Community will be saying goodbye to Donald Glover on the next episode of season 5, which is sure to be an emotional one.

Season 5, episode 5 will be the last episode for Glover as a series regular. Glover, who plays Troy Barnes, is leaving the show to pursue other career opportunities. Community will be giving Glover and Troy a proper sendoff Thursday night in an episode titled Geothermal Escapism.

NBC has published a press release for the episode, revealing its basic plot. In the episode, Troy prepares to leave Greendale, prompting best friend Abed (Danny Pudi) to organize an elaborate going away party. The party starts with a fun activity but ultimately turns into a heated competition that is "destined to make history at Greendale."

Community has specialized in action-packed episodes, such as Modern Warfare and A Fistful of Paintballs, so the coming episode will likely try to recapture the spirit of those classic episodes.

In other Community news, NBC is reportedly considering giving the show a sixth season to air in their 2014-2015 TV schedule. NBC entertainment president Bob Greenblatt spoke with reporters at the Television Critics Association press tour over the weekend, revealing that Community has a "strong possibility" of returning for another season.

This would put the sitcom one step closer to achieving their goal of six seasons and a movie, a popular phrase with fans of the show.

Community season 5 airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. on NBC.
