The Office – Frame Toby
There’s a table full of brownies and the Dunder Mifflin crew is grabbing them up. Kevin takes two and is scolded my Angela, Michael takes two so he can parcel them up throughout the day, and Kelly takes two, one for her and one for Toby. Michael states that she’d have to send them to Costa Rica for Toby. She replies, “I’m just going to hand it to him right now.” Michael has paid such little attention that he doesn’t even realize Toby is back. He goes to the annex to see if Toby is there or not and when he comes up behind Michael, Michael turns around and screams “NO” in Toby’s face.
In an attempt to show Toby he likes him, Michael puts on an act and goes to Toby’s desk declaring how people missed him, how glad he is that Toby’s back and asking about Costa Rica. After, Michael and Dwight develop a plan to get Toby fired by framing him. They make several attempts including setting him up for sexual harassment and trying to get him to fight Michael.
After all plans fail, Dwight suggests they frame Toby with drugs. Michael goes to the shipping docks to talk to the guys unloading equipment. One of the dock guys puts something in Michael’s pocket and asks for $500. Dwight calls to report Toby and Michael places the drugs in Toby’s desk. Security arrives and Dwight brings them to Toby’s desk. Security inspects the desk and Michael suddenly says they should stop the investigation. The cops find the drugs but discover it’s some basil and salad dressing in a baggy. Toby clearly sees it’s a set up but expresses concern for the cop’s time.
In the break room Pam discovers a nasty microwave and puts up a sign. She walks in on Oscar and Andy expresses its ridiculousness, the note that is. Ryan approaches Pam saying he’s on her side with the whole microwave issue and casually suggests that at some point, someone’s just going to have to get in there and clean it. Pam suggests that that’s why they have a temp. Ryan squirms and runs away.
Jim announces that today is the day that he shows Pam the house he bought without telling her. At the end of the day, Jim brings her to the house. She’s speechless. He’s also converting the garage into an art studio just for Pam. She finally speaks and says, “I love it.” Overjoyed that he bought her a house.
Ryan breaks up with Kelly for the billionth time. He’s going to Thailand. Oh, and he asks that if she has any money she could give him, that would be great.
The Office – The Surplus
Oscar brings Michael the year’s budget and explains what a surplus is. He tells Michael they have an extra $4300 which needs to be spent by the end of the day. Oscar thinks they should buy a new copy machine.
Michael announces the news of the copier and surplus. Pam suggests they get chairs instead. Jim sides with Oscar and says that he and Pam don’t have to agree on everything. The decision is up to Michael who has to think on it.
At Schrute Farms, Dwight shows Angela and Andy around. Andy pays extra for Dwight to slaughter the food the day before the wedding and steps in cow poop. They argue over the butter sculpture and Andy steps in more poop. Dwight finally shows the couple where the ceremony will be and suggests a trial run. Andy plays Angela’s father walking her down the isle.
Angela plays herself and Dwight plays Andy (so that Andy can see what he’ll look like). Dwight has a German speaking officiant conduct a “fake” ceremony. Dwight says “I do” as practice for Andy and Angela says, “I do” too. And that’s the end of the rehearsal. Before Andy and Angela leave she confesses to Dwight that she made a mistake picking Andy. Then Dwight admits that the German officiant was real and that Andy wasn’t signing a receipt earlier he was signing Dwight and Angela’s marriage certificate as a witness. Angela’s upset and tells Dwight it doesn’t count. At the office she throws herself on Andy mid chew on his tuna sandwich and tells him she needs to take care of a legal issue.
Pam tries to get Jim to reconsider, forcefully, about the chairs. She goes to kiss him and whispers, “You’re on very dangerous ground.” Pam is talking to Michael about the chairs when Oscar interrupts inviting him to lunch and Jim joins in. Pam’s ready to fight dirty. When the boys return she’s done her hair, put on extra makeup and follows Michael into his office showering him with complements and laughing at his jokes. Later Pam makes some copies and the machine of course fails, in front of Jim and the whole office.
To help make a decision, Michael calls David who suggests Michael return the surplus and take the bonus. Michael didn’t know about the bonus and is ok with disappointing everyone. So he announces that they don’t need a copier or chairs. Oscar calls out Michael about knowing about the bonus. Michael tells the staff that they need to make a decision or he’s taking the bonus. A few minutes later while on a coffee break, Oscar bursts in announcing to Michael they’ve picked the chairs as he’d rather have those than nothing.
Next Jim comes up to Pam timidly and asks her to make 3 copies of each document he has. She just stares at him in surprise. He turns around and says he’s kidding, leans in for a kiss and whispers, “I need 4 copies of each.”
