Geothermal Escapism marked Donald Glover's final episode on Community, and what an episode it was. It's a familiar concept, but one that Community still does so well: the school is completely caught up in a silly game, hilarity ensues. The result is the best episode since the end of season 3. Dan Harmon's return was supposed to bring the show back to its former glory, but I don't think that was truly accomplished until this episode.
From start to finish, this episode is classic Community. From the way in which it absolutely embraced its absurdity to Troy's farewell to the study group, everything was right with this episode. Abed deals with Troy leaving in typical fashion, but what does that mean for the future? Time will tell. A pleasant surprise was Levar Burton's cameo at the end. Burton's last appearance on the show made for one of Troy's most memorable scenes. What I would have given though for one last "Troy and Abed In the Morning" segment though.
