Jeff Winger (Joel McHale) gives Professor Ian Duncan (John Oliver) advice on seducing Britta Perry (Gillian Jacobs). Ian tells Britta that he is going to a function for a political cause Britta cares about; she decides to go with him. While there, she reconnects with old friends and realizes how they've changed. While watching Britta reconnect with her friends, Jeff soon becomes aroused by her, admitting to Ian that Britta's popularity turns him on. Ian sees this as a challenge, and he tells Jeff that if Britta's friends blow her off, he will be the shoulder to cry on. This soon happens when Britta's friends mock her for still inhabiting radical tendencies when they have moved on with their lives. While driving her home, Britta discusses the strange and fleeting nature of friendships with Ian, and he admits to her that he does not have any real friends besides Jeff, and they do not really act much like friends. Ian ultimately decides not to take advantage of Britta while she is going through an existential crisis, and instead chooses to go out drinking with Jeff, which ends up strengthening their friendship.
Abed Nadir (Danny Pudi) accidentally damages Professor Buzz Hickey's (Jonathan Banks) drawings when his Kick-Puncher costume shoots foam at them. Buzz decides to punish him by handcuffing him to his filing cabinet, and not letting him watch the newest Kick-Puncher movie. This leads to the pair spending quality time together when Buzz shows Abed older drawings. They later get into a heated argument when Buzz says he is still holding his punishment.
