** Hickey notes that Abed's eccentricities, whilst being what endears him to his friends, make it look like he's spoilt & everyone is bending over backwards to avoid upsetting him.
** Annie notes that she & Shirley have been in the spotlight enough recently, only for Shirley to mutter in disagreement; a nod to Annie having prominent roles in "[[Recap/CommunityS5E02IntroductionToTeaching Introduction to Teaching]]," "[[Recap/CommunityS5E03BasicInterglutealNumismatics Basic Intergluteal Numismatics]]" and "[[Recap/CommunityS5E06AnalysisOfCorkBasedNetworking Analysis of Cork Based Networking]]" whilst Shirley hasn't received much focus at this point in the season.
