When fast-talking lawyer Jeff Winger (Joel McHale) finds his degree has been revoked, he is forced to go back to school at Greendale Community College. Hoping to score points with a pretty coed, he invents a study group and invites her to join it. Imagine his surprise when she's not the only one who shows up for help with Spanish from the "board-certified tutor" he proclaims himself to be. Though his command of the language is anything but good, the members continue to meet and end up learning a lot about themselves.

When the study group's balloon ride crashes in the wilderness, the friends encounter a mountain man.

Annie invites Professor Cornwallis to Jeff's holiday party in the hope of getting on his good side; when the friends learn Cornwallis intends to give them a bad grade, they decide to take decisive action.

With enough credits to graduate, Jeff contemplates his future; the study group once again is faced with the darkest timeline.

Jeff returns to Greendale to help his former law partner gather evidence for a lawsuit; thinking Jeff is planning to help save the school, Dean Pelton calls the study group back together.
