The Office "Customer Loyalty"

   
     I love that they are bringing back some of Jim's pranks on Dwight this season. Those have always been my favorite. The episode started off with Dwight finding a letter from Rober Dunder that led him on a quest for the holy grail that Jim had planted years back. He didn't find the chalice, unfortunately it had already been discovered by one of the warehouse workers. 
      Dwight is upset when he finds out that Daryl plans to move to Athlead with Jim permanently. He calls Jim  to ask him when it will stop. Jim tell him to take his worst fear and multiply it by infinity and that he won't stop until he has poached everyone, even Dwight. To which Dwight replies "No, I'll be damned if I'm gonna let us lose me." And so Dwight calls everyone together to discuss "customer loyalty", and no Keven that's not when you get a free sandwich after you have already eaten 10 sandwiches. 
      Dwight kidnaps Daryl and tries to show him that he can have fun in the paper business. He takes him to a drive thru window and throws a milkshake at the worker through the window yelling "fire in the hole!" Daryl makes him go in and clean it, and Dwight gets a taste of his own medicine, seems like Dwight wasn't the only one who saw that YouTube video. Loved it!
     Nelly becomes concerned that she is to blame for Erin and Pete's flirtatious relationship as she has put them to work together on Dunder Mifflin's social media. She brings it up in the meeting and successfully breaks them apart, but then Toby points out that Andy hasn't really been there for her after abandoning her on his boat trip and Nelly reassembles Pete and Erin's social media team. At first I hated this whole Erin and Pete thing but I think Toby is right Andy has been a terrible boyfriend. BTW when is Any coming back? He replaces Michael and then just takes off? why can't the Scranton branch keep a manager?
      Also can we talk about Toby and Nelly? So weird, but I kind of like it. They somehow make sense in my mind. I hope she will come around to it. 
      Jim and Pam, this episode was heartbreaking. Their fight was one that probably any real life couple could have, but we aren't used to seeing it and so it's quite concerning. This kind of heavy plot line isn't one we usually see so it makes me wonder if this is something we should really be worried about. Jim and Pam have to survive this! Next week is an hour long, so there could be big things to come!
      One last thing, this was the first episode that we saw the documentary crew. I am not sure that I want the mystery of the documentary to be solved, I was fine not knowing. I just hope that it's done well and it's not another Gossip Girl thing. Let's be honest I would have been fine not knowing Dan was Gossip Girl. I did like when Michael left and he took of his mic, but I'm not thrilled about seeing much more of the crew and behind the scenes stuff. We'll see, there aren't too many episodes left. All I ask is that Jim and Pam have a happy ending.
