Tensions run high at Dunder Mifflin when Michael, depressed after being left by Carol, decides to drown his sorrows by arranging an extravagant outing with Andy. Meanwhile, in the conference room, an internal feud arises between Angela and a rebellious faction led by Karen and Pam, who decide to organize an alternative Christmas party. The divisions turn the office into a Christmas battleground of decorations, karaoke and the spirit of revenge.
With two Christmas parties underway, office employees are forced to choose sides. Michael returns from his "night at Benihana" with two waitresses, hoping to recapture Christmas joy and forget about Carol. While chaos reigns supreme among awkward karaoke, unlikely gifts and jealousies, an unlikely truce begins to take shape, giving everyone a slightly less disastrous Christmas...but still very "Office".
With his impending promotion to an executive position in New York, Michael already feels like a winner and begins to prepare himself... firing Pam as his assistant and appointing Dwight in his place. Jim and Karen, meanwhile, also prepare for the interview, leaving Scranton and... leaving something unfinished. Pam tries to move on, but an old emotion resurfaces, amidst heartfelt speeches and loaded silences.
While Michael, Jim and Karen face interviews for the position in New York, in the office Dwight takes his new role as boss seriously, with questionable rules and a whole new set of management. Pam, now more confident, looks at events with a new maturity. But it is during the interview that Jim realizes what really matters to him... and makes a decision that will change everything. A moving, sweet and memorable season finale.
After accidentally hitting Meredith with his car, Michael deals with guilt... in his own way. When he discovers that Meredith has contracted rabies (and that the illness is not his fault), he decides it is a sign of a curse on the office. Meanwhile, suspicions of an affair between Jim and Pam creep in, while Angela worries about the health of her beloved cat Sprinkles.
Michael organizes "Michael Scott's Dunder Mifflin Scranton Meredith Palmer Memorial Celebrity Rabies Awareness Pro-Am Fun Run Race for the Cure" to raise funds and drive away bad luck. The race, amid heatstroke, denied hydration and a guilty Dwight, is an announced disaster. But amid ridiculous efforts and heartfelt moments, some humanity emerges as well... and a new official couple.
Ryan returns to the Scranton office as an executive, presenting his plan to digitize Dunder Mifflin. Michael is threatened by the idea of losing human contact with clients, while Dwight clumsily tries to win Angela back. Pam and Jim come out of the closet, finally letting everyone know about their relationship.
In an effort to prove the superiority of the "old style," Michael launches a personal campaign against technology... ending up with his car in a lake because of GPS. Ryan tries to take the company into the future, but runs up against an uncooperative team. Dwight, meanwhile, makes a desperate gesture that further worsens his emotional situation.
Office prepares for official launch of new Dunder Mifflin site. Dwight enters a competition with the site for who can sell the most in one day. Michael, offended at not being invited to the party in New York, decides to organize his own local version. Meanwhile, Angela is still venting about the end of her relationship with Dwight, with Phyllis trying (badly) to console her.
Convinced he is talking to the "head of the party" in New York, Michael is actually duped by a customer service guy. Discovering the deception, he decides to "catch" him with Dwight's help, literally bringing him into the office. Meanwhile, Dwight tries to beat the site in sales and succeeds in the feat, but still remains dissatisfied. The local party ends with cold pizza and tensions half resolved.
Michael is increasingly crushed by the expenses due to his new life with Jan and desperately seeks new ways to earn money, including a secret second job. Jim and Pam decide to spend a weekend at Schrute Farms, discovering how... "peculiar" the farm (and the landlord) is.
When Jan finds out about Michael's second job, things explode. Michael, now exhausted and frustrated, attempts to escape... by train. But Jim manages to catch up with him and convinces him to return. Dwight finally confesses how much he aches for Angela, and the bond between him and Pam is strengthened in a rare moment of shared vulnerability. An episode that alternates between laughter and melancholy, with a surprisingly tender heart.
Toby is preparing to leave the office to move to Costa Rica, and Michael couldn't be happier: he finally gets rid of his number one "enemy." To celebrate the event (or rather, to celebrate the departure), he throws a grand party, complete with fireworks and questionable "surprises." Meanwhile, a new human resources manager makes her entrance: Holly Flax, who impresses Michael from the first moment. Pam, meanwhile, discovers that someone has booked three months of art school for her... and Jim prepares to do something very important.
The party comes to life amid tender, awkward and completely out-of-control moments. Michael, confused by his feelings for Holly, clumsily tries to win her over. Dwight, misunderstandings and psychological tests in hand, tries to sabotage her. Andy spoils Jim's romantic plans by making a surprise proposal to Angela... but her reaction is anything but enthusiastic. The finale leaves everyone breathless with a stolen scene between Angela and an unexpected colleague. An episode full of twists and turns, goodbyes ... and new beginnings.
The entire Scranton branch becomes involved in a corporate weight-loss initiative, complete with inter-branch competition. Michael turns the office into a military boot camp, while Dwight adopts extreme methods to help colleagues "slim down." Meanwhile, Jim and Pam must deal with distance after she decides to take an art class in New York. Angela continues her secret affair... but not with her official boyfriend.
As the second month of the competition arrives, the obsession with weight increases. Creed distributes "miracle" berries, Kevin develops dubious strategies, and Dwight... well, he does it himself. Meanwhile, Pam struggles to adjust to the new town, while Jim prepares to surprise her with an unexpected and touching gesture. The episode closes with one of the series' most beautiful proposals, in the midst of rain and traffic, but with a huge heart.
When Dwight stages a fire emergency to test the office's preparedness, panic erupts. Stanley has a heart attack, and Michael realizes that the stress he caused could have real consequences. So he decides to hold stress management sessions... which, of course, makes everything worse. Meanwhile, Pam and Jim discover that Andy's ideas for a romantic video aren't quite right.
Michael tries to lighten the mood by having each colleague tell what he can't stand about the others-a guaranteed disaster. Meanwhile, Dwight must deal with the consequences of his actions, while Andy tries to insert himself into the group with a bizarre film. And as tensions mount, Jim and Pam find comfort in each other, proving once again that they are the most solid couple in corporate chaos.
The big day has arrived-Jim and Pam are getting married in Niagara Falls, and the entire office crew is leaving for the wedding. Michael, Dwight and Andy find themselves sharing a room... with disastrous results. Meanwhile, colleagues receive a clear recommendation: do not talk about Pam's pregnancy in front of relatives, which of course is immediately ignored. Between inconveniences, misplaced invitations and embarrassing situations, the weekend starts off on the wrong foot.
During the ceremony, plans go awry: Andy gets injured, Pam gets stressed, and Jim tries to save the mood. So the two decide to do something very much their own: get married in secret, on a boat in front of the falls. When they return to the official ceremony, now relaxed, they let their colleagues break out in a surprise choreography. A romantic, tender episode full of moments to remember.
Pam goes into labor... but decides to wait as long as possible before going to the hospital, to avoid a longer hospital stay. Jim, increasingly agitated, tries to keep everything under control, while Michael uses the opportunity to turn himself into an "emotional coach." At the office, Dwight and Angela enter into a bizarre pact to have a child together. Contractions grow stronger, and chaos is inevitable.
Finally arriving at the hospital, Jim and Pam face a delivery longer than expected... and full of little hiccups. Michael tries to bring gifts, advice and confusion to the room, while Dwight surveys their home (without permission) to "baby-proof" it. Eventually, baby Cecelia Marie Halpert is born, and the two new parents face their first hours as a family amid laughter, fatigue, and... failed attempts at breastfeeding.
Michael is over the moon when he learns that Holly is temporarily returning to Scranton to cover for Toby. Overcome with a desire to impress her, he cancels the Christmas party Pam organized and plans a new one: a "classy" Christmas, with tuxedos, gourmet hot chocolate, and fine decorations. But Holly's return brings back old feelings... and old jealousies. Meanwhile, Dwight and Jim start a snow fight that soon gets out of hand.
Elegance falls apart when Michael realizes that Holly is still romantically linked to her boyfriend A.J. Jealousy drives him to childish actions, culminating in an emotional confrontation and a devastated snowman. Meanwhile, the rivalry between Dwight and Jim reaches a new level, amid traps in the snow and surprises around every corner. A "classy" Christmas... only on paper.
Michael prepares for his move to Colorado with Holly, but decides not to tell anyone that this will be his last day. Thus begins an emotional tour of silent goodbyes, heartfelt confessions, and symbolic gifts. He tries to leave each colleague with one last special moment as he strives to keep the secret... even as Jim begins to suspect something.
The day of farewell really comes. Michael, finally without armor, shows a tender and vulnerable side, leaving behind notes, souvenir objects, and words never spoken. The highlight is his conversation with Jim, made up of subtext and heart. But perhaps the real goodbye, silent and deep, happens with Pam, at the airport. A touching episode that closes an era with simplicity and affection.
After Michael leaves, an internal committee... led by Jim, Toby and Gabe... is formed to find the new manager. Interviews turn into a carousel of unlikely candidates, from Creed to Darryl to... an increasingly unstable Dwight. Andy tries to stand out as the office moves without real leadership, with unpredictable results.
The interviews continue with a mix of ambition, disasters, and surprising appearances (including a certain Robert California). Angela announces big news on the personal front, while Kelly becomes convinced she is perfect for the role...complete with professional "rebranding." But in the end, the position still remains vacant, leaving everyone with bated breath ahead of the new season.
Pam faces an important job interview in Philadelphia, but the interview takes a bizarre turn when she discovers that her potential boss is... a creepy version of Michael. Dwight finds himself still mired in his triangle with Angela and Esther, while Andy returns to the office after weeks away, finding a less than warm climate. Jim, meanwhile, continues to travel for his new job, and the distance with Pam is being felt.
Pam reflects seriously on her future and what "moving on" really means. Andy tries to get back into the good graces of his colleagues, but his arrogance and childish behaviors only make matters worse. Dwight makes a surprising decision about his relationship, while Erin discovers some uncomfortable truths that will change her romantic path. The paths begin to part, but the emotions are still all there.
Andy makes a drastic decision: he quits his job to pursue his dream of becoming a star. As he bids farewell to Dunder Mifflin in style, Dwight receives the most anticipated news of his career. Jim, in a generous gesture, acts as his wingman at a key moment. Pam continues to question what is best for her family as changes unfold for everyone.
Andy tries his luck in show business... but success is not quite around the corner. Dwight lives his dream as the new manager, and his first decision is textbook: promote Jim to assistant regional manager! But another surprise awaits him, and it involves Angela. The theme of change, between failures and small victories, begins to define the characters' final journey.
As the documentary is about to air, Jim and Dwight are having fun testing the "A.A.R.M." (Assistant to the Assistant to the Regional Manager), with absurd and funny tests. But in reality, Jim is preparing something much more important for Pam. Angela, meanwhile, faces difficult times, but Dwight begins to look at her with different eyes. Everyone begins to reflect on his or her own path.
Jim surprises Pam with one of the most touching declarations of love in the series, using the best moments of the documentary to remind her of what brought them together. Dwight finally takes his own love destiny into his own hands, in a gesture as crazy as it is romantic. The office is in turmoil, the end is near, and the protagonists prepare for the grand finale with hearts full of doubt and hope.
One year after the release of the documentary, Dunder Mifflin employees gather for a special screening and question-and-answer session. Familiar faces return, emotions surface, and everyone reflects on what has changed. Dwight and Angela prepare for their big day, amid surprises and hilarious moments (including a bachelor party...Schrute-style).
Dwight and Angela's wedding is the heart of the episode, with Michael making a surprise appearance at the most perfect time. Jim and Pam make an important choice about their future, showing how much they have grown. The colleagues say goodbye in a mix of nostalgia, gratitude and new hope. The series closes with a simple truth: Every story, even the funniest, can touch the heart.
Michael and Pam visit other branches on a lecture tour to explain Scranton's success. Back at the office, Dwight and Jim are now heads of the party planning committee and struggle with their new duties. Meanwhile, Andy falls for someone he should not and Angela's new cat causes a stir.
This season introduced the main characters, and established the general plot, which revolves around Michael Scott, regional manager of the Scranton branch office, trying to convince the filmmakers of the documentary that he presides over a happy, well-running office. Meanwhile, sales rep Jim Halpert finds methods to undermine his cube-mate, Dwight Schrute; receptionist Pam Beesly tries to deal with Michael's insensitivities and flubs; and temporary employee Ryan Howard is acting mostly as an observer of the insanity around him.
A documentary crew arrives at the offices of Dunder Mifflin to observe the employees and learn about modern management. Manager Michael Scott tries to paint a happy picture, while sales rep Jim fights with his nemesis Dwight and flirts with receptionist Pam.
A consultant arrives to teach the staff about tolerance and diversity but Michael insists on imparting his own knowledge. Meanwhile, Jim struggles to keep hold of a lucrative contract extension.
Michael doesn't want to upset the staff so he gets Dwight to pass on news about the company's reduced health provisions. Fed up with his nosiness, Jim and Pam pretend they are suffering from a variety of conditions including Ebola, Mad Cow Disease, spontaneous dentohydroplosion, hotdog fingers, nano-robot infection...
Michael arranges a morale-boosting birthday party for Meredith and is determined to come up with the funniest message in her card. Dwight wants a pact with Jim to fight the downsizing, and Michael regrets showing off when Oscar asks for sponsorship for a charity walk being undertaken by his nephew, who has cerebral palsy.
The office staff play a basketball game against the warehouse workers in which Jim shows off to impress Pam and upstage her fiancee who is on the opposing team.
A woman who comes to the office to sell purses gets the male members of staff excited. She rejects Dwight's advances, but Michael reckons he's still in with a chance.
Beginning with "The Dundies", the second season further developed into the plot of the fear of company downsizing, along with the introduction of new characters and developing some of the minor ones—especially that of Dwight Schrute. Michael Scott soon starts a relationship with his boss Jan Levenson and, Pam Beesley and Jim Halpert’s relationship become one of the focal points of the season. Their compatibility becomes more obvious as Jim’s feelings for Pam continue to grow, while she struggles with her relationship with the warehouse worker Roy Anderson.
It's time for the "Dundies", Dunder Mifflin's annual awards banquet (held at the neighborhood Chili's), and the staff must endure the excruciating performance of their inept emcee, boss Michael Scott.
Just as corporate tells Toby, one of the workers at the Scranton branch, to give a seminar on sexual harassment issues, Michael receives a visit from his obnoxious sales-rep friend Todd Packer. The two chauvinistic friends try to prove that the office is not in need of harassment counseling, but only wind up making the situation worse, causing yet another zany day at the office.
While Michael and Dwight are out of the office for the day trying to close a deal on a new condo for Michael, Jim and Pam arrange for the staff to participate in an "Office Olympics," where the workers play strange, invented games (among them, Dunderball, Hate Ball...and Pam Pong) that they usually play while the boss is out. At the end of the day, the festivities cheer up everyone - even the oblivious Michael.
The Office is forced into the parking lot for the day when a fire starts in the kitchen. To ease everyone's boredom, Jim suggests a game of "Desert Island" and "Who Would You Do?", where certain staff members reveal a little too much information about themselves. Throughout the day, Michael talks business with Ryan, leaving Dwight feeling left out.
While everyone else in the office enjoys the spooky Halloween festivities and talks about the staff's costumes, Michael ponders who he should fire when the threat of downsizing becomes a reality and his boss orders him to fire one of his staff. Meanwhile, Jim and Pam put Dwight's resume on job-searching websites, which may make Michael's job a little easier, and Pam encourages Jim to set his goals higher by applying for a better job, which makes Jim consider his friendship with Pam.
When Dwight embarrasses Michael by punching him in the stomach at work, Jim organizes a lunchtime rematch at Dwight's Dojo. Meanwhile, Pam becomes annoyed at Jim when he gets too physical with her, Ryan updates the emergency contact information on a secret mission, and Michael tantalizes Ryan when the boss gets a hold of Ryan's cell phone number.
When Michael and Jan try to nail down a potential new client, Christian, by taking him out to Chili's, Michael surprises everyone with what - or who - he does. Meanwhile, back at the office, Jim finds a semi-autobiographical script that Michael has written called Threat Level: Midnight, and he, Pam, Kevin, and the rest of the Dunder-Mifflin workers have a great time acting it out. Later that night, Pam and Jim share their first unofficial date, complete with dinner (a sandwich), candlelight, and Dwight's pathetic fireworks display.
Michael meets with all of his underlings to discuss their performance in the office so far. However, Michael focuses more on getting feedback about his relationship with Jan than whether or not the workers are doing their job. Later, a nervous Michael plans to shuffle through the employee suggestion box to steal exciting ideas for his imminent discussion with Jan about his own performance, but that falls apart when Jan asks to sit in on the discussion. Meanwhile, Jim and Pam try to keep Dwight under the wrong impression that the day is Friday instead of Thursday.
Michael starts monitoring the emails sent out in the Dunder-Mifflin workplace, upsetting the employees. Meanwhile, Pam believes that the relationship between Dwight and Angela is more than just worker to worker, Jim throws an office BBQ at his house in order to show his roommate the kinds of people he deals with everyday, and Michael, after annoying everyone at his improv classes, crashes Jim's party with a terrible karaoke number.
Michael hosts a Christmas party at the office, but somehow manages to decrease the holiday cheer when he changes the arranged secret Santa pairs to a game of "Yankee Swap", where everyone gives their pre-bought presents to a different, random worker. To boost morale, Michael introduces vodka shots while the others compete for an iPod, Jim hopes that his sentimental present, meant for Pam, doesn't end up with Dwight, and Angela becomes enraged about Michael's party changes.
Michael takes the entire Dunder-Mifflin staff on a motivational cruise aboard a party boat on Lake Wallenpaupack, but his planned presentation is bogged down by numerous distractions, including a dance contest, limbo, snorkel shots, and the pushy Captain Jack. Also, Jim and Katy's relationship hits the rocks as Roy and Pam finally set a wedding date, which does more than disappoint Jim, and by the end of the night, Michael's motivational cruise doesn't go completely to waste when he shares a heart-to-heart with one of the workers.
When Michael burns his foot with his George Foreman mini-grill, he requires the entire office staff to work around his new injury. When the workers aren't so keen on obliging, Michael gets angry and calls in a man in a wheelchair to put out the message that disabled people are people too. Meanwhile, Dwight acts stranger than usual, acting really nice and helpful towards Pam. It isn't until the end of the day when everyone realizes that the car accident Dwight was in earlier that day gave him a concussion (but was overshadowed by Michael's dramatization of his own burn), and Jim and Michael immediately take him to the hospital. Needless to say, Michael doesn't appreciate the extra attention that the doctors and nurses pay Dwight.
When Michael slips some sly references about Pam in his conversations with Jim, Jim quickly tries to do damage control to make sure that no one else in the office finds about his crush on Pam, all while slamming himself with regret for ever telling Michael in the first place. Jim goes to drastic measures, even bonding with Michael at a Hooters restaurant for lunch. Nonetheless, Jim's efforts do little to keep Michael from revealing the secret, but Jim smooths the situation over with Pam to make it seem like nothing more than a tiny crush in the past. Meanwhile, Dwight conducts an investigation about Oscar's mysterious absence from work, and what Dwight finds, though it goes way over his head, is surprising.
When someone soils the carpet in Michael's office, Michael sees it as a form of hatred towards him and realizes for the first time that not everyone may like him. Due to the odor of his office, Michael temporarily switches workspaces with Jim, and while there, Michael reminisces of his pre-management days, reliving pranks with Dwight that he and Todd Packer played on the staff. Meanwhile, Jim realizes why Kelly sits alone in the back of the office as he plays messenger for a childish flirtation between Kelly and Ryan, and Pam tries to cope with the day without Jim to make her laugh.
Jan holds a "Women in the Workplace" seminar at Dunder-Mifflin for the paper company's female employees. Michael, feeling more than a bit left out, decides to have his own "seminar" when he takes the male workers down to the warehouse.
The Dunder-Mifflin staffers join in kindergarten-like festivities for Valentine's Day while Michael heads to New York City for a conference with the corporate heads. After showing the documenters a tour of his favorite city, Michael accidentally lets slip to the others at the conference that he and Jan hooked up, and he finds himself in hot water when Jan and the new CFO of Dunder-Mifflin hear the story. Back in Scranton, Pam becomes irked when she discovers that Roy hasn't gotten her anything for Valentine's Day, Dwight struggles to find a gift for Angela, and Kelley talks off Jim's ear about her rather desperate affections for Ryan, who is less than interested.
Dwight must confront his fear of public speaking when he is named Dunder-Mifflin's Salesman of the Year. To prepare for a big convention where he is set to give a speech, Dwight turns to Michael to guide him in his quest to conquer the fear. Meanwhile, Pam gets wrapped up with wedding plans, but Jim has plans of a different sort: an escape route out of Dunder-Mifflin and Scranton, at least for long enough so that he doesn't have to witness Pam's wedding. While all of this is happening, the staffers battle it out over control of the thermostat.
A routine office day is changed when children come to Dunder Mifflin for "Take Your Daughter to Work Day". Michael is surprised when he strikes up a friendship with the five-year old daughter of his sworn enemy, Toby. Pam is desperate to befriend her colleagues' offspring and a misunderstanding puts Ryan under Stanley's thumb.
As Kevin and the rest of the crew worry about Kevin's medical test results to see whether or not he has skin cancer, Michael gets angry because no one seems to have fun at the birthday party he threw for himself. Later, Michael takes everyone out to the skating rink to get their minds off of Kevin's possible complications, and Pam and Jim go to the supermarket to pick up some presents for Kevin.
Dwight plays the role of Volunteer Sheriff after finding half a joint in the Dunder Mifflin parking lot leading to an investigation. Pam gives Jim a play challenge where he must be silent until he gives Pam a can of Coke.
When Michael takes over conflict resolution duties from HR, chaos ensues at Dunder Mifflin.
In the season finale, Dunder-Mifflin holds a Casino Night in the warehouse to benefit charity. While Michael faces the task of juggling two dates, Jim is forced to ponder the reality of transferring to the Stamford branch and what that means for his relationship with Pam.
The season marked the move of main character Jim Halpert from Scranton to Stamford, and also introduced Rashida Jones as Karen Filippelli, and Ed Helms as Andy Bernard—both members of Dunder Mifflin Stamford—as recurring characters. The main plot for the early episodes of the season deals with a recurring problem in seasons one and two—the problem of company downsizing—while in the last half of the season, inter-office relationships also became a major plot point.
When Michael unintentionally outs a gay employee, he stumbles through a sensitivity mine-field. Also, we find out what happened with Jim and Pam.

Michael was educating the entire staff about Diwali, the Hindu holiday that Kelly celebrated. Kelly had invited everybody from work to the celebration. Pam was unsure if she was going to make it, she later confided in Angela that she was saddened because she had nobody to attend the celebration with.
Jan told Michael that the board had voted to close the Scranton branch. There would be a select group of employees that would get a severance package; the others would be going to work at the Stamford branch. She informed Michael that he would be one who would get a severance package.
The Scranton branch was getting ready for their new employees to arrive in from the defunct Stamford branch. Pam was especially excited to be reunited with Jim. While, Michael was most concerned with impressing his new staff.
Angela and Kevin were trying to figure out where extra money in the budget came from. Jan let them know it was money Dunder-Mifflin received for hiring an ex-convict. Michael swore he never hired an ex-convict. Jan informed him that the person must have come from the merger.
Michael was in the holiday spirit and couldn't wait to share in it with his girlfriend, Carol. He had bought two tickets to paradise, hoping to whisk her away on a romantic vacation to Jamaica. Carol came by the office early to have a talk with Michael and it didn't go well.
Karen and Jim had their first big fight in the relationship. Karen had been living in a hotel since taking her job in Scranton. When she decided to live next door to Jim, he took it as the next step to living together and that was too fast. She was not pleased with his response.
Michael decided to send his employees out into the field for sales calls. He paired himself up with Andy. He let the veterans choose who they wanted their partners to be. Phyllis chose Karen, Stanley chose Ryan and that left Jim and Dwight paired together. This wasn't the first time Dwight and Jim had done sales calls together.

Pam later admitted she was very happy she was back together with Roy because it showed maturity. Jim feigns indifference to the reconciliation.
Michael was excited to be attending a party at his CFO's house. He carpooled with Dwight and was also looking forward to meeting Jan at the party. Jan wanted to spend a night alone with Michael, but he thought it was important to come out as a couple to all of their co-workers.
Roy paced in the parking lot outside Dunder-Mifflin and then charged the building looking for Jim. When he spots Jim and rushed him, only to get pepper sprayed in the eyes by Dwight, who managed to spray everybody around him, as well.
Andy was back to work, fresh from anger management training. He insisted on being called Drew, even though Jim continued to call him Andy just to toy with him. Meanwhile, Dwight had decided to shun Andy for the next three years.
Michael was in crisis mode at Dunder-Mifflin when a disgruntled employee at the paper mill put an obscene watermark on one of their most popular orders of paper. Michael called the staff into a meeting and pointed the blame on Creed, who was responsible for quality assurance at the paper mill and blew it off.
Phyllis walked into the office looking pale and shocked. A concerned staff surrounded her for comfort. She told them she had been flashed in the parking lot. Jim alerted the police and they already had three other incidents of flashing in the area. Michael didn't think much of it, because it was Phyllis.
Michael was shocked when he received a call from Corporate wanting him to interview for a position. Michael was happy, but he also had other things on his mind. Beach Day was coming up and he was taking the crew out for some fun in the sun. Not before reminding Toby he couldn't go because somebody had to stay in the office.
After Pam's outburst at Beach Day, she and Jim had a talk and realized how much they both missed their friendship.
