The study group has finished six years at Greendale and the Dean arrives in a silly outfit to ensure that it's been a proper school year. Elroy leaves to go look up an old flame while the rest of the group heads out to a bar to celebrate. There, the group imagines what a hypothetical season seven would look while they discuss what exactly makes up Community. Abed imagines having Shirley back, while the Dean imagines she'll come back along with Elroy and a third black member of the group but things quickly escalate to him getting a bit racist. Chang's pitch involves the addition of an animated ice-cube-head character with superpowers.

Annie comes in and lets everyone know that she got a summer internship with the FBI and will be gone for the summer, leaving her return to Greendale following it to be unclear. Jeff then imagines the group with none of the original members except for himself. The new members are secondary characters previously seen attending Greendale and a cameo by Seth Green who is playing a millionaire who purchased the school. The thought makes Jeff reconsider his disdain for the season seven pitches and decide he wants to join in.

Jeff pitches a version of the show where Annie comes back to solve the double-murder of Britta's parents. Britta pitches a weirdly pretentious version where they're trying to save the world, dismantle the government, or something like that. Frankie imagines a dull version where everyone is ultra well-behaved and entirely on task. Jeff finally poses another pitch where Annie stays at Greendale as a teacher, which she seems keen on. It's then that Abed announces he's going to be moving to Los Angeles because he was offered a job on an upcoming FOX series. This causes Jeff to imagine a version of the show where there are many clones of Abed, which he proceeds to strangle one by one.

Jeff heads back to Greendale, where he imagines being settled down with Annie and they even have a child together. But it's then that this version of Annie points out that Jeff has no idea what it is that Annie wants for her future. Annie shows up to campus and Jeff notes that he wishes he could be young again and Annie wishes that she could be settled into a later stage of adulthood. The one thing they agree on is that the Marvel films are overrated. They kiss each other goodbye before the rest of the study group shows up. Frankie suggests that everyone imagine their own version of season seven but none of them can be cut to or else they won't come true. But they do show Jeff's, which involves being with a table of red-heads. Jeff expresses his joy at meeting everyone and they all share a group hug, with Chang tearfully proclaiming that he's "for-real-gay."

Jeff drives Annie and Abed to the airport, at which they will take off on their respective adventures. He then joins the rest of the remaining group members at the bar.

Greendale student Garrett proposes to his girlfriend Stacey in the middle of one of Jeff's classes. Abed is filming, as Garrett had asked him to film the proposal. Abed will continue to film all the way up through the wedding for a documentary. Annie and Britta invite Frankie over so they can all get ready together and Frankie is horrendously awkward until Jeff and Chang come crashing in, slightly drunk. The group enjoys playing a game but then realise they are late and nearly leave Chang and Abed behind. The group arrives in the middle of the wedding vows and creates quite a disruption as they arrive. At the reception, Garrett's mother scolds them for being rude and warns them to keep themselves in line. The group picks up their shattered pride and does their best to be ideal wedding guests in the best ways that they can. Jeff decides to do the best-man speech when Garrett's brother relapses. The group pools their resources from all the mingling they did at the wedding. Unfortunately, the speech accidentally leads to the revelation that the bride and groom have the same grandmother and are therefore first cousins. The group then realises that they are at their worst with each other. Chang rallies Garrett and Stacy to make their own decisions and that it's not their fault that their families were too screwed up for them to realise they were related. Seeing as how it's legal for them to marry their first cousins, they decide to stay together.

Frankie is implementing a "Cleaner Greendale" initiative which forces those engaging in the school's paintball game underground. There's a "silver assassin" that is running things. Frankie implores Jeff to give a speech to tell people not to do it since he used to be in charge of it all. As it turns out, the entire rest of the group is still playing paintball and Jeff is forced to briefly play in order to protect the rest of the group. Jeff tries to get them to think about Frankie's best interest since she is their friend now so they agree to stop playing paintball and hunt down the silver assassin. But the group's investigation reveals that the best way to find them is to play as part of an undercover group. Britta and Elroy get into a shootout with the kitchen staff and the Dean is forced to take out an elevator full of participants when they corner him. Jeff ends up shooting a physically disabled student when he mistakenly thinks he's about to shoot Frankie. The Dean comes running in and accuses the custodian of being the one running the paintball scheme and that he plans to do so to help City College win and then he'll be able to take a job there. More custodians come running in and then an all-out paintball war ensues. One by one, members of the study group are taken out. Jeff and the Dean are the last ones left standing and they must go after the custodian. They end up in the Museum of Custodial Arts. The Dean nearly turns on Jeff after buying into the custodian's speech. Frankie walks in an promises not to fire anyone if they lower their guns. They do but after she leaves, they all shoot each other. The study group then has to dress up as baby and say baby lines, as well as promise to grow up in order for Frankie not to quit.

The group is on a road trip in Elroy's RV to deliver a giant fibreglass hand that Frankie is pushing the Dean to sell but the RV runs out of gas and they find themselves stranded on the side of the road. Abed is imagining the entire trip and events beforehand as a film that starts with them getting stranded and a 3-weeks-earlier flashback to show how they got there. The group can't get a tow truck to come get them because there's a parade going on monopolising them. The Dean gets berated by Jeff because he was foolish enough to buy this giant fibreglass hand with money that the school doesn't have. The RV's secondary battery dies because the group was foolish enough to keep charging their phones even after the RV died. That night, as the group stays inside the cold RV, they get into a large argument with the Dean who storms outside to sit on the giant fibreglass hand. Abed goes outside to sit with the Dean and then the fibreglass hand falls off the roof. The group goes to get the hand off the Dean but then it turns out he's not trapped under their. Instead he runs inside and locks everyone out. Jeff implored Abed to try to talk to the Dean but he's too distracted with his fixation on doing the flashback sequence. Frankie is able to get him to focus by making him imagine that where they currently are is the flashback and he has travelled back to help the group. Abed gives a rousing speech about the hand being symbolic of the power to hold on to each other. This gets the group to bond and the Dean comes out of the RV. Three days later, the group is shown to have held on to the fibreglass hand and put it on Greendale's campus with a wristband that shows, "Keep a loose grip." Chang also joins the group covered in feathers and proceeds to tell them how he came to be in that state.

The original buyer of the fibreglass hand is shown to be a man who is fixated on buying large objects, a habit only worsened due to his son's disappearance due to his receiving an oversized kite from his father.

The group decides to enrol in a class on grifting, but Jeff thinks it's a bad idea as he believe it will be scam. He ends up being right so they in turn are the ones that got grifted. They spent the entire class passing suitcases to each other back and forth. They tell Jeff they want to get back at the grifter and he tells them they should just cut their losses and move on. Jeff goes in to talk to the grifter, with whom he was initially going to side with, but once they get into an argument he decides to help the group enact revenge. Jeff's first few attempts to help the group are unsuccessful, making him all the more determined. Tensions continue to escalate until Britta ends up punching the grifter and he falls down the stairs and is seriously injured. The school must pay him off and there is even a brief talk of expelling Britta for pushing him but they decide against it. It is then revealed that Britta struck up a deal with the grifter for them to fake the confrontation, injury, and split the money. Britta did it to get him out of the school and makes plans with him to meet up at a hotel later. But as he's wheeling away, it's revealed that the group swapped out the real suitcase. The whole class then parades around with suitcases in hand so the grifter has no real way of knowing who it is. The grifter tries to claim that they stole his money to the campus security and he is revealed as a fraud because he's walking around even though he had claimed to be injured. Also, the entire group feigns ignorance as to how he got these fake injuries. Jeff presses the grifter into deciding as to whether admit that he got grifted or get in trouble. He of course admits that he gets grifted and is fired as a professor of Greendale.

Following his success in the theatre production of The Karate Kid, Chang lands a part in a commercial for Kolb Family Foods and his work in the commercial becomes a viral hit. As the famous "Ham Girl" guy, he decides to head to Hollywood. Now that he is a bit hit, he begins to trash-talk the gang, claiming he had no friends and was just a loner. The group decides to cash in on his fame when Abed announces he has footage from a film he was shooting with Chang called Police Justice. They need to finish the film though and decide to do so by making the cop drama into a sci-fi film. Frankie puts the group in touch with a film producer named Maury who promises to be able to turn the film into a profitable hit for them.

Abed finally agrees to direct the film into Chief Starr and the Raiders of the Galaxy by incorporating outtake audio samples as well as recycled footage of Chang as Chief Starr. The Dean is standing in as Chang's stand-in body double. Jeff plays the mayor of outer space and Britta plays Princess Meridian (though Britta wants her to be called Brittana). Annie also stars by playing Scorpio 9, a pleasure droid assassin.

Abed is discouraged by the group's lack of interest in making the film of a high quality and Jeff pushes him to just keep up the quick pace so the film can be finished in a timely manner. This is successful but as the final cut is 87 minutes and the film needs to be cut to 81 minutes, Jeff's big scene gets cut. This leads to Jeff having an identity crisis as he begins to realise that he will be the last one of the group to leave Greendale. Abed offers up a pep talk to Jeff and though Abed offers to cut other parts, Jeff insists they cut his death scene (though they end up adding an added 30 seconds to the film).

Unfortunately, Maury delivers the bad news that the company funding the film has gone bankrupt because of YouTube so the film will not be distributed. Also, Chang gets kicked out of Hollywood for talking back to Steven Spielberg, after which he is promptly replaced by Randall Park. This forces him to go crawling back to Greendale.

The group is planning an alumni dinner and during the meeting, Chang goes on a bizarre tangent about knowing how to use PowerPoint. Meanwhile, the Dean falls prey to some guerrilla tactics employed by Honda so Frankie needs to freezie-weezie the school's assets for the time being. Britta and Annie note how Elroy doesn't seem to like the new group and they lament no longer having Troy in the group so Jeff plants the seed that Troy's ability to play steel drums was integral to why he was so special.

Britta's ex-boyfriend Rick, AKA Subway, is back in town and Annie gives her a warning so she can keep herself from spiralling down that black hole. Unfortunately, she proceeds to go running off to find him and Britta greets him with some face-slaps. He pleads his case and the two end up hooking up in the back of his Honda. He claims that he can pursue a real relationship with her but she has to hide when the Dean shows up (the Dean has bought a Honda and is apparently a 'Level-7 Susceptible' to guerrilla tactic advertising).

The rest of the group plays a game of The Ears Have It! in order to bond with Elroy and better integrate him into their group dynamics. Though he bonds with a majority of the group, it turns out that it's Jeff that he is unable or perhaps uninterested with bonding with.

Britt unintentionally meets Rick's Honda Boss, who allows them to pursue a relationship if they will work together to implement this guerrilla tactic for Honda. It's not clear why she agrees to it, perhaps falling under the influence of the advertising herself. Frankie figures out that the new kid, Rick, is the one who is responsible for all this Honda advertising. Britta has brought Rick home to meet her parents but becomes perturbed when he tries to use the tactics on her parents and also insists on liking Avatar simply because it is an enormously popular film. She later breaks up with him because she wants to be with "the real him" but he claims that this is who he is.

Jeff hires the band Natalie is Freezing for the alumni dance to play the song "Pillar of Garbage" and Elroy becomes furious. Elroy later admits to Britta that he used to date the band's lead singer Julie and she messed him up pretty good. Jeff had tried to hire the band in order to make Elroy like him but it backfired. Rick shows up saying that he'll quit his job at Honda for Britta and that he loves her. She is overjoyed. Rick says he wants to do one last job when he hears Frankie baiting him and Britta realises that she can't be with him. Rick is removed from campus due to the trap Frankie and the Dean set.

Elroy patches things up with Julie and when Jeff tells him he wants them to be friends, Elroy says he likes him but that they'll never be friends. Then, the Honda Boss employs another failed attempt at disappearing mysteriously, and Frankie playing steel drums on stage with Natalie is Freezing at the alumni dinner. Britta goes to play a game of The Ears Have It! with her parents to take her mind off of her break-up with Rick but their ability to ask eerily specific questions and win immediately only annoys her and she storms off in a huff.

The school's system gets hacked and the hacker threatens to publish emails that would reflect badly on Greendale unless an appearance of a racist comic is cancelled. The e-mails are released and everyone reads highlights of it. A cyber crimes unit is called in to investigate and the group decides they need to work on it too though the hacker is threatening next to unleash the secrets of the activities group.

They hold a press conference to say that the performance will go on as planned, as a matter of principle. As promised, the group's e-mails have been leaked. The group gets into arguments because they all read each other's leaked e-mails even though they promised not to. The only one who did as he was supposed to was Abed. They all fight over the rude things they've said about and done to each other. After a series of fights in the group, Abed tries to read the content in order to fit in but doesn't find any of the bad stuff.

The arguments are broken up by the arrival of the Dean who has brought the racist comedian, Gupta. The group proposes that they've done the right thing once Gupti thanks them for not cancelling on them. They decide that this time the hackers haven't won. The hacker sends another message threatening that everyone's information will be leaked if the show isn't stopped. Britta and the rest of the gang forces Gupta to go on stage and he proceeds to spout all his racist jokes while the rest of the group keeps an angry mob out. It's then that everyone's information is released.

The group reflects on all that has happened and tries to figure out what lesson they've learned from all of this, brainstorming on it all. They're interrupted by the local police officer who has brought the hacker, a young boy who lived across the street from campus. After the boy is taken away, the group decides the lesson to be learned is that crime doesn't pay. They then apologise to one another for the things they have done.

Frankie brings news that Greendale can make some more money if they allow prisoners to attend the school through the use of telepresence robots because the government is offering a $300,000 incentive. One of the convicts in Jeff's class tries to murder him by pushing him down some stairs but it doesn't work since the telepresence robot lacks the type of strength to be able to send Jeff flying.

Britta wants to throw a party but Annie is forbidding it since Britta hasn't been living there long enough to make those types of decisions within the apartment. Since Abed has been living there longer than Annie, Britta tries to convince him to overrule Annie's decision but he isn't all that interested in making that happen. Britta gets Abed to get the party happen by spinning it as a film project for Abed involving a party that breaks all of Annie's rules. Annie ominously warns Britta that before this is all over, she will beg for Annie's forgiveness.

Jeff tries to tell the Dean that Willie tried to murder him but Willie is already chatting to the Dean to tell on Jeff for half-assing his duties as a teacher. Jeff's feud with Willie escalates until Jeff pushes Willie's telepresence robot down the stairs. The Dean has made friends with Willie by this point so Jeff is reprimanded.

Annie convinces Abed to relentlessly film his movie which means a never-ending party for Britta. Britta is forced to beg Annie for forgiveness and tell Abed that parties and his film are stupid. Abed is hurt but stops the party.

The Dean is preparing to hire Willie to work at Greendale so Jeff shows up using a telepresence robot. He gives a heartfelt(ish) apology to the Dean and Willie is revealed to not actually be a murderer but a wrongfully convicted prisoner. Willie is infuriated to have lost his credibility as a scary criminal and gets into a fight with Jeff on his telepresence robot which ends when the Dean shuts him off. The rehabilitation program is aborted but the group enjoys using the telepresence robots.

Chang is preparing to audition for a theatre production of "The Karate Kid" and the rest of the gang is upset by the fact that the school's wifi is broken. They push the Dean to get it fixed and he pushes the responsibility onto Frankie. The Dean is later offered the opportunity to be on the school board but it's more so because the current members need a token homosexual to make themselves look better and more tolerant.

When Abed and Elroy find the router, they find a bird's nest there. Abed doesn't want it moved because the mother won't come back if they do. Elroy relents to Abed's wishes and refuses to work on the wifi until the bird's nest leaves and the Dean supports their decision upon learning of it.

Chang goes to his audition and Annie tags along as support. The director asks Annie to read the part of Daniel and Chang to read as Mr. Miyagi and proceeds to cast them as such. The director consistently berates and degrades Chang for apparently being a bad actor and praises Annie for anything and everything she does. Annie feels bad about Chang's treatment but doesn't want to make waves in such a way that would make her lose the part. Annie eventually threatens to walk out if the director doesn't start treating Chang better but the director is fine with the notion of her doing so, saying that the Karate Kid is actually all about Miyagi's story. He goes on to say that he cast Annie because she has the right measurements to reuse last year's wardrobe, whereas Chang was cast because he has the sadness and talent that could make the show great with the right guidance. He says he's been nice to Annie because she's not capable of any better than what she's been giving. Annie is fired from the play.

The Dean seeks the council of Frankie and Jeff on whether he should take the position on the school board if it means making his still-unspecified sexuality a token. He decides to take it but begins to feel like a joke upon doing so but also is touched when a gay student tells him he's inspired by his coming out and being a successful gay man. The Dean gets in trouble from the school board for not fixing the wi-fi just because of a bird's nest. He proceeds to call security to try to get Abed and Elroy to move. They're forced to relent and tend to the nest themselves, allowing the birds to hatch. Unfortunately, the majority of the birds do not survive. The Dean continues to feel conflicted, despite the inspiration he has provided to gay students. He calls a press conference to say that he is not "gay," but a politician. He hopes that people can accept an openly political person on the board and walks out. After that, he is kicked off the board.

The dean has to make amends with the group and learns that all but one of the birds is dead. The group heads out to see Chang act in the stage version of the Karate Kid. Annie is jealous over being replaced but as the play carries on, the entire audience (including the group) is highly moved by the play and Chang's performance. Finally, the group gathers around while Abed prepares to release the lone surviving bird from the nest. It flies off into the distance before landing on the school's generator to presumably start a nest of its own there.

Annie calls an emergency meeting at Greendale and as she has Frankie tell the Dean to notify the others, we learn that Jeff has given the Dean a fake number that isn't even American (it's Japanese). Admittedly, he denies the truth of the reality when confronted with the notion that Jeff did so. Annie has learned that a rival school, City College, will be airing a smear ad against Greendale. Abed is able to find the video before it airs and through this, they learn that Greendale had once given a degree to a dog.

Annie and Jeff butt heads over how to spin this story. Annie wants to deal with the truth head on, whereas Jeff says that if the story can't be proven by City College then it can be considered libel (regardless of whether it's the truth). Jeff says they should deny the accusations or go after the dog itself. Annie and Frankie investigate the dog and find that it did take classes but don't find a degree.

Britta and Elroy bond over their tastes in music, after Elroy had previously helped her by giving her a pair of pants after she had drunkenly soiled herself.

Annie then decides that it's immoral to have the ad yanked based on a technicality (the dog's degree was withheld due to library fees that hadn't been paid) and doesn't want them to do this. The group remains determined to save Greendale so Annie storms out. Annie then decides she should enrol in City College instead but as she's filling out the application. Abed then shows her the ad they decided to play instead which shows the Dean with the dog, saying that Greendale is an accepting place at which hard work yields good results.

Chang then arrives with a dirty film he had shot at City College but it doesn't work out well since he was wearing a Greendale shirt so the sabotage is less than effective.

The Japanese teenager the Dean had been texting tries to come clean about who he is but the Dean still insists on believing it's Jeff he's texting.

The Dean purchases a $5,000 virtual reality system that he is enjoying but Frankie and Jeff are astounded by his irresponsibility. They have him navigate through the system to find the serial number so they can try to return it. The Dean doesn't want to return it so with a great deal of effort, he deletes the serial number within the system.

Britta is going to move into Annie and Abed's place and becomes suspicious when she arrives and finds a new sofa with her name on it. She then learns that her parents had reached out to Annie and Abed to supplement her rent. Britta is furious, claiming her parents are awful though Annie and Abed say they were very nice. Meanwhile, Chang is running around delirious, having suffered from a severe cat bite on his hand.

Britta tells Jeff about her parents and Jeff said they have paid off all the money she owes them so if she owes anyone money it's them. Britta claims she has no friends and Chang still hasn't found his way to the nurse and his hand is swelling up fast.

Jeff makes it to the inventor of the virtual reality system, Elroy Patashnik, who is living in his trailer. Elroy won't give the money back when Jeff says there's no serial number left and that it feels better to stop lying for a living.

Britta returns home to give her parents money on a check postdated for a year from now. They're nothing but loving and supporting but Britta resents them for how strict and micromanaging they were when she was younger. They were apparently out of it in her youth. Britta is further angered when she realises Annie and Abed are hiding in her parents' living room. Britta tries to run off but her car is broken so she steals a kid's bike and her parents pay the kid off for the trouble.

Elroy then shows up to tell Dean Pelton that the system is lame and to issue a refund. Elroy then says he's going in after Dean Pelton and pulls out his own equipment to get into the system. He baits Dean Pelton with the promise of power to manipulate worlds while Jeff pulls the system off of him. Once the Dean has returned to normal, he gives Elroy a $500 check and plants the seed to get him to eventually enlist in a class(es) at Greendale, which makes Jeff ponder at who he'll never get out of there.

Frankie returns to her car and finds Britta sleeping in the back seat. She tells Britta that they must all learn the hard lesson that their parents are only human. Annie then returns home to patch things up with her parents and Chang arrives shortly thereafter to ask for help about his hand.

After a disastrous roof-collapsing incident at Greendale, Deal Pelton hires Francesca "Frankie" Dart as a consultant to help improve the school. She's no-nonsense and has very clear ideas on what needs to be done but our favourite study group isn't fond of her methods. Jeff is mad at her getting rid of the liquor, Britta is mad she's insulting her ability to run Shirley's sandwich shop, and Annie is annoyed that Frankie is vastly more efficient than she is. Jeff notes that fixing things too much would make Greendale stop being Greendale. She seems to get on well with Abed, though. The group wants to band together against Frankie, and they ignore Abed's suggestion that they're just overreacting to change. He won't join their secret committee against Frankie. Britta starts to sell booze at the sandwich shop while Abed agrees to work with Frankie to "save Greendale." Abed visits the Sandwich Shop and is sent to the back where he finds that the gang has set up a roaring-1920s bar. The gang is happy that they've raised enough money to save Shirley's shop. Abed is happy to be back with his friends and enjoys some drinks with them. The next day when he returns to work with Frankie, she becomes concerned that his work isn't as good. Abed returns to the bar to enjoy time with his friends and then Frankie comes barging in. As it turns out, she knew about the bar the whole time but she then scolds them for getting Abed involved and claims he deserves better. She also claims he doesn't know any better and it's clear that she's dropped the ball. She has no one on her side now so everyone on campus proceeds to drink and celebrate, doing just as they please. Frankie leaves the school and then Greendale is left without insurance but Jeff tells Dean Pelton to just use what was her salary to cover the cost. But the drunken shenanigans begin to lead to people getting injured. With the medical bills and lawsuits, the group realises they need to buckle down and be serious. Jeff and Abed go hunt down Frankie at her job application and they give her a "montage" of apologies along with the promise that she won't be making much working at Greendale but she agrees to come back, particularly since the job she was interviewing for wasn't about to hire her anyway. She brings out her binder and prepares to implement various plans to save the school.
