The gang picks their spring quarter electives. Jeff and Pierce sign up for Italian Wine Tasting, where they meet the lovely Wu Mei Hong Long. Troy and Britta take an acting class and are instructed to share painful emotions from their past, which proves difficult for Troy. Meanwhile, Abed takes "A Critical Analysis of ''Series/WhosTheBoss''" taught by the person who wrote the book of the same name; however, Abed's theories about who the 'boss' was turn out to be surprisingly controversial..

* GoldDigger: Jeff exposes Mei as a {{Fauxreigner}} who's only marrying Pierce for his money (and to make her family's company's takeover of Hawthorne Wipes that much easier). However, oddly for this trope this actually makes ''Jeff'' the bad guy; as Pierce points out, he was using Mei just as much as she was using him, there was still the possibility of good feelings between them, and it's clear that Jeff's real motives in doing so were less out of concern for Pierce and more because his vanity was wounded by Mei turning him down for Pierce.

* MightyWhiteyAndMellowYellow: Everyone is stunned when racist old man Pierce shows up with a young, beautiful, rich Chinese fiancee who speaks in broken English. Jeff immediately assumes she's marrying him for money or citizenship. However, Mei turns out to have been a {{fauxreigner}} who was manipulating Pierce to take over his company.

* CitizenshipMarriage: Subverted. Jeff brings up a green card as one reason the young and beautiful Mei would go for Pierce, an old coot. She tells him she already has dual American and Chinese citizenship and has the financial resources to emigrate easily even if she didn't.



* FourthDateMarriage: Brought up with regards to Pierce's tendency to marry his fiancees shortly after meeting them.
