In this episode, Jeff Winger (Joel McHale) is set to graduate and expects things to go quietly.
At Greendale, Jeff applies for graduation in Dean Pelton's (Jim Rash) office with little fanfare, but he eventually agrees to have a proper ceremony.
Later, Jeff confesses to Britta (Gillian Jacobs) he is worried about how leaving Greendale will affect the group, particularly Abed (Danny Pudi).
The rest of the Evil Study Group arrives in the prime timeline to take on their counterparts but are slowly eliminated.
Afterwards, Jeff announces he will decline Mark's offer and search for work at a small firm, allowing him to "help the little guy" and stay close to the group.
