The Office - "Customer Loyalty" (Jan. 24, 2013)


BEWARE OF SPOILERS!!!!!

This week on The Office...

CiCi has a dance recital that Jim asks Pam to record for him. Dwight heads a "customer loyalty" initiative to try to keep Darryl from moving to Philadelphia, and Nellie attempts to stage an office-wide intervention on Jake and Erin's flirtatious relationship while also confronting her past with Toby.

The funniest moment of this week's episode features Dwight and Darryl at a fast food restaurant, with Dwight wasting a perfectly good milkshake in order to pull a YouTube-caliber prank on the drive-thru guy. But as per usual, things don't end up going Dwight's way.
Other than that, tonight isn't much of a gutbuster. The ending left me upset and terrified for the future. I'm not a fan of seeing Jim and Pam on the rocks, and for the first time in recent memory, we see a "breach of the wall" when Pam reaches out to one of the show's cameramen for solace. I'm glad to see something new, but I don't like the circumstances at all. With today's announcement that Steve Carell would NOT be returning for the series finale still hanging heavy on my heart, this Thursday was a disappointing day for this Office stalwart.
