This was a weird episode and if they did swap it out I am glad for it in terms of ratings.
Weirdness aside, I really liked this episode for what it's given Troy and Abed in their relationship. Knowing that they aren't real people it's a bummer to not have them be happy Troy-And-Abed, but in their reality it really works, particularly as Troy matures and sees more of the down sides to being Abed's BFF - if this season were allowed to have gone without a break it would have had more of an impact after the Abed-as-Batman debacle. The use of Evil Abed is interesting, but I sort of wonder if he had always existed in some form given that it's rare to see Abed reflecting alone and this was after his BFF basically laid the smackdown on his whimsy.
The rest of the episode was amusing, but can see where it could be funnier. I think I enjoy Joel Mchale/Jeff clothed and scruffy over strippery and clean-shaven. But it made for a good Jeff/Britta friendship moment and really makes me hope that Jeff finds a better shrink, or at least better anti-anxiety meds.
