The Greendale Seven are expelled from community college.
May God have mercy on their souls.
Course Listing Unavailable began with the reading of Star-Burns will.

Actually,heread it to us himself via a grainy, self-produced video.
Sadly, it was the latter.
Death is hard to deal with, we all know, and Star-Burns passing particularly affected Troy.
The study group was understandably depressed.
Something really serious had happened, and Annie suggested that they had to face it head-on.
Is italwaysabout the Holocaust with you people?
Death is a reality that we all have to face.
Its a natural part of life.
After all, by the time he finished that sentenceor I finish typingthissentence100 people will have died in China.
Of course, Britta was there to offer her (lack of) grief-counseling skills.
Of course, they really just wanted to ask the big questions: Whats heaven like?
Glittery.Have you seen Tim Russert?
Line of the Night #3, Courtesy of Shirley.
My God, how amazing wasthat?
Seriously, Tim Russert was awesome.
A fine journalist and a charismatic guy.
Though obviously Shirley would disagree.
NEXT: The Dean delivers tragic news to the study group, and its not about Star-Burns.
Garrett proves he is very muchnotsaved.
Rejoice, EW.com commenterchewbaccasmom!
As you said last night during ourCommunitylive chat, I have found my sanitizing, stapling song at last.
Has Dean Pelton officially become Pee-Wee Herman?
Liquids of more than three ounces, be gone!
And then, of course, the Dean stopped by to make a bad situation even worse.
Garrett began by singing a glass-shatteringly high-pitched rendition of Ave Maria.
I believe it was Gounods version.
Also, whats higher than falsetto?
Because I think Garrett found it.
Jeff took the mic to say that hed reached acceptance over Star-Burns death, prompting a Whoo!
It wasntthatkind of acceptance, though.
Instead, she went on her own fiery rant.
Letthatsink in!If you ask me, thats way harsh.
We all know Greendale has the most advanced typing course in the southeastern Greendale area.
At least Shirley could bring some of her soulful Christianity to bear at the wake, right?
As much as the Dean wanted, there was no way of keeping this wake light.
And he had a full riot on his hands once Pierce shouted, Lets burn it to the ground!
Vicki shouted Helter Skelter!
and trashcans were tossed, cafetorium tables were overturned, and Subway was thoroughly raided.
Its so peppery, indeed, Garrett.
The riot was bad.
But Changs response to the riot was even worse.
The Dean prepared to tell him that he was fired.
Phase One was complete.
Hopefully the manager there likesDie Hard.
NEXT: Life After Expulsion, Or Is This Really the Darkest Timeline After All?
The study group was dejected.
I was going to be the first in my family to graduate from community college, Troy said.
Everybody else graduated fromrealcollege.
Now theyre really going to give me a hard time.
In an ingenious episode throw-back, Abed now concluded that this may have been the darkest timeline after all.
Actually, since they were all still together, this was theidealtimeline.
And Britta, per Troy, wasnt the worst.
She was the best.
Unless…were thinking about this all the wrong way.
Weve assumed that all of these timelines are discrete.
But what if they can overlap?
What if the barriers between these different quantum realities are breaking down.
Think about it…a one-armed lawyer dropped off that videotape of Star-Burns for Troy.
Could it have been Jeff Winger from a different timeline, but in disguise?
I mean, Jeff is also a lawyer.
And he lost an arm in that darkest timeline.
Which also means that, in another timeline, Star-Burns is still alive!
Were into full-blownFringeterritory here, my friends.
What did you think of Course Listing Unavailable and more importantly what are your favorite memories of Star-Burns?
His failed Greendale presidential bid?
The fact that, as HanleyUS noted, he once called Annie Hannah?
And did Star-Burns tribute to Styx topSouth Parks?
