In the episode, Jeff tries to help Britta regain the balance in their relationship after an embarrassing drunk dial by her. Meanwhile, Annie and Shirley's plan to take revenge on Chang for humiliating Troy and Pierce goes awry. The episode was written by Chris McKenna and directed by Adam Davidson. It received mostly positive critical reviews. ==Plot== Jeff (Joel McHale) is invited to Greendale College's Valentine's Day dance by his girlfriend and statistics professor, Michelle (Lauren Stamile). On the way to the library, he discovers a voicemail of Britta (Gillian Jacobs) drunk dialing him in the previous night. At the library, Annie (Alison Brie), Shirley (Yvette Nicole Brown) and Abed (Danny Pudi) receive Valentine's Day gifts, but Troy (Donald Glover) and Pierce (Chevy Chase) do not. Jeff plays a hungover Britta the message she left him, poking fun at the "booty call implication (BCI)," leaving her humiliated. The BCI changes Jeff and Britta's mutually snarky relationship as she is too embarrassed to talk to him. Abed explains that the only way they can go back to the old relationship is for her to see him embarrass himself. In order for Jeff to make a believable drunk dial, he and Abed spend the evening getting wasted. The next day, they discover that Jeff made calls to Michelle and Britta, but don't remember anything about either of them. At Spanish class, the Greendale Human Being delivers Valentine's gifts to Troy and Pierce. Señor Chang (Ken Jeong) knows right away that the presents were sent by themselves to make it look like they have girlfriends. Chang humiliates them in front of the class. Later, Annie and Shirley devise a plan to prank Chang in revenge. The next day in class, Chang receives a letter purportedly from Princeton offering him an associate professor position. He instantly calls the bluff, and blames Troy and Pierce for the failed prank. In retribution, he forces them to escort him to the Valentine's dance wearing ladies' pantsuits and threatens to fail them if they refuse. At the dance, Michelle is upset at Jeff for drunk calling her and then hanging up after discovering she wasn't Britta. Jeff tries to come clean, but Michelle is unconvinced. Troy and Pierce are dressed up in pantsuits and ready to hit the dance floor, but are stopped by Annie and Shirley. Annie and Shirley confess to sending the fake letter and have decided to tell Chang the truth so that they can suffer the consequences. However, Troy and Pierce are touched by their gesture, and follow through with their embarrassing ordeal. Britta shows up all dressed up and tells Jeff that he invited her to the dance. Jeff panics and confesses that his relationship with Michelle is on the rocks because of the drunk dials. Britta then reveals that he didn't actually invite her and that she dressed up to pull the prank on him because "() worth it." She then plays the drunk dial she received from Jeff to Michelle in which he calls Michelle "a perfect girlfriend", which leads to Jeff and Michelle's reconciliation. However, Britta privately reveals to Jeff that she only played a short segment of a much longer message. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Communication Studies (Community)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
