So Pam is ready to date, only she’s just not ready to date Jim. Michael assumed that Jim left Scranton because of him, but Jim explained that he left because Pam shut him down…twice. It’s obvious that Jim is pretty hurt by that and I think Pam is going to have to make the first move, because he has to be a little gun shy at this point.
I was wondering how they’d get Jim involved with his old office, and the paper conference was the perfect opportunity for Michael and Dwight to interact with their old co-worker, to typically uncomfortable results. Michael was insistent about hosting a party in his room, but it never really happened – people kept “filtering in and out.” I was hoping for some more awkward interaction with Jan, but since he’s got a girlfriend, he’s no longer on the prowl.
Pam’s date was a complete bust, which really isn’t a surprise considering Kelly was the one who set her up. At what point does Pam break down and call Jim? It turns out that Toby – the HR guy – has a work crush on Pam, but he wasn’t able to pull the trigger and ask her out. On a side note, it’s always great to see Kelly and Ryan in a non-office setting – he still hasn’t been able to extract himself from that relationship, and I hope he never does. His expressions are just too funny when they’re together.
Dwight and Angela provided a few laughs this week with all of their “monkey” talk and Angela’s visit to Dwight’s hotel room (much to the surprise of Jim who secured a key to Dwight’s room in the hopes of pranking him, but instead caught an eyeful of Angela on the bed). Viewers who stuck around for the tag caught a treat when Dwight and Michael turned on the black light in the hotel room. There was fluid everywhere. Dwight said, “That’s semen, blood or urine.”
Michael replied, “God, I hope it’s urine.”
