    POOR JIM

    The World Worst Secret Keeper GOES TO Michael bad Scott ^o^
    8Edvis-1997

    Like we can't hide that we all knew that this is going to happen so I'm not even surprised. Whole episode was a little bit predictable, except couple scenes which were funny.

    Not a favourite.

    I'm not a huge fan of this episode. I see how it is a nice addition to the episode 'Booze Cruise', but it just seems unnecessary. It does build on Michael and Jim's characters, and it does add to the Jim and Pam love story, but it's just really forgettable.

    • Trivia
      During the talking head scene where Michael is explaining why he spent so much on magic items, you can see the fake thumb on his hand. It seems he was going to use the prop but it got cut from the final edit.
