David Wallace saw Michael and Holly smooching last week.

Uh-oh. Based on the episode title, the shit's gonna hit the fan.

Don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure out what's up.

Grrrrr ... I'm not a fan of Holly leaving.

Both Creed and Kevin wearing Joker outfits will be great. That'll be a recurring theme at many a costume party this year.

My hometown (Nashua, NH) will be featured in this episode! Woo! Can't wait to see how L.A. will function as New England.

I wouldn't be surprised to see her make an occasional appearance in later episodes, as many recurring but not regular characters have. And I can see the writers possibly doing some interesting things with a broken-hearted Michael if/when Holly is gone.

But I agree that Michael is a better character with Holly around. I'm kind of dreading the show going back to the Michael/Jan relationship, which never worked for me and (with the exception of Season 2) dragged the show down whenever it was the focus of an episode.

Hopefully the writers will notice the fan reaction to Holly, as it seems like it's universally positive.

this episode is gold so far.

I thought Dwight was pulling the Jim thing where he dressed up like him on Andy at first.

I think they're trying to set the table for the exit of Carell from the show as a regular (but still giving him the ability to recur). That's pure speculation on my part, informed by nothing.

I'm sticking with my theory that Holly will show up for the finale preggers.

Didn't he sign on for another three seasons not too long ago?

As annoying and over the top as he can be, without him the show would be nothing.

The recent interviews about Holly have said:

Spoiler:
Amy Ryan wants to get a long-term contract with the show, but wanted an opt-out clause if she got a role in a film that shoots during the season. They're trying to work something out with her, but likely she would only be on like Jan was, for a dozen or so episodes a season.

I loved this episode, Pam as charlie chaplin was awesome, I loved that scene, especially when she said she cant take her hat off because then she looks like Hitler, Awesome stuff. everything in this episode was solid gold. Just sad to see Holly go, I LOVE her character. This season has been fantastic.

Amy Ryan was a great edition to the show. She will be missed.

Dwight's prank was Jim Halpert through and through. It's always great to see Andy lose it.

I didn't care for this episode much. The opening Halloween stuff was good, but the Jim/Pam stuff, the Michael/Holly stuff, and the Dwight/Andy didn't really do anything for me.

I thought it was a pretty good episode. Bummer about Holly, though.

Did anything happen after Dwight bit the beet? My show got cut off as he bit into it...
