The group returns from their winter break and realizes a new student named Buddy (Jack Black) has inserted himself into the study group. They must decide whether or not to allow him to stay. Meanwhile, Dean Pelton (Jim Rash) makes Jeff (Joel McHale) the new editor of the Greendale Gazette Journal, where Annie (Alison Brie) discovers a story about racial profiling in the school.

In the end tag, Troy (Donald Glover) and Abed (Danny Pudi) are interviewed by Star-Burns (Dino Stamatopoulos) for possible membership in the "cool group". Pierce (Chevy Chase) shows up and berates them for their disloyalty. After they walk away Pierce asks if the group has decided on his own membership.
