Episode 1.24 "English as a Second Language"
The study group's preparation for their finals is made even more stressful when Señor Chang gets replaced by a tougher Spanish teacher. Meanwhile, Troy discovers that he has a hidden talent for plumbing.
Annie's ensembles in this ep -- yay or nay? Who does she resemble more -- a travel agent or a professor? How awesome was it when Jeff walked out of an exam (yeah, the whole class did, but he initiated it) and kicked open a locked door because he thought Annie was being murdered?
When this episode aired, I was really happy with the exchange at the end of the ep between J/A. I had just been turned off by J/B in Modern Warfare, so it was comforting to see that feelings still existed between Jeff and Annie. It's especially poignant how they usually make each other grow in contrast to J/B, who sometimes do, but often don't. Also, I've seen Annie get a lot of hate when she behaves like she did in this ep, but I kind of like her crazy side. If I'm not mistaken, only Annie, Jeff, and Pierce have almost been kicked out of the study group, which I strangely enjoy because I find them the most interesting characters (when Pierce isn't written as one dimensional anyway).
Reminder: No bashing of other characters, ships, or fans. Also, gifs, graphics, fic recs, and other fan creations in relation to this episode are ENCOURAGED in the comments!
