Have you ever wondered what your favorite study group characters would be like digitized in a video game? The first episode in tonight's Community trio answered exactly that question!

In "Digital Estate Planning," Pierce was sent to Hawthorne's headquarters presumably to collect his inheritance, but it turns out it wasn't as easy as he thought.

Pierce's father's longtime assistant Gilbert, played by Once Upon A Time and Breaking Bad's Giancarlo Esposito, had a surprise in store. Thirty years prior, when Pierce begged his father to get into the video gaming business, only to be passed over for moist towelettes, Mr. Hawthorne decided to develop his own video interactive video game that Pierce would one day participate in.

The only hitch here is that Gilbert was playing Pierce for the inheritance. Not only did Gilbert feel that he deserved the inheritance for working for Pierce's father all of these years - after all the man did once sit on Gilbert's lap at church just to get a better seat - but Gilbert had a secret of his own.

Pierce's openly racist father had an affair with Pierce's hot African American nanny's sister and that woman gave birth to Gilbert! Lo and behold, Pierce has a half brother! This episode really pushed the envelope as far as offensive jokes and comments, but it was done in an almost ironic way because the crux of Pierce's character is that he's completely oblivious and often makes prejudicial comments. In fact, the only person more offensive than Pierce was really Pierce's father.

We all know that Dan Harmon likes to do fun gimmicky episodes, for instance "Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas." I liked seeing the video game versions of the study group. I also enjoyed seeing how they each reacted to the video game world.

Of course, Abed thrived and fell in love with a woman who had an extensive knowledge in programming. Pierce could barely figure out how to walk. Annie was trying to be nice but threw down when she had to. When she and Shirley accidentally killed the people in the weapons shop, I have to admit I was laughing. Jeff was trying to take control and strategize, but per usual he was making a mess of things.

The ending was sweet as the study group realized that winning wasn't everything. The only thing I really missed from this episode was Dean Pelton. I really miss my Dean! Will he pop up in parts 2 and 3 of the Community trio tonight?* Tune in to find out and don't forget to check our Community quotes from this episode!
