Not a bad cold open this time. Dwight drinking the protein powder straight was amazing, and I loved the thigh curl contest. The card — “Sleep Over Party, We Gossiped all Night” — was cute, but Gabe’s “Flex them all night at the discotheque” line took the cake!
Just when I decided that nothing could save the episode, along came a surprise David Wallace (Andy Buckley) appearance. It’s completely unfathomable why he would have been at that fundraiser, but it was great to see him. Come back soon!
There was a lot that was frightening about the group discussion on impotence. The best parts? Gabe saying Erin doesn’t like sex because it’s like “Getting tackled by a skeleton,” and Creed’s “Haven’t heard any complaints, wouldn’t care if I did.” Good for you, Creed!
Dwight commandeering Darryl’s office and literally getting removed by his hair was great, but even better was Dwight finding Creed seated at his desk. Who knew Creed was litigious?
I’m actually in support of Erin staying in Florida, but I knew I wouldn’t hear the end of it if I failed to mention Andy’s gesture at the end of the episode. Will it be too little too late, or are we about to have another office romance on our hands?
Dwight had a great line about English people’s main use being to judge American talent, and how they’re mean but incisive. I’ve got Simon Cowell and Piers Morgan on my list. Who am I missing?
“The menstrual cycle determines every choice a woman makes. You see, during ovulation, a woman’s only goal is to get pregnant. And during menses, she is sad that she has failed. And how does the woman console herself? Shopping. Shopping.” – Dwight, on the cyclical nature of retail
