Annie manages to recruit Jeff to the debate team with the help of the Dean who promises him a parking space. At first, Jeff decides to wing it since he used to get paid for arguing with people. Up against their rivals however, he turns the debate into American Idol and is only awarded eight points. Actually, the eight points went to Annie, and their rivals get 50 points. After some taunting, Jeff and Annie decide to actually study and debate the crap out of the other team the next day.

Abed is making movies that seemingly predict the future, like Pierce hurting his leg, Troy crying, and knowing what Shirley is going to say next. And, are you ready for this: Jeff and Annie kissing. Everyone agrees that this could never happen, (along with the other part of the video: Shirley getting attacked by a werewolf.) and Shirley jokingly brings it up to Annie and Jeff as they study. Awkwardness ensues, but the next day at the debate, they bring it! The debate is whether man is inherently good or evil, and to start it off, Jeff quotes Jesus. The final rebuttal comes up, and the rivals will need a miracle to win. The rival debater, who is in a wheel chair, flings himself out of it, and Jeff catches him, proving that MAN IS GOOD! Annie sees the win slipping from their grasp, and she kisses Jeff, causing him to drop the paralyzed man. “JEFF WAS HORNY, SO HE DROPPED HIM. MAN IS EVIL!” And with that, Greendale wins, and everyone is more convinced that Abed is psychic.

Pierce is trying to help Britta stop smoking, even though the study group wants her to keep smoking because it makes her attitude oh so much better. He claims to be able to hypnotize people, so she gives it the old college (no pun intended) try. She humors him by pretending to be out of it, even when he falls over and hurts his leg. During their second session, as she’s ‘under’, he tries to suggest a threesome in a hot tub, and she’s so disgusted she bolts upright. He says he knew she was faking it, and how dare she pity him. He falls again, but tells her not to help. The next day though, when she goes to light up a cigarette, all that she can think of is a threesome in a hot tub, and she calls Pierce a genius – another prophecy from Abed’s videos. Shocked, Abed goes after Shirley, concerned for her safety, on this the night of the full moon.

There were a lot of great lines, but my favorite happens to be from Shirley to Abed:

“What do you need the newspaper for? You knew what was going to happen yesterday you Middle-Eastern magic 8 ball!”

So, classic question for you all: With all of the possible romances, who is your money on for most likely to hook up? I know everyone’s going with Britta and Jeff, but remember Annie and Troy? They were cute, and I like where that was going. Leave me your Two Cents in the comments!
