My personal favorite episode of the series, the ninth episode of season four, has all our favorite and most cringey moments take place in Michael and Jan’s condo.
From Jan’s candle room to the reveal of Michael’s plasma TV, a lot is packed into the one episode.
5. The Invitation
How Jim and Pam are invited to the dinner party shows just what the audience can expect for the reminder of the episode. This is due to Michael creating a fake assignment for the employees of Dunder Mifflin to do, which makes him able to ‘talk corporate out of it’ that much easier. Knowing Jim and Pam are free the rest of the night, the boss of Dunder Mifflin Scranton knows that there is no way they can evade the invite.
4. The Broken Screen Door Story
During the party the guests notice that a tarp is covering the screen door in the dining area. After Michael quickly answers their questioning with a cover up, saying ‘it’s just construction,’ Jan reveals that Michael ran through it. Why? Because he heard an ice cream truck.
3. Michael’s 'Bed'
While on the condo tour, it is revealed that Jan gets the bed, while Michael sleeps on a small bench at the end of it. Jim and Pam are surprised that Michael can sleep in such a small space. He then proves that it works by curling up on it, showing how he is literally the size of it. As someone who like Jan spreads out when they sleep, it seems like a complete nightmare situation.
2. Hunter’s CD
Jan’s old assistant Hunter, who many characters joke had a relationship with Jan, released a CD called ‘The Hunted.’ In one of the most cringey moments of the episode, Jan starts to dance to his provocative song, much to everyone’s horror.
1. The Fight
To say that Jan and Michael’s relationship was an unhealthy one is putting it mildly. That’s what makes their fight at the end of the episode so memorable, because finally it seems Michael can break free. Or maybe it’s just the Dundee smashing Michael’s plasma TV. Who’s to say?
