Pierce deals with the death of his mom. Jeff gets an unexpected result back from a medical test. Abed has a side adventure.
 
== The ''[[Community (TV)|Community]]'' episode "The Psychology of Letting Go" provides examples of: ==
 
* [[Birth-Death Juxtaposition]]: As Pierce's mom narrates [[Death Byby Newbery Medal|how life works,]] Abed can be seen helping a young couple give birth in the background. Considering his [[Meta Guy|role in the show]] he probably sought the pregnant girl out [[Fridge Brilliance|for this very reason]].
** [[Fridge Brilliance|It's been about 9 months since the STD fair, hasn't it?]] Note that you see a couple in the background of that episode throwing a condom away and then getting back to it...
* [[Bilingual Dialogue]]: [[Betty White]] and an African tribesman in [[The Tag]]. This is so another tribesman won't be spoiled by the English half of their discussion of ''[[Inception]]''.
Line 11:
* [[Buffy-Speak]]: Britta's imitating Annie.

* [[Call Back]]: "Did we ''completely'' miss the point of [[Community (TV)/Recap/S1 E12 Comparative Religion|last Christmas?]]"
* [[Captain Obvious Aesop]]: Lampshaded on at one point when Britta and Annie are staging a demonstration to raise awareness about the environmental effects of the oil spill in the gulf. Britta is angry and yelling about how horrible it is to people passing by when someone mockingly points out that she doesn't need to yell at them, nobody is on the other side of this issue.
* [[Cat Fight]]
Line 17:
** Duncan points out that Jeff's recent desire to belittle and undermine Pierce's faith in his cult is linked to Jeff's discovery that he has high cholesterol. Jeff accepts this, but instead of the expected 'so lighten up about it and let Pierce continue regardless' message, Jeff instead decides that this increased self-awareness means he can ''really'' go to town on pulling the rug from under Pierce.
{{quote| '''Professor Duncan:''' No, that wasn't what I w -- actually, I don't care.}}
** Britta tells Annie that due to her flirting guys have [[A Date Withwith Rosie Palms|socks with her name on them]]. Her reply?
{{quote| '''Annie:''' ...if a guy wants to make a puppet of me it's hardly your concern.}}
* [[Drinking the Kool Aid]]: Invoked. Pierce's faith believes that when Buddha returns everyone will merge into shimmering ocean of knowledge that tastes like Hawaiian fruit punch. [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|Which sounds a lot like]] [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|an incredibly oft-mentioned anime.]]
