Queer Studies and Advanced Waxing

Frankie (Paget Brewster) and the Dean (Jim Rash) arrive and the group loudly insist that they immediately fix the school's WiFi, which has gone down.

Frankie tells him that his sexuality is none of anyone else's business, but Jeff (Joel McHale) believes that the Dean could achieve good things in the school board role.

The Dean is initially sympathetic, but after being criticized in his role as board member he returns with security guards and forces Abed and Elroy to remove the nest.

Annie tries to get the group to boycott the Karate Kid play, but they all watch and are moved by Chang's excellent performance.

In the end tag, Abed gathers the group to release the third bird, who moves into the control box of a transformer station.

[4] Entertainment Weekly's Keith Staskiewicz found that the episode has a theme of identity, with Chang's casting showing that "stereotypical roles can be redeemed by actors" and Dean's storyline demonstrating that "putting characters into boxes" is "harmful to real diversity".
