I was kinda hoping Cathy was going to be more aggressive and drop the bath robe. It would've been priceless to see Jim's face.

I was hoping Jim would cheat on Pam, then get busted for drunk driving.

Loved this episode. Especially Rainn Wilson. He was on fire.

"Wanna see a picture of me trapped under a tree?"
"Our biggest attraction is our 200-year old mattresses."
"That's a bedbug, everything's a joke."
"They don't make these cords in boot cut anymore."
"Real men swallow's his vomit when a lady is present."

Jim and Dwight continue to amuse.

My favorite line of the night was Jim imitating that cocky bedbug and saying, "He was walking away like he thought it was funny."

Loved Dwight's '200-year-old mattress' line...

The Office could have really tackled real love issues like infidelity, horniness, romance, sex as a career tool, interoffice dating, cougarism, etc. instead, it took the easy road out. Jim needs to ditch Pam and go for Kathy. She's so much hotter than Pam.

Yes because hotness is the only reason to go for someone. Cathy is obviously a manipulating bitch, hot as she may be. Pam is pretty damn cute and though she's put on some baby weight, she's still adorable.

The Office has always avoided cliche's when it came to Pam and Jim, and I'm glad they continued down that path. They could've easily had something happen between the two... A stolen kiss, perhaps... but they didn't.

And go through the motions of a cliche sitcom plot? No thanks. This was the best way to handle it. The Office has always done it this way. The best example being when Pam had to leave for art school a few seasons ago.

Sorry that it's not animated...

Spoiler:



FYI, the girl that plays Cathy was formerly an intern on the Howard Stern Show. She will be appearing on his channels next week. (Howard 101 - The Intern Show - Thursday 7pm Eastern)

I thought it was hilarious how Dwight and Stanley didn't even bat an eye seeing Cathy in Jim's bed.

Re: The Office -- "After Hours" -- 2/23/12

I was very distracted by my kids while watching this and after I already deleted it I realized I must have missed the part regarding Dwight giving the boss his key card. Did he destroy the key card for some reason? Also, because I'm an idiot and ALWAYS forget to pad my Thursday night shows by a minute, I missed the last bit after the credits. Can anyone help?

Yes, Dwight did destroy the card.

The last minute part, we find Dwight and Jim in bad eating cake. While the boss trying to use the card to get in the room.

Funny episode, I'm curious what else they will do with Jim and Kathy.
