I miss Karen.

Yes, Waukesha is a very real place...

I loved this episode, and I have to agree with the poster above who said that this season is much better than last.

I am definitely on team Dwight. Ever since they broke up I've been dying for them to get back together and if Angela really could break Andy's spirit, we know she cannot break Dwights.

Who would have thought Andy and Oscar would be a funny combination? I loved them together.

And of course what makes The Office great is that real emotion they can make you feel even after all the off the wall behavior. Like Michael's phone call and PAM standing there just when you thought she was gone for another six weeks. Priceless.

The push-ups...kinda sexy, but it was definitely the crawling back and begging for another chance from an ex that is irresistable! I laughed so hard when Darryl strutted to his truck. If it was me though, Ryan doesn't hold a candle to Darryl.

I think Michael's speech after telling off Wallace at the end hints at where his character could go. He said "it's great having a boss you can tell off without getting fired." I could seem them going down that round at season's end. The British version did it.

Makes me wonder what Michael would do for the next 2 seasons since Carrell is signed on.

Given that Ryan showed disappointment both immediately after Darryl's text and during the interview in the last segment, I don't think he really wanted Kelly back. Remember that in his first episode back, he was making a "revenge" list, and I believe Kelly was on it.

My theory is that he was trying to get her to fall in love with him again and then dump her shortly after she had ruined her relationship with Darryl. He probably would have even denied making out with her and claimed that it was a deception on Kelly's part. But Darryl's compliance ruined the whole Machiavellian plot.

I must disagree with what you say others have been saying about this year and say that I believe this season is a huge step up from last years mediocre season.

And I'm Team Andy, in the sense that he needs to dump Angela's cheating ass and get a girl that deserves him! Andy rocks! Plus, it wouldn't kill me if Dwight and Angela were happily together again, talking to one another back to back like no one knows their secret.

I'm going to answer a question that hasn't been addressed yet:

Yes, there was something sexy about Ryan doing push-ups.

When Kevin said "Day 1" to Jim after Pam said she had to stay for another 12 weeks, I turned to my boyfriend and said "But I want Pam to come back now!" And then Jim went outside and she was there. :O

I am on Team Dwight... Angela is not right for Andy. I'd rather Andy be with someone who really wants to be with him. Maybe Kelly after Ryan dumps her again. Hey Andy and Kelly are both crazy and cute and volatile in their own way...

Great episode. Didn't laugh much either, but huge progress made in developing this season.

"Alexmonty," I was thinking the same thing. Why is there no HR rep? I'm pretty sure Toby's coming back (the next episode is called 'Frame Toby,' Paul Lieberstein is still a writer on the show, and I have heard rumors about Toby), but where is he? Plus, isn't he paralyzed (Weight Loss)? I don't know, maybe I'm wrong. But that got me thinking, Ryan replaced Jan, but who replaced Ryan? Why haven't we been introduced to Michael's new boss?

I think Ryan genuinely wanted Kelly back. He's realized that he'll never be some big shot executive who gets to date models right and left. In his eyes he's settling for the girl he can get...Kelly.
The Darryl thing, to me, was just Ryan wanting to boost his ego. He was getting off on taking Kelly away from Darryl. So it was disappointing when Darryl couldn't have cared less.

They delivered my favorite scenes of the episode, hands down.

Oh and i'm on Team Andy. He doesn't deserve to get played by someone like Angela. I have a feeling they're going to drag it out till the end of the season.
