As the rest of the group gathers to stud Spanish, Dean Pelton interrupts to ask Troy to join the struggling GCC football team. Troy doesn't want to do it because he left the sport at the top of his game. Pierce, on the other hand, volunteers to design the mascot for the team, which is incidentally named the Human Beings. Shirley asks Britta to accompany her to the bathroom and Britta declines, misreading the stereotypical cue to join in some girl talk. Abed decides to lay low for an episode. read less

Jeff discovers that Dean Pelton is using his face on promotional posters in the school. Britta asks Shirley to go to the bathroom with her as a make-up gesture, only to defend the driver Shirley complains about to her and to criticize her upcoming spa visit.

Pierce shows Pelton his prototype Human Being, but the dean suggests something more inclusive to all races and genders. Jeff confronts Pelton about the posters, only to be shown promotional mailers with him on it. Jeff explains that if people find out that he's at Greendale, it could hurt his law career once he resumes it. Dean Pelton makes him a deal: either get Troy to join the football team so he can use him as the new representative of GCC, or he'll send the Jeff-featured flyers to every law... read more Pierce shows Pelton his prototype Human Being, but the dean suggests something more inclusive to all races and genders.

Shirley declines Britta's offer to accompany her to the bathroom again. Jeff takes Troy away from studying with Annie and preys on his low self-esteem to convince him to play football again.

Britta confronts Shirley about rejecting her company in the bathroom. Shirley explains to Britta that the ladies' room is a place to share personal information and not be judgemental or unsympathetic. Troy walks in, bursting with new-found confidence as he announces that he is now on the football team. Annie is very upset because he's now the arrogant Troy he was in high school. She tells this to him, but Troy says that Jeff told him she'd say that.

Jeff encounters Pierce and Dean Pelton trying to make the perfect non-ethnic, non-gender-specific mascot. Jeff tells the dean that Troy's on the team now, but Pelton won't get rid of the flyers and posters until Troy shows up for the press at at the pep rally.

Annie demands to know why Jeff is making Troy play football again. He explains the situation to her and she calls him selfish. According to Jeff, Annie is the selfish one: she wants Troy so much that she wants to keep him from doing what he wants just so she can have him all to herself, which she never got to do in high school. Annie knows Jeff is right, but she sulks away.

A distraught Annie asks Shirley to come to the bathroom with her, but Shirley sends Britta to do her job. Annie is hesitant, but she confides her fear that once Troy becomes the star of the football team again, he wouldn't want her because he could have any girl. Annie basically solves her own dilemma, but she thanks Britta anyway. Shirley comes in to hug Britta for finally understanding ladies' room compassion.

Jeff advises Troy not to go to the pep rally because it will only give him a false sense of pride. Troy admits that he injured himself on purpose in high school because a scout was coming and by then, he couldn't take any more competition. However, now that he's at Greendale, he can just play for fun. Troy tells Jeff he should just accept being at Greendale too, and make the most of it. Annie comes out to support Troy and Jeff apologizes to her.
