Community S5E7 - "Bondage and Beta Male Sexuality" Recap

Professor Duncan asks for Jeff's help to seduce Britta. Jeff tells him to feign interest in social activist causes. At the study group, Duncan announces there's an event going on for starving children with cleft palates but then the entire group wants to come and show their support, thus throwing a wrench in his plans to be alone with Britta.

Abed accidentally gets foam all over Hickey's comics and Hickey decides to give him a dose of reality by handcuffing him to a cabinet, making him miss the plans he had to see a film. Abed is frequently coddled by the groups around him and he has yet to learn about the consequences of his actions.

Jeff comes to realise he still has feelings for Britta and become competitive with Duncan. Britta becomes self-conscious around her old anarchist friends. When she realises she doesn't have their approval, Duncan halts his attempts to seduce her. He gives her a ride home, during which she reminds him that he and Jeff have been friends longer than anyone.

Chang's storyline about ghosts is a bit random, but Ken Jeong delivers solid comedy as usual. This episode highlights certain character's vulnerabilities and delivers baby steps for personal growth. It's a nice change of pace to mix things up a bit but hopefully more mad shenanigans unique to Community will be delivered in the upcoming episode(s).

Community airs on Thursday on NBC at 8/7c.
