I knew something was wrong with Donna, but I wasn’t expecting this.
In the teaser Jim and Pam are clicking their pens in morse code. Dwight is onto them. Come on Dwight you’re so fucking paranoid. Turns out he’s right.
Michael can barely finish an entire sentence when gushing about his new girlfriend. He’s not used to his relationships going this well. He solicits opinions for ideas on what to do for a date on the weekends with Donna. He mentions she insisted on going to the Poconos. Kelly says she must be cheating if she’s insisting on going far away just for Chinese food. Michael hires Dwight as a PI. Weird that he offers $50 to him when he did it gratis for stalking Oscar when he took a day off. Dwight decides the way to go about this is to seduce Kelly, have sex with her and tell Michael “the bad news” right after he plants his seed. Dwight attempts to seduce Donna at the gym, which doesn’t work out. So Kelly isn’t entirely insane, good to know. Dwight had no recourse but to tell Donna, and the gym personnel that were kicking him out, that he was sent by Mike to see if she would cheat. Donna tells him its nonsense and to go to Vero Beach, to see the Dodgers play spring training baseball I guess. When Donna is questioned about an earring, Pam gets suspicious. Pam discovers through Facebook that Donna was kissing another man two weeks ago. She stealthily shows Michael the pictures with Donna in the room. In the parking lot, where so many important conversations have taken place, Michael confronts Donna about it. She reveals that she’s married, and Michael is “the other guy.” “I’m the mistress?” Michael asks. Yes, you are. Her husband must be a horrible human being.
Andy gets a phone call about a Sabre printer engulfing in flames. He asks Gabe about it and says he’ll talk to HR. When he leaves the room Darryl tells Andy Gabe was obviously hiding something. Darryl tells the audience that the only reason why he was a lying liar that lied is because Andy blamed the warehouse for something that was his fault two years ago and he almost got fired for it. He tricks Andy further into thinking he’s going to get fired. Darryl gets Creed to put his finger across his throat in front of Andy. Creed says “Darnell” is a sucker because he would have done it for free. ” “Darnell’s a chump. I’ve done a lot more for a lot less……” Creed is the boneriffic. No homo. Gabe cheerfully tells Andy only 12 of 400,000 printers have caught fire and they were all user errors, and he hands him a reward to the tune of a five dollar gift card at Dunkin Donuts. Promotion! Darryl shakes his head. He’s more of a Tim Horton’s guy. Dwight convinces Andy to try and attempt to videotape a printer fire taking place, not thinking it would ever actually happen. The printer actually DOES in fact do this, causing Darryl to swear off pranking forever and us to not trust this Gabe character.
The tag had Dwight taking over an elliptical class. Is it possible to get kicked out of a gym and lose your expensive gym membership? THAT is something I’d pay Schrute to investigate.
Surprisingly quotable episode. I’d rate this a “not objectionably awful.”
Things to say to get out of paying for Dwight’s gym membership
“It’s in a Life magazine spread!”
“You have a bad imagination! I live in a fantasy world!”
“Who eats 8 protein bars? “”People who don’t trust egg whites.”
“Do you know an exercise that works the whole body and deals with two people? Tractor pulling.”
“It’s never too early for ice cream, but we didnt have any ice cream, so this is mayonnaise and black olives. It’s comfort food!”
“Uck, this is so disgusting!” “Then STOP EATING IT!”
“You work at an adult arcade. You could get any guy you wanted.”
“There it is.” “There what is.” “What?”
“I have tickets for this concert… Spice Girls are opening for Weird Al… front row.”
P.S.
Honestly why isn’t Creed in every episode, getting at least a B story every time? He could turn this show around all by his skeevy self.
How did Pam not notice her status was “married”?
