Summary: The study group decided to not let an obnoxious student from their Spanish class into their study group (guest star Jack Black). Jeff is appointed as the new editor of the school newspaper, while Annie is working on a case that could prove the Dean as racist.
Plot
Buddy's daydream
The study group reunites after winter break and fills each other in on what they did on vacation. Jeff then shows up with a new attitude determined to be more positive then he was before. Abed compares his new outlook to the character Hawkeye from M*A*S*H. A student then tells him that he hopes he doesn't change too much. Jeff is about to respond to him before he and the group realize that a stranger has joined them at the study table. He introduces himself as Buddy from their Spanish class but Abed is the only one who recognizes him. Even though they don't know him Buddy tells him how he's familiar with all of them having seen them all grow closer last semester. He asks that they consider letting him into their group.
The new editor-in- chief hands out assignments
Dean Pelton convinces Jeff to edit the newly resurrected Greendale Gazette Journal Mirror, Greendale's student newspaper, with the promise of a cushy office and a free English credit.

Annie soon finds out that Dean Pelton texted only the black students about a time change for a concert on campus. He did so, assuming they would be able to spread the word to everyone, in order to avoid additional cell phone charges. Jeff agrees to help when the Dean begs him to kill the story but Annie doesn't respond to Jeff's relaxed approach.
Buddy persists in his desire to join the group but Jeff resists pressure from the other members to deal with the situation. Soon Buddy's constant interruptions of study time prove more than even the new laid-back Jeff can handle and the group meets to discuss membership policy. Surprisingly, a majority of the group seem inclined to let Buddy in until Jeff pretends to read a newspaper story about a student who murdered his classmates. However, nobody informs Buddy of their decision and he shows up at the next meeting and doesn't take news of the group's decision well, refusing to leave.
