  • Alternative Character Interpretation: Was Jeff just using the study group to sue Greendale? Or did he authentically believe that this was best for not only him but for the rest of the group who deserved some justice? Or was he simply going through the motions hoping the Study Group would talk him down?
    • Is the Dean a well-meaning man who just happened to have an inferiority complex that blocked him from doing his job well? Or a petty self-centered man who cares more about himself than the futures of the thousands of students who have come and graduated from his school?
    • Was Andre in the right for divorcing Shirley seeing as how she spent the family money on a business that failed? Or is he a Jerkass husband who wasn't willing to forgive the woman who took him back after he left? Was him taking the kids, dog, and DVR all Disproportionate Retribution and should he have been more understanding?
  • Crosses the Line Twice: It's revealed that Humphries' thesis project was a Lego bridge. That fell apart.
    • Alan had a girlfriend while he was married. She was his wife's sister.
  • Fridge Brilliance: Troy not having a reason to be sad makes sense, when you remember he went to the Air Conditioning Repair School, who actually has a high job placement rate. Unlike the rest of the study group, Troy probably got a good job with his degree.
  • One-Scene Wonder: Pierce, as a hologram, for the season.
  • The Woobie: The study group in general. Their lives were not good after graduation.
    • Jerkass Woobie: Jeff did try to sue the school he once loved using the "only people [he] cares about". But it's hard not to see why he did it as he tried to utilize all the stuff he learned from his friends to be a Crusading Lawyer that helped people only for his business to fail. He still clung onto the idea that Greendale was a good place only to find out that the Dean shredded the evidence and that his friends' lives were just as bad as his own after they graduated.
