What Season 2 of Community

Season two picks up with the study group back on campus. Britta is still stung by Jeff's rejection in front of everyone, and the tension between them drives much of the early episodes. Annie is now Jeff's love interest, with glances and gestures that hint at what they feel for each other. Shirley is expecting a baby without knowing whether Chang or her ex-husband is the father, adding a mystery to her everyday life. Pierce fights for the spotlight among his classmates, Abed blurs fiction and reality, and Dean Pelton launches wild schemes to get ahead of other universities. Chang, meanwhile, tries to fit into a group that never quite accepts him.
