A fun little Community history lesson, that episode was almost the series finale.
As fans at the time remember, ratings were so low there was a looming fear it could be dropped by NBC any day. This was the halfway point of the 3rd season and it got short-ordered, which usually is the death kiss for a cable sitcom. Luckily it was able to finish its 3rd season and "wrap up," and instead of canceling the show they fired Harmon instead for S4. I remember hating this ep at the time, only for the fear it was how the show would've been sent off after all of its build up.
