In the episode, the group must pull off an Ocean's Eleven-style heist in order to free Dean Pelton and reveal Chang's plan.
After struggling to gather reconnaissance, Troy (Donald Glover) turns to Murray (Dan Bakkedahl) from the air conditioning repair school.
Murray reveals that Dean Pelton is locked in the cafeteria basement and explains Chang's new security measures.
During Chang's party, Shirley (Yvette Nicole Brown), disguised as a chef, deliberately clogs a toilet, while Annie (Alison Brie) pretends to be a security guard.
Troy and Abed (Danny Pudi) arrive as plumbers to fix the toilet; they break through the bathroom wall to access security codes in Chang's office.
Chang recognizes Pierce, seemingly ruining the operation, but the team intentionally structured the plan to look like it was failing.
As the group tries to escape, Troy nods to an A/C maintenance camera, causing a large fan blocking an exit to stop.
It ranked fourth in its time slot behind the season finales of Grey's Anatomy and Person of Interest and an episode of Touch.
Club gave the episode an A−, praising its use of the tropes of heist movies and the emotional climax of Troy's departure.
