeff that she misses him and wants to get back together. Troy's dad asks him to move out of the house, and Troy begins hoping to move in with Abed, although Abed rejects the idea.

The next day, at the Transfer Dance, Pierce offers Troy a place to live, but he still wants to live with Abed. Abed later explains to him that their personalities would clash if they roomed together and they would [[JumpingTheShark jump the shark]]. Annie reveals to the group that Vaughn has been selected for a competitive Hacky Sack team in Delaware and will be leaving for the summer, but she secretly tells Jeff that the move is permanent and she will not be coming back to Greendale.

In a separate storyline, Chang plans to beat up Duncan, who mocked him for being fired when Chang turned to Duncan for help cheating his way to re-obtaining his degree. Chang however cannot go through with the beating, since he would be expelled for hitting a member of the Greendale staff.

At the dance, however, Duncan becomes drunk and broadcasts Dean Pelton's "dalmatian fetish", resulting in Duncan's suspension. Chang seizes the opportunity and punches him in the face with a roll of quarters. During the dance, Britta publicly admits her love to Jeff. Professor Slater also announces the same statement. Jeff, unsure how to respond, leaves the dance only to bump into Annie who changed her mind about leaving. After the two each share their respective conflicted emotions, Annie gives Jeff a small kiss, and Jeff responds with a bigger one as the two embrace.

* ActorAllusion: Starburns declares during an uproar "bring [[Creator/ConanOBrien Conan]] back!", in reference to Conan O'Brien's then-ban from television after being ousted as the host of ''Series/TheTonightShow''. Starburns's actor, Dino Stamatopoulos, was a writer and performer for Conan's ''Series/LateNight'' program from '93-'99.

* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: Britta on stage publicly announcing to be in love with Jeff.

* BallroomBlitz; Chang starting a fight with Duncan.

** [[Recap/CommunityS1E03IntroductionToFilm He talks briefly with his accounting teacher, Prof. Whitman.]]

** Having learned about Jeff and Britta's sex, Shirley responds, "Holy macaroni with pepperjack!" Which was mentioned as an improvement on the standard macaroni and cheese formula during the background chatter when the group finds out about Slater and Jeff dating in "[[Recap/CommunityS1E14InterpretiveDance Interpretive Dance]]".
** The Dean's two apparent dates, dressed in dalmation costumes, refers back to a scene from "[[Recap/CommunityS1E10EnvironmentalScience Enviromental Science]]", in which he watched a video of a man in a strangely muscular dalmation costume. This was referenced several times since then, in increasingly unsubtle fashion as the Dean piled up more and more dalmatian paraphernalia.
** [[Recap/CommunityS1E13InvestigativeJournalism Shirley's friend Gary from Finland is mentioned as transferring back.]]
** [[Recap/CommunityS1E16CommunicationStudies Britta using a lot of makeup up for Valentine's Dance.]]

* FreudianCouch: Britta is lying down on the couch when she has a therapy session. Duncan tells her she needs not lie and she angrily responds that he could have told her sooner, not in the last session.

-->"Now, what say you and I blow this pop stand, and head off for a spot of slap and tickle? {{Beat}}. I mean sex, in case the lingo hasn't made it to the States.

-->"How can something that's delicious make me sick? Unless too much of a good thing is actually a bad thing. [[EurekaMoment My friendship with Abed is a giant cookie.]]"

* SeriousBusiness: Vaughn just got a spot on the number one community college hacky sack team.

* TeachersOutOfSchool: Inverted. Despite having held one-on-one psychotherapy sessions with Britta for the better part of the semester, Professor Duncan doesn't seem to recognize her in formalwear.

-->"We'll end up fighting and putting a masking tape line down the middle of our room."

* WhatNowEnding: No Mortal danger CliffHanger here, but the question of how the study group can possibly stay together after Jeff runs away from Britta's confession and kisses Annie minutes later.

--> '''Duncan''': [[SingerNamedrop My name is Ian Duncan]] and I'm here to say / [[ShapedLikeItself I'm going to rap to the beat in a rapping way]] / I've got a real big penis and [[IAmVeryBritish I drink lots of tea]]...

* WritersCannotDoMath: Jeff refers to Troy's giant cookie as having a "sixty-inch diameter". A circle's diameter is its width, so if that number were accurate, it would be a *five-foot-wide cookie*. Though, it appears to be around 18-20 inches in diameter, which would give it a *circumference* of 56-63 inches.

* SpeakOfTheDevil: Saying "Nothing could ruin this." summons the Dean.
-->'''Jeff:''' He's like an evil genie!

* TemptingFate: Jeff says that "Not much could ruin today" right before Dean Pelton shows up:
-->'''Jeff:''' Aw, shoot, I forgot saying that summons him.

* UnfortunateName: The Tranny Dance (that is, ''Transfer'' Dance), where they crown the Tranny Queen.

--> "I can't believe I spent 10 bucks on this. I don't know ''any'' of these people!"

* TeachersOutOfSchool: Inverted. Despite having held one-on-one psychotherapy sessions with Britta for the better part of the semester, Professor Ducan doesn't seem to recognize her in formalwear.

** Pierce plays the Greendale school song ([[SuspiciouslySimilarSong set to the tune of]] Bruce Hornsby's "The Way it Is"), which he "wrote" in "[[Recap/CommunityS1E05AdvancedCriminalLaw Advanced Criminal Law]]".
