Did anyone else have a full storyline planned out? My imaginary episode was called "The Business of Fashion" and was about the Dean possibly losing all of his fashionable outfits... I probably got a little too into it.

My story took the title literally. There is a campus wide power outage at Greendale so lights out. This has never happened before, so the Dean puts on his timeline hoodie and places Greendale on lockdown.

Realizing that they're trapped, the students start to go crazy and become more deranged. The study group is holding on to their humanity because they have each other. But suddenly Chang reemerges and claims to know where a backup generator is (because there's always one).

The study group is seeing that the lack of power is making the students and faculty lose their shit, so even though they don't trust Chang, they agree to follow him. However, Chang says that his redemption is at hand.

After going through a serie(s) of secret passageways, Chang leads the group to a backup generator.

But it's a trap, and isn't it always? There is no backup generator, because Greendale.

Dean Spreck from City College is there and congratulates Chang on a job well done leading the group. Chang reveals to the group that he's only working with Spreck because he gave him a storage room to live in at CC.

Jeff demands to know what Dean Spreck wants. Spreck complies. He tells the group that he had a greendale student converted, and arranged for him to cause the power outage as a distraction.

"A distraction for what?" asks Britta.

Outside on campus, a tank appears.

Fade to black. (To be continued never)

End tag: Troy and Abed are in their respective rooms communicating with walkie talkies, acting like spies. Britta (who's with Troy), ruins it by pointing out that they both have cell phones.

Author's Note. Okay, so obviously I didn't tweet all of this. I came up with the full detailed story you just read on the spot. But here is the proof that I did come up with this story idea.

Wow, major bonus points for making a theme out of darkest! That, if I may say so, is impressively clever, and worth more than the single upvote I can give.

Thanks. I was inspired. Community, and its fandom does the trick I suppose.

That was a great ep!

I think I like the idea best that the next episode just never talks about it.

There are oblique references throughout the season, until they finally do a fake clip show and show what happened.

Mine involved a Lawrence of Arabia parody, Shirley singing a James Bond theme song, Jeff turning into Dr. House, and Abed's screenwriting instructor Mr. Harmon getting killed off in the cold open.

Let's see, what else did I have...

-Annie's got a gun! -A Seven Samurai parody (I didn't elaborate any further) -"Oooh - Network Executive Burn!" - Troy -In the LoA parody, I imagined Annie as Sharif Ali making the mirage entrance as the show came back from commerical. -The first few seconds of the cold open started with Chang doing a striptease. Without explanation.

An episode full of wingers, Troy crying, and Annie's boobs.
