    The Story Arcs are Opening

    Engaging more in the Jim-and-Pam arc and starting the Michael-And-Jan storyline. A classic episode with a great main plot and b-plot.

    Very decent episode, I liked it a lot but I want a little bit more dar humour because I'm feeling it's getting softer and softer, still enjoyable so can't complain a lot.
