Jeff, Shirley and Professor Hickey discover a concealed collection of textbooks hidden away in the school basement. Meanwhile, Abed and Annie compete in a video‑game challenge, and the winner will gain the privilege of choosing their new flat‑mate for the upcoming semester.

The episode belongs to the programme and is presented as a single instalment within the series. It is classified as an episode rather than a full‑length film or special, and it follows the usual format of the show’s self‑contained stories. In this instalment Jeff, Shirley and Professor Hickey stumble across a concealed cache of textbooks. The three characters uncover the hidden pile while exploring an overlooked part of the school, and the discovery hints at a resource they hadn’t expected to find. Meanwhile, a separate subplot sees Abed and Annie square off in a video‑game challenge. The two friends compete to determine who will earn the right to pick their new flat‑mate, turning a casual gaming session into a decisive contest. Both storylines run side by side, giving the episode a dual focus that keeps the narrative lively. The hidden textbooks and the gaming showdown each provide a distinct hook, driving the characters’ actions and setting up the episode’s concluding moments.
