Discos and Dragons is the eighteenth and final episode of the Freaks and Geeks TV series. It was written and directed by Paul Feig. The episode first aired on July 8, 2000.
Daniel is sentenced to audio/visual class as punishment for attempting to pull the fire alarm. Lindsay is accepted to a two-week academic summit, but she isn't excited, and she isn't sure about going. Nick has a new girlfriend, and he takes up disco dancing.
By chance, Lindsay and the Freaks find out that Nick has been dating Sara, and she has been teaching him to dance for an upcoming disco competition.

•For his work in this episode, Paul Feig was nominated for a 2001 Emmy for "Best Writing in a Comedy".
