At Jeff’s apartment, Jenna surges as she looks at her homework lay out at the dinner table. Jeff leaves his bedroom as he gets ready to go.
“Where are you going?” Jenna asks.
“I’m going to Abed and Annie’s apartment. The group and I are going to play D &D to help Hickey reconnect with his son.” Jeff said.
“I thought he went to his son’s wedding?” Jenna asks.
“That was Furio. His other son Hank is the one that we’re going to help with.” Jeff said.
“So can I come?” Jenna asks.
“No, you’re still grounded, remember.” Jeff said.
“Come on, Jeff. You know I’m not going to just stay here.” Jenna said.
“Yes, which is why I got you a babysitter.” Jeff said.
“Babysitter!” Jenna scoffs.
The doorbell rings as Jeff opens it to reveal Professor Ian Duncan. Duncan walks in and sets himself up at the couch as he turns on the TV.
“Liverpool vs Manchester United.” Duncan said.
“Ohh.” Jenna said as she nods.
“Alright I’ll see you guys later.” Jeff said as he leaves.
Duncan takes his glance from the TV to Jenna.
“I’ve been meaning to ask. That allergy thing. Does that mean you can’t drink Scotch?” Duncan asks as Jenna is unable to a respond.

As Jeff sits down with the group as they are about to play, he looks down at his character sheet. His attention captures the name that
is on his sheet: “Hector the Well-Endowed” He quickly gets his poker face back on as Abed begins the introductions.

The game plays on the TV at Jeff’s apartment. Jenna has given up on doing her homework as she is now at the couch with Duncan enjoying
the game. The table is filled with food and drinks.
“You know, I’ve been meaning to ask.” Jenna starts to say as she takes a sip from a bottle of water. “What is up with Greendale? The people there do some weird stuff. We spent a full week worshipping a cat app.”
“Weird? I don’t think there’s anything weird about our school besides weren’t you a part of that app thing?” Duncan asks.
“Yeah, I was a four. Out of pity.” Jenna said as she takes another sip from her water bottle. “I don’t know, maybe I’m over thinking a bit.”
“About what?” Duncan asks.
“About being here at Greendale, it’s a nice place and all but I feel kind of left out.” Jenna said.
“From what, to be exact?” Duncan asks.
“From you guys. Every time my uncle goes off to do something I always get left behind. It’s like I don’t exist unless I do something to get him piss off.” Jenna said.
“Oh don’t think of it like that. I mean he doesn’t notice you only when you upset him, he did sent that guy away.” Duncan said.
“Wait, What!” Jenna said a bit angry at this.
“Oh boy. Wondering how Jeff’s doing.” Duncan said.

Jeff and Annie are doing a sidebar about the recent events that has happen with the D&D game with Hickey’s son.
“Well do it.” Annie whispers to him.
“Okay.” He whispers.
They end their conversation as Jeff turns to face Hickey.

After Jenna’s very explosive response to Jeff’s date blocking, Duncan turn his attention to the game. Jenna paces around the living room about until she has cooled off. She sits back down on the couch next to Duncan.
“I’m going to be honest and I want that patient-doctor confidential you therapist do. Is that okay?” Jenna asks.
“Sure.” Duncan said still focus on the game.
“First off, I’m lonely.” She said. Duncan starts to take notice of Jenna.
“Stop. Not that kind of lonely.” She quickly remarks. “I mean I’m lonely cause I don’t think Jeff is the family figure I need right now. I don’t fit here.” She said.
“Well that’s not fair. That’s really not fair. Do you think Jeff would put this much effort in taking care of you if he doesn’t cares? No. For once in his life, he is learning to be a parent and for some people it’s one of the hardest things to do. Give him the chance, Jenna. I mean what’s the worst that can happen?” Duncan said.

At Abed and Annie’s apartment, the moments of the conflict with the two groups is about to start.
“I hug my father!” Dean Craig Pelton said arms out.
“You’re impaled” Abed tells Dean Craig Pelton.
The sound of pain that Craig makes as he takes a step toward Jeff fills the room with gasps.

“and that’s how I feel about my parent’s death.” Jenna said as Duncan takes notes of this.
“Well we’ve done some amazing process so far. I’m going to head out and get some frozen yogurt. You want some?” Duncan asks.
“I’m good.” Jenna said. As Duncan starts to leave, Jenna calls out to him. “Hey Duncan, Thanks.”
Duncan gives her a “you got it” gesture to Jenna as he leaves. Jenna looks at the table with the food and drinks and takes the glass with the scotch in it. She takes a drink from it before she starts to spit it back out.
“Okay, going to need work on that.” Jenna said.
