In Community season 3 episode 4, titled "Remedial Chaos Theory," the study group gathers at Troy and Abed's apartment for a game night. When Jeff rolls a loaded dice that determines which member of the group has to go downstairs to get the pizza, chaos ensues. Each time someone leaves, a different scenario plays out based on who is there to interact with the remaining members of the group. The episode explores alternative timelines and the consequences of even the smallest actions.
As the episode progresses, we see the different versions of reality that occur based on which member of the group leaves the apartment to get the pizza. Each scenario that plays out has varying levels of hilarity, from Abed going full-on insane, to Shirley becoming a raging alcoholic, to Britta inspiring a full-blown police investigation.
Throughout the episode, we also see the characters' relationships with each other develop and change depending on who is present in each reality. For example, in one version of events where Pierce leaves to get the pizza, the group gets into a physical altercation and we see the toll it takes on their friendships.
