Anytime “The Office” adds alcohol to the situation, there are always some fireworks. Roy…um…overreacted to the news that Pam and Jim kissed while she was still engaged, but the best part was how Roy’s brother, without even knowing what’s going on between Roy and Pam, picks up a stool and tosses it over the bar because he was pissed off about taking “a bath on some jet skis.” That is just so hilariously messed up.
One thing’s for sure – Roy has it out for Jim.
Meanwhile, things seem to be going pretty well between Jim and Karen. For a second there, it seemed like she might be the company tramp, but it turned out she was just screwing with him, which just makes her all the more attractive. The writers have done a nice job of making Karen a lot like Pam, only a little bit hotter.
I’ll admit, I was wrong with my prediction that Karen and Jim would split once Roy and Pam were back together. It seems like that relationship is done for good. So does the “new Pam” tell Jim how she really feels? It seems like we’re headed in that direction, and considering we’re already 18 episodes into the season, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if that’s the season 3 cliffhanger.
Jan’s rant outside the cocktail party was pretty funny: “What’s the downside? I date Michael Scott publicly and collapse into myself like a dying star. Why is this so hard? That’s what she said. Oh my God, what am I saying?”
Jan is pretty messed up. I just don’t see things working out the way Michael hopes they will, with “the picket fence, ketchup fights, tickling and giggling.” Ketchup fights?
Dwight didn’t have many good lines tonight, but I did like his first comment when he was in the kid’s rocking chair: “Good, you’re up.”
