The Office "Junior Salesman" and "Vandalism"


This week was a double feature so let’s start off with what was on first.

"Junior Salesman"


First it starts off with Pam apologizing to Brian (the mic guy) about him getting in trouble for shutting down the camera last week when Pam was crying after her and Jim’s fight. I’m getting a not so great feeling about their relationship. 

Now that Jim is working in Philly part-time Dwight gets the honor of hiring someone to take his spot the days that he is not in Scranton. After Jim and Pam’s blowout last week he is trying to make it up to Pam to make sure whoever take his spot isn’t weird and annoying. Jim thinks that Clark is a good choice for this but once Dwight sees this and doesn’t want to hire another “Jim”. So what’s Dwight’s solution… to hire one of his odd friends. He interviews everyone from his babysitter/lover, Mose, Mose’s brother and more. Afterwards Dwight realizes that the only real answer is to hire Clark. Dwight is sad thinking he will be left out again like he was with Jim and Pam but then Pam tells him that together they will haze Clark. She hands him plastic wrap and begins to say, “okay the next time her goes to the bathroom” and Dwight cuts her off and says, Yea, I know what to do”. He then walks up to Clark and wraps his head in it and while Clark can’t breathe Dwight is yelling, “Welcome to the group”. It was a great episode but I’m not loving the new Jim.




"Vandalism"



Pam goes to work on her mural and it has been vandalized by a warehouse worker. Someone drew butts all over it and she is determined to find who did it. She enlists Dwight and Nelly to help. First they try asking the warehouse guys to draw a butt on a piece of paper, then a curvy “W”. Both of which don’t work and no one listens to them. After they tell one of the workers that his mom is dying to get him vulnerable. After pressuring him, he cracks and tells them who it is. It is a guy named Frank who is a big jerk! Pam tries to get Frank to apologize but he doesn’t and instead yells at her. She is tired of being nice to her and Dwight paint all over his truck (yes it is a little intense but is will come off). Frank comes running out yelling and Pam and looking like he is going to hit her when who steps in, NOT Jim because he is in Philly but Brian does punching him and they get into a fight. The episode ends with Brian getting fired and saying goodbye to Pam and telling her is she needs anything he is there for her… Ugh I do not like him or their relationship. It makes me uncomfortable and I hope Pam is smart enough to work on her and her husbands relationship not go for Brian.
This episode also shows Darryl and Jim’s roommate situation and Darryl is a clean freak who labels everything that is his so Jim won’t use it but then Jim is a mess and he uses all of Darryl’s things. They get into a fight but end up working it out. But I do have to admit I do not like how Jim has been acting. It is almost like he thinks he is better then everyone and has been rude to everyone. I don’t like it and I hope they bring back the old Jim before the season ends!
