This episode was fantastic. The scenes from the deposition really showed everyone’s true colors: Jan doesn’t really seem to care about Michael, the CFO is a good guy who is really, truly sorry that Michael had to go through the whole ordeal, and Michael is loyal to a fault, and doesn’t know how to respond when his loyalties are in conflict with each other.
This has to pretty much be the end of Michael and Jan, right? Michael chose the company over her, and Jan pretty much only cared about winning hr lawsuit, even if it meant revealing Michael’s private diary (which, btw, she must have read if she knew it had stuff that could help her case) without telling him beforehand. That qualifies as what I refer to as “a total dick move.” And when Michael said that the company had shown him loyalty, which was contrary to what Jan wanted him to say, he ceased being useful to Jan. Therefor, I highly doubt that she’ll see any reason to stay with him.
Toby’s story about his parents’ divorce really hit home, since I’m going through a similar thing right now. I kind of wish that Michael would have listened to him and they could have bonded a little. But pushing that tray off the table was about the funniest damned thing I’ve seen all season.
Onto the funny: Kelly’s “smack” (not “trash”) talk was absolutely fantastic, as was her making Pam yield in the bathroom doorway.
I loved Kevin doubting his own abilities when Pam said Jim needed his help.
Toby’s falling lunch was among the funniest things I have ever seen.
The Kelly v. Pam Ping-Pong matchup was awesome. “You want to play on the table upstairs?” “Yes.”
Michael’s diary had me in stitches. When Toby cracked up about Michael calling Ryan “hot,” I pretty much lost it.
Dwight and Mose being huge ping-pong fans seems perfect. I’m sure they play for hours every day at Schrute Farms. And as a ping-pong fiend, I loved seeing a ping-pong-centered subplot.
The intro with the fake messages for Michael was pretty good.
“Hey, hey, you, you, I don’t like your boyfriend
'Cause, 'cause, 'cause, 'cause, 'cause he sucks at ping pong.”
This episode was fantastic.
