The Office – The Seminar
In this week’s episode of the Office, Andy decides to hold a small business seminar at Dundler Mifflin to try and make some extra cash. The seminar is supposed to feature presentations by Jim, Dwight, Stanley, and Phyllis. Jim ends up skipping the seminar after seeing an old classmate whose intelligence he insulted in grade school. The other three speakers back out once they catch a glimpse of the seminar’s attendees. They characterize them as a bunch of losers with no money to buy any paper products.
Andy is then forced to turn to the back up team of Ryan, Creed, and Kevin. Kelly substitutes for Ryan who is unable to deal with the stress of speaking before a group of people. She proceeds to call her old business professor, whom she may have dated, to teach the class business strategies via her Blackberry. Creed comes in and starts rambling about ways that people can get wealthy. He has the crowd’s attention until he loses them with his plan to make money by catching the Loch Ness Monster.
The most hilarious part of the entire show is when Kevin is called on to present. Kevin proceeds to blast loud music and circle the conference room like an athlete making a victory lap around a stadium. He is still noticeably shaken up from running around the room and proceeds to give one of the worst speeches in the history of motivational speaking. Kevin winces, wheezes, hyperventilates and lays down on the floor while trying to utter just two words. Kevin proceeds to throw up in a trash can in front of the entire audience and then runs outside of the door.
Andy manages to recover at the end of the seminar and is able to sell a few small business packages, thanks to some help from Michael. Michael and Holly have been sitting in on the seminar with both of them pretending to be a Greek couple from out of town. Jim does eventually run into his old childhood buddy who taunts him for winding up selling paper for a living.
This episode of the Office is must see television and is sure to be a fan favorite for years to come.

The Office – Michael and Holly together at last?
This episode of The Office was definitely must see TV. Fans finally got what they have been waiting for the last two seasons. Michael and Holly finally got together. The episode starts out with Michael and Jim going out together on a sales call. Michael closes the deal and needs to stop at a gas station restroom on the way back. While in the bathroom, Jim gets a call from his mother in law. She accidently locked baby Cece in the car.
This news sends Jim peeling out of the parking lot with Michael still in the bathroom. To make matters worse, Michael’s wallet and cell phone are in the car with Jim. The next 15 minutes are hilarious television as Michael tries to find his way back to the office. It’s like watching a little kid lost in the city. Michael wonders around the city making stops at a hot dog stand and a pet store. He even fills out some bogus forms for a cell phone using a fake pen name.
After checking to make sure that his daughter is okay, Jim calls the office to inform Pam that he left Michael in the city. Dwight, Holly, and Erin all search the city looking for Michael. They don’t have much luck until Holly unknowingly starts to travel the exact same route that Michael took. She even heads to the same Chinese restaurant that Michael skipped out on the check from.
While the trio are hunting for Michael, the gang back at the office are making jokes and engaging in a game of insulting Sabre with pictures and captions. Gabe quickly rushes in to defend the company and breaks up this little game. The Office gang quickly turn their attention to throwing barbs at Gabe and start mocking his behavior with funny quips. Gabe returns back to his office beaten and dejected.
Meanwhile Holly manages to locate Michael on the roof. Holly went up there to see if she could spot Michael in the city. Michael happened to be on the same roof trying to find the office from a tall building. Holly finally realizes that they were meant for each other and the two exchange a passionate kiss. Erin looks on and smiles.
Another fantastic episode of the Office
