-->'''Imaginery!Annie:''' Is this really what you want?

-->'''Imaginery!Annie:''' Do you have any idea what I want?

* {{Irony}}: Jeff originally started the study group to hook up with Britta and didn't want any of the others around. By the end of this episode she's the only one of the Greendale Seven left with him.

* LampshadeHanging: In the inital Season 7 pitch by Abed, Shirley meets [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute Frankie]] and questions if this dynamic is going to work.

*** Chang's gay reveal may not really be a case of SuddenlySexuality since he did mention having a CelebCrush on Creator/NathanFillion.

* SuddenlySexuality: Chang's last line is him revealing he is gay, despite no overt hints to it beforehand (the closest thing being his CelebCrush on Creator/NathanFillion, which is never presented seriously).

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Jeff let's Annie go, so she can pursue her dreams.

* CreepyMonotone: In one of Jeff's fantasy pitches, Todd makes the observation with a detached affect that lots of things are forced; for instance, [[AxCrazy a human head through a drainpipe]].

* CreepyMonotone: In one of Jeff's fantasy pitches, Todd makes the observation with a detached affect that forcing things isn't always bad; for instance, [[AxCrazy a human head through a drainpipe]].

** ''Creator/Dan Harmon gets both ''Creator/ChuckLorre'' and [[SelfDeprecation himself]] in one line:

* MaybeEverAfter: Jeff and Annie, they end up having the most honest heart-to-heart conversation of the episode about if they would ever cross paths again, and Annie suggests a BigDamnKiss just so they won't regret not doing it. One ImagineSpot preceding it has Jeff considering marriage and a child with her, but realizes he has to face the reality of it probably not happening.

* ShipTease: Massive amounts for Jeff and Annie, and finally semi-resolved. Several of Jeff's fantasies center around finding a way to keep Annie around, and he even has a simple one of them being married. When Annie finds him in the study room, he admits he can't stop loving her, but they both agree that right now neither of them are in the best place for a real relationship. They don't quite promise to get together later on, but they very specifically leave that option open.

** The whiteboard features several lines of seven numbers, each preceded by "nm" - these are the unique ends of the IMDB page addresses for the various cast members; for example, Joel [=McHale=] is [=nm0570364=].

* PutOnABus: Elroy got a job with Linked-In, Annie's got an internship with the FBI, and Abed got a job in L.A.

* SuddenlySexuality: Chang's last line is him revealing he is gay, despite no overt hints to it beforehand.

** Neither Jeff nor Annie care for the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse movies. Though given the involvement of several of the cast and crew (notably the Russo Brothers and including Dan Harmon) on the films it's almost certainly a friendly jab, subverting this a bit.

* WillTheyOrWontThey: They don't. Because they are in different parts of their lives.

** Neither Jeff nor Annie care for the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse movies.

* SuddenlySexuality: Chang's last line is him revealing he is gay, even though he is married to a woman and is shown to love her genuinely.

* TheBusCameBack: Yvette Nicole Brown reprises her role of Shirley in several of the pitches for Season 7.

*** Abed references Troy leaving with Levar Burton.

** Dan Harmon voices the narrator in TheTag.

This has been confirmed to be the [[http://www.metroweekly.com/2015/07/from-soup-to-nuts-an-interview-with-joel-mchale/ final episode]] of the series, due to the cast being hot commodities and busy with their own projects. All that is left is the movie now.

* WillTheyOrWontThey: Semi-resolved. Jeff and Annie finally put their cards on the table and admit to romantic feelings, but admit that they have to take care of other things in their lives before getting into a relationship. Both are now at the point where they want what is best for the other, however, and the duo do appear to intend to get together in the future.

* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: Jeff tells Annie that intellectually and physically he's given her up, but he's had no luck emotionally.
-->'''Jeff:''' The heart--which cynics say is code for penis--wants what it wants.

-->'''Narrator''': Characters may hook up with no regard for your emotional investment. Some episodes too conceptual to be funny. Some too funny to be immersive, and some so immersive they still aren't funny. Consistency between seasons may vary.

* GrandFinale: A clever AffectionateParody of grand finale's seen in TV sitcoms, as well as the effective SeriesFinale.

** It still ends up using a number of traditional tropes, as [[spoiler: Annie gets an internship with the FBI, moving to Washington DC, and Abed got a job to produce a tv pitch, moving to Hollywood]]. The last shot of the cast implies AndTheAdventureContinues.

As their sixth year at Greendale draws to a close, Abed asks everyone to imagine pitching a TV show about what they would do in Season Seven. This has been confirmed to be the [[http://www.metroweekly.com/2015/07/from-soup-to-nuts-an-interview-with-joel-mchale/ final episode]] of the series, due to the cast being hot commodities and busy with their own projects. All that is left is the movie now.

-->'''Jeff:''' The heart--and I know cynics think that's code for penis--wants what the heart wants.
