Scene Synopsis -

Scene 1 Baby Shower (00:00:00 - 00:02:42) view scene

Annie hosts a baby shower for Shirley that is Chinese and Ghanaian-themed since the father of the child could either be Chang or Andre. Andre is committed to being a father either way, but Shirley doesn't want Chang to be in the child's life despite his enthusiasm. Meanwhile, Britta has a crush on Troy and Abed's new friend Lukka, but Troy tells her to stay away from him. Jeff notes that this guarantees that she'll find a way to have sex with Lukka.

Britta shows up at Abed's dorm when he, Troy, and Lukka are playing video games. She and Lukka flirt and she gives him her number.

While Britta and Lukka are making out at his apartment, she tells him not to tell Troy and Abed what's going on. Lukka says that he can keep a secret, as he's from the Balkans and therefore used to not talking about many things. This turns Britta on. She surmised about all the suffering Lukka must have endures, but in fact, Lukka misses being part of the ethnic cleansing movement and the way he used to make people suffer.

Jeff gives Chang the papers Shirley gave him. Chang starts crying because he really does want to be part of the baby's life.

Shirley confronts Jeff, saying that she doesn't want Chang in the baby's life whether he has his life together or not.

Scene 7 Maybe. We. Do. (00:11:06 - 00:12:32) view scene

Lukka's skill in the video game he plays with Troy and Abed mirrors his skill in terrorizing people back in the Balkans. Britta tries to make Troy and Abed aware that his bloodlust isn't limited to the videogame but it doesn't work. Lukka asks Abed if he can borrow one of his DVDs but Abed says that anyone who takes it will face dire consequences. This gives Britta an idea.
