As the rest of the group becomes frustrated with Dean Pelton for buying the hand in the first place, Abed tries to use flashbacks to change how their story is being told.
The Save Greendale Committee members are traveling in Elroy's (Keith David) RV to deliver a large fiberglass hand purchased by Dean Pelton (Jim Rash) to its new owners.
No tow trucks are available because of a local parade, and the group quickly begins arguing due to their predicament.
Abed (Danny Pudi) tries to insert meta-commentary and to flashback to "three weeks earlier" in order to provide exposition for their situation, though these efforts irritate Jeff (Joel McHale).
His wife (Danielle Schneider) argues his obsession with buying large items is why their son disappeared, and she indicates she will divorce him.
Club gave it a B− grade, describing it as "light on laughs and a bit listless" and criticizing the show's narrowing focus on Jeff and Abed's sensibilities, though he praised the cast, particularly Brewster and David.
[2] Joe Matar of Den of Geek noted that the episode seem to present a unique concept only to end up as "something of a retread"; he gave it 3 out of 5 stars.
