THE OFFICE: "Frame Toby"

This week on The Office... Michael realizes that Toby has returned to work at the office after his trip to Costa Rica... and he's been there for a full week. Michael enlists the help of Dwight in order to frame Toby and get him fired and removed permanently from the office. They decide to hide drugs (actually salad that Michael buys from the mail delivery guys from the Valentine's Day episode from season 2) in Toby's desk and call the cops with a "hot tip". The police come, find the salad and Toby stays in the office, much to Michael's frustration. Ryan decides to break it off with Kelly because he's going on a trip with some friends from high school. He requests to have sex with her one more time before he goes... and any cash she might have. OK now- Ryan was always a cocky young thing... but going to New York, making it big, developing a drug problem and going to prison really made him into the biggest asshole ever. I hate him! I hate him, I hate him, I hate him! And yes, he's still so good-looking... I miss the beard though. In PB&J World, Jim purchased his parents' house from them for Pam. The house is a fixer-upper, certainly, what with its creepy clown art that doesn't want to come down and the 1970s shag carpeting. However, he turned the garage into an art studio, just for his honey. At first, Pam looks a bit uncertain as he takes her through their new home. But then she breaks into a smile and expresses her love for the house. Awwwwwww!!

THE OFFICE: "Business Trip"

This week on The Office... While Michael, Oscar and Andy take a business trip to Winnipeg ("the Scranton of Canada", as one of the writers so fondly pointed out), Ryan and Kelly rekindle their relationship. This involved Ryan doing some push-ups on the floor by Kelly's desk and Kelly attacking Ryan with her mouth. Sir Andy Bernard was outstanding this week. My GOD. He gets drunk with Oscar in the hotel bar and ends up calling Angela (who is gettin' busy back in Scranton with a certain beet farmer- ohhhh yeeeeeah!) and demanding to know why she won't sleep with him before the wedding night. ANGELA: "We'll discuss this later." ANDY: "Naked." ANGELA: "What?!" ANDY: "We'll discuss it later naked... I wanna see you naked!" Oh, Andy. You used to be a pain in the ass. Now, you are amazing and I commend thee. Michael had a night of passion(??) with the hotel consierege and then called his boss David Wallace and showed him how upset he was over having the woman of his dreams sent away. It was so heartbreaking. Yes, Michael can be a fool... almost 100% of the time... but you learn to love the moron. So, it's tough. It would appear that Pam is back in Scranton after failing one of her courses at art school in NYC. She and Jim ended the episode with an adorable kiss... only to be interrupted by Dwight. Very nice. Well, I guess Jenna Fischer isn't leaving to do movies, thank lord in himmel. Well, at least for the time being, anyway...

THE OFFICE: "Customer Survey"

In this week's episode of The Office, Jim and Pam have found a new way to communicate while she's at school in NYC and he's stuck in Scranton. (Yes, that's right kids. While Jenn is busy watching The Hills and recapping that, I'm watching The Office. Hells yeah.) Anyway. They're now in constant communication via the world's smallest Bluetooth set. Meanwhile, Andy is trying to organize his wedding to Angela and, per usual, she's disinterested. Andy finally finds a location to have the wedding- a location that includes all of Angela's requirements. And it happens to be on a certain beet farm, owned by one Dwight K. Schrute. I suspect a bit more hanky-panky will be going on, now that Angela and Dwight have taken over the wedding plans. Hurrah! I still feel kinda bad for Andy... but he's an idiot, so it's OK. After some confusion with the annual customer reports, it's discovered that Kelly altered some customer comments to make Dwight and Jim look bad, affecting their year-end bonuses. Turns out neither of them attended her America's Got Talent finale party, she was upset and, per usual, totally overreacted.
Near the end of the episode, Pam's friend from art school (who totally has the hots for her) recommends that she not go back to Scranton once school is over because NYC has so much to offer for an artist. Sadly, Pam looks like she is actually considering staying in the city. She cannot, cannot, cannot stay in NYC. She's a major part of the Jim/Pam dynamic that is The Office. I hope it's just a plot turn in the show and not some terrible move on Jenna Fischer's part to work up to leaving the show to do movies. I mean, she's done a couple but she is so not ready or known enough just yet. Steve Carell is staying on the show for God sake and he's doing, like, a lot of movies now. Does the guy even sleep, I wonder?
