The Office: Season 8, Episode 16 “After Hours” (B+)
Having a bunch of the crew in Tallahassee is turning out to be productive on almost all fronts. My least favorite plotline, and the only one that I don’t particularly like at the moment, involves Nellie and the attempted seduction of her by both Todd and Dwight. It’s over-the-top and a bit creepy, not to mention entirely unbelievable. Jim’s squirming a lot in Florida after realizing that Stanley is trying to have too much fun, and his antics in the hotel room were quite entertaining, sliding off the bed and then even enlisting Dwight to come swat bed buds away to scare Cathy away. I hope nothing more happens with that since Jim could get in a whole lot of trouble. Ryan’s fun with Erin seems to have been short-lived since he couldn’t bear the thought of having to wait six months to sleep with her. Back at home, the absence of the Tallahassee team was a good excuse to keep the group together after hours, working to ensure that all of their accounts are up to date. The opening sequence with Angela, Pam, and Oscar all complaining about each other was amusing, but there was no beating the arrival of Val’s boyfriend, who promptly accused Darryl of sleeping with her. Kelly taking an interest in the drama and forcing Darryl to read the texts was hilarious, and I’m glad that Darryl didn’t give up easy and left Val with exactly five dots to mull over as he exited the conference room.
