I think my prediction that Pam and Roy will get back together before Karen and Jim break up is in serious jeopardy. This week, Jim tries to avoid Pam, but when no one will join him in playing a prank on Andy (“Ask me again ten years ago.”), he turns to his old friend for help. Karen sees that there is still something there, and I wouldn’t be surprised if she leaves Jim (and Scranton) soon. Throw in the fact that we haven’t seen much of Roy in the past few weeks and it’s looking more and more that Pam and Jim will both be unattached at the same time. But will they get together? Usually, when a show’s “will they?/won’t they?” couple finally unite, it means that the show has jumped the shark. But “The Office” isn’t all about Pam and Jim, so it still has a fighting chance.
Andy is growing ever more annoying, and has truly become Michael’s Michael. I think his antics are still pretty funny, but it’s clear that he’s getting on everyone’s nerves. So who will last longer – Karen or Andy?
Dwight’s stint at Staples was pretty funny, but the clips of his interviews were better. One of the lines – “I am ready to face any challenges that are foolish enough to get in my way” – was priceless.
Oscar’s return wasn’t too dramatic, save for Angela’s tearful apology when she begged him to be on the party planning committee. Kevin asked, “Can I join too?” Angela responded, “Never.”
