I'll admit, it took a little bit of the fun out of the two-part season finale to learn that it was a producer-mandated rehash of last season's most popular episode, and that it would be split into two parts and run in separate weeks, but after the first installment, I am back on board with "The Paintball Episode Part II: A Fistful of Paintballs." Not only did it up the ante from the last game, it seamlessly interwove the group's fractious family dynamic, bringing the season-long dickitude of Pierce Hawthorne to a splattery head. ...That came out sounding dirtier than I intended.

Last week, we found out that the $100,000 prize offered by the ice cream company was never meant to be awarded, with ringer Josh Holloway sent in to take the whole shebang before he was eliminated by a heart-attack-faking Pierce. That's when the company unloaded a truck full of white-clad paintball pros, led by the squeaky-voiced ice-cream-cone mascot herself, to wipe out the competition. To quote Abed quoting any number of action films, "Shit just got real." And tonight's Part 2, "For a Few Paintballs or More," promises to be a paint- and emotions-filled finale worthy of the Sergio Leone reference. (Although the first episode felt more like a Joe Carnahan film than anything.)

Community airs tonight at 8/7C on NBC, opposite new episodes of Wipeout, Big Bang Theory, Vampire Diaries and Randy Jackson Presents: America's Best Dance Crew. Dilemma, dawg!
