History Recap / CommunityS3E18CourseListingUnavailable

* ItsAllAboutMe: Somehow Starburns' wake becomes a platform for the study group to vent about their own problems ([[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotHeinous however minor they may be]]).

* WhamEpisode: [[spoiler: The Dean gets replaced by an impostor, Chang rises to power, and the episode ends with the group being expelled from Greendale.]]
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotHeinous: Jeff has a much more emotional reaction to failing his biology class than to his classmate's death.

* WhamEpisode: [[spoiler: The Dean gets replaced by an impostor, Chang rises to power, and the episode ends with the group being expelled from Greendale.]]

** JerkassHasAPoint: Chang in response [[spoiler: actually gets the study group expelled. Considering they were planning to throw him under the bus, it was karmic. Not to mention that they ''were'' responsible for inciting the riot in the first place (albeit inadvertently).]]

* WhamEpisode: [[spoiler: The Dean gets replaced by an impostor, Chang rises to power, and the episode ends with the group being expelled from Greendale.]]
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotHeinous: Jeff (and the group) have a much more emotional reaction to hearing they have to take summer school over the death of their classmate.
** Also, the item on Chang's list of demands that the Dean is most shocked by is "no soft-serve." This was after martial law and involuntary cavity searches.

** Again, to "[[Recap/CommunityS3E04RemedialChaosTheory Remedial Chaos Theory]]", Star-Burn's lawyer is an unseen one armed man with a scar. One of the scenarios from that episode involved Jeff becoming a one armed lawyer with a scar.

* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: While Chang is undeniably power hungry, it was ''the study group'' who actually initiated the riot (albeit inadvertantly), and then they tried to pass all the blame onto Change [[NeverMyFault so they wouldn't be held responsible.]] Played with, in that this actually ends up backfiring on the group [[spoiler: and leads to them getting expelled]].

* BrickJoke: Star-Burns's memorial video isn't mentioned until it is played in TheTag.

* BodyDouble: Chang's plan to guarentee the out come of the discipline hearing involves one.

The school decides to hold a memorial wake for the deceased Star-Burns, and the study group are called upon to deliver the eulogies by the Dean -- which, seeing as the study group are nursing a certain amount of bitterness over the fact that, as a result of Star-Burns' death, they will have to repeat Biology over summer school, turns out to be a mistake. One riot later, a scapegoat is needed, and the study group and the Dean elect to nominate Chang who, with his [[ChildSoldiers pre-teen army of security interns]] and new security powers, is rapidly becoming DrunkWithPower. Only Chang has other ideas...

-->'''Britta:''' As a psychologist...\\

'''Britta:''' ...I offer my licensed services...\\

'''Britta:''' ...as a grief counselor...\\

'''Britta:''' ...if anyone needs to talk, the doctor...\\

'''Britta:''' ...is in.

---> '''Annie''': Jeff, have some respect! He may have been a scuzzy weirdo who shaved his sideburns into star shapes...

** [[spoiler: As revealed in season finale, this is actually subverted. Turns out he simply faked his death... for whatever reason.]]

* MoodWhiplash: Britta asking the group to think about puppies... which are on fire.

-->'''Annie:''' Look! Tiny riot gear!!

** Britta's attempt to get the study group to confront their grief over Star-Burns' death by role-playing as him would have been a sound method of grief counselling if she hadn't critically underestimated precisely how little the group gave over Star-Burns' death in the first place.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotHeinous: Jeff (and the group) have a much more emotional reaction to hearing they have to take summer school over the death of their classmate.

** Britta's attempt to get the study group to confront their grief over Star-Burns' death by role-playing as him would have been a sound method of grief counselling if she hadn't critically underestimated precisely how little a shit the group gave over Star-Burns' death in the first place.

* ElCidPloy: Chang puts one into to make sure the discipline hearing goes the way he wants it to.

* ShipTease: At the end, Troy says, "Britta, you're not the worse -- you're the best," and both they and Jeff and Annie smile at each other later.

* DrunkWithPower: Chang's megalomaniacal tendencies over being a security guard, having an army of ChildSoldiers and increased martial responsibilities continue to intensify.
