In Community season 3 episode 7, titled Studies In Modern Movement, the study group embarks on a unique real estate field trip. Annie's pen pal, who she believes to be a teenage girl, sends her a message inquiring about the Greendale campus modernization project. Annie sets up a fake campus tour to impress her pen pal, and the group tags along.
After meeting with the admissions officer, the group learns about the new student housing complex designed by Pierce's father. They are given a tour of the complex by Pierce, who is excited to show off his family's work. However, the group soon realizes that the complex is poorly designed, and the rooms do not have doors. They discover that Pierce's father is a notorious slumlord, and his new project is no exception.
Shirley is excited about the idea of living in the new housing complex, but quickly changes her mind after seeing the cramped and uncomfortable living spaces. Abed, on the other hand, is fascinated by the building's modern architecture and decides to create a film based on the complex.
Meanwhile, Jeff and Britta are dealing with their own personal issues. Jeff is trying to avoid his new girlfriend, who he finds suffocatingly clingy. He confides in Britta, and she tells him to be honest with her. Britta, on the other hand, is dealing with her own insecurities and enrolls in a dance class to boost her confidence.
As the group explores the complex, they begin to uncover more of Pierce's family secrets, including a hidden tunnel that leads to a secret room filled with his father's memorabilia. The group debates what to do with the information and how to help Pierce confront his family's legacy.
Overall, Community season 3 episode 7 is a hilarious and insightful episode that explores the intersection of modern architecture, real estate, and personal relationships. The episode continues the show's tradition of using clever satire and pop culture references to explore deep and complex themes.
