'''Jeff:''' Thank you Annie. Proud of you too, and us all. Also wish the nightmare would end, but using what I'm given to give what I can. Jeff Winger.\\
'''Annie:''' Jeff, just heard from one of Abed's soldiers that you gave an identical speech to troops at Pillowtown. W-T-F, sad face, special icon of a downward thumb.\\
'''Jeff:''' Okay, you caught me. I prefer war to homework. How do you do that little thumb icon? I can't find it on my phone. Jeff Winger.\\

Adding an episode summary.
->'''"Between two groups of people who want to make inconsistent kinds of worlds, I see no remedy but force."''
-->-- '''Oliver Wendell Holmes'''
In 2012, a film-crew went to Greendale Community College to record an attempt to make the world's largest blanket fort. Instead, they recorded something very different; a bitter breakdown in relations between two best friends that would spill out into open hostility and which would divide the campus into two teams of bitter enemies, resulting in the largest pillow-fight ever seen at a community college; the conflict between the pillow fortress of Pillowtown, led by Abed Nadir, and the blanket fort of Blanketburg, led by Troy Barnes.
