Bravo! What a fantastic episode. I really felt like this could have fit right in with season 2, which for those of you who are not as familiar with the entire series as I am, that is a very good thing. This episode was funny and smart, and had some heart in it too, which I loved. One of the things I love about the show so much is that at the end of the day, these are characters you love to laugh at, but also love.
Very much like The Client in season 2, this was another example of what I like to call Michael knows best. It is very easy to forget why Michael became Regional Manager in the first place. In this episode, Michael felt it best to ignore Meredith's unethical behavior, something Holly was not happy with. Through the course of the episode, we learn that sweeping the issue under the rug was the best choice for the company, and regardless of this reasoning, Michael had made the right call, or "knew best".
Another thing I love to see is Jim pranking on Dwight. Their interactions in this episode were so reminiscent of season 2. This was also the second time we got to see Dwight pee in a empty soda container.
Now, I could be wrong, but I think this episode will spark something we all know to be coming; Holly leaving Dunder Mifflin. I see this as the beginning of many instances where Holly either doesn't agree with something Michael does or feels uncomfortable by it that she will eventually want to leave. Which is really a shame because Holly is so perfect for Michael.
Overall this was a great episode, and the rest of the season will be as good as this one, we are in for a real treat this year.
