As Subway makes plans to purchase the Greendale campus for their own Subway University, the study group members contemplate the end of an era. Jeff (Joel McHale) considers a generous offer of employment he has received from Subway, while Britta (Gillian Jacobs) considers an offer she has received from Jeff. Subway enlists Chang (Ken Jeong) to spy on the group as part of its plan to take over the school.[5] Meanwhile, Dean Pelton (Jim Rash) tells Annie (Alison Brie) and Abed (Danny Pudi) about Greendale’s first Dean Russell Borchert (Chris Elliott), which leads to an interesting and potentially lucrative discovery in the walls of Greendale.[1] Once Shirley (Yvette Nicole Brown) and Hickey (Jonathan Banks) locate the school’s blueprints, Annie and Abed lead the search for Borchert’s old computer lab, which was sealed off years ago.[6]
