- A fellow student has died and Biology class has been canceled, meaning everyone has to retake it in summer school. When the memorial service turns into a riot, Chang is granted special authoritative powers.
- Annie, Abed, and Troy gather to watch the video will of the recently deceased Star-Burns (RIP). "If you're watching this, it means I'm dead ... or I'm just showing you this ... but I'm probably dead," says Star-Burns, explaining that he leaves herpes to his ex (she already knows it) and his Styx collection to no one (because no one appreciated Styx like he did). To Abed, Star-Burns leaves the task of creating a video tribute of his life. Abed then points out Star-Burns' ashes on the shelf. "If we rub it, will he come out and do celebrity impressions?" Troy asks. The answer: no. "Then I want it out of here," says Troy, unamused.
At the library, the gang considers the recent death. "I say we honor Star-Burns by discussing him the same amount we did when he was alive," Jeff suggests. In other words, they stop talking about him altogether. Annie objects, claiming Star-Burns was actually a "human being." Britta volunteers to help, pasting star-shaped stickers next to her ears and inviting the group to talk to her as if she were Star-Burns. "Why did you alway poop with the stall door open?" Troy asks. Ben then visits Craig with a request for increased security in light of Star-Burns meth lab explosion death. But Craig refuses to authorize the use of pepper spray and the banning of soft-serve ice cream.
Craig then dons a can-can dancer's dress and breaks some bad news to the study buddies: after the explosion, the chemistry teacher resigned and chem class has been cancelled. "Your grade is now incomplete, you'll have to make up the grade in the summer," Craig says. Says Jeff: "Noooooooo!" Later, Garrett sings "Ava Maria" at tribute to Star-Burns followed by Jeff's "eulogy" in which he salutes Star-Burns for doing the one thing everybody else has failed to do: get out of Greendale. He is followed by Annie, who strikes a surprisingly similar tone. "Our school flag is an anus!," she yells. "We're not even the best community college in our community!" Nobody, it seems, likes summer school.
The student body starts to get rowdy. Craig starts to get scared. Ben sees his chance and gets the dean to sign is list of new security protocols. Pierce, in the meantime, calmly asks Craig if, as a 10-year student, he can say a few words. "Let's burn this mother down!" Pierce screams. Suddenly, Ben's team of pre-pubescent security guards enters and begins to mace the students. Subdued, the gang heads to the infirmary where Craig informs them -- "the Greendale 7" -- that they will go before the board for starting a riot. Pierce suggests that the board question the crazy head of security who ordered 12-year-olds to spray everyone in the face with poison. Craig agrees.
Naturally, Ben isn't happy with the news. "I think we're going to have to let you go," Craig tells the security extremist. Ben decides to take matters into his own hands. He opens the door to let in Craig's doppelgänger -- right down to the heavy glasses and slumped shoulders. Ben then shoots Craig with a tranquilizer dart. The dean has been replaced by Ben's minion. At the board hearing, the Greendale 7 is now back on trial. Jeff rises and claims that the group was grieving the loss of Star-Burns -- only to have their emotions further inflamed by a psychopathic security employee. The fake Craig then enters and tells the board that the Greendale 7 "has to go." Coup complete.
Expelled from Greendale, the group retreats to Abed and Troy's apartment. "Things are bad, but we're together," Abed says. So the former students share a pizza and a bottle of booze.
