Professor Duncan is celebrating exam day by drinking with the class and giving everybody A's, Dean Pelton stops by with a reporter for an unscheduled class observation. These plans are also upset when Shirley goes into labor. No ambulances are available due to a "race kerfuffle" happening in the parking lot. Abed guides Shirley through delivery, working from his [[Community (TV)/Recap/S2 E03 The Psychologyof Letting Go|earlier experience in childbirth]]. Shirley, however, is uncomfortable with him looking at her "nethers", so Britta must step up.
