BEST. EPISODE. EV... okay, not ever, but still, right up there.

This was totally the relationship episode. For, I think, the first time this season, there was not a minute of it that I did not love.

The customer service surveys:
I desperately wanted Kelly to have fallen prey to some sort of Ryan scheme for revenge, where Jim's surveys were faked, but Dwight's were totally true, but Kelly taking out her teenaged girl's hatred on Jim and Dwight's career? TOTAL GOLD. Other brilliant things: Michael and Kelly commiserating about attendance at their parties, and of course Kelly can cry on command.

Dwight - Angela - Andy: (btw - is there a cute fandom name for the love triangle?)
"It has a bridal suite for my bridal sweet." Oh, Angela :( What in the hell did you ever do to inspire such devotion in not one but two men. And the look of love on her face in the last scene! Best Angela moment since the talking head about how she sleeps at night.

Jim and Pam
Oh, we all knew it was only a matter of time before That Boy From School caused some sort of problem.

Hooray for writers finding another way to keep long-distance-Pam in a whole episode, cause that missed connections plotline hurt my heart a little, as awesome as it was.

At the end of last season, I expected to see a tidal wave of fanfic where Pam moved to New York, and loved it there, and Jim was miserable, before finally taking a job at corporate so they could be together. I have no idea whether that got written or not, cause I stopped reading, but I've reclaimed that as my plan for the resolution of this plotline. Which will only happen if they're going to cancel the show, because there would be a major lack of normal people to play off of in the Scranton office. So I guess I hope they find another way.

And, one last random thought. Okay, so last week Jim's brothers, whose names I refuse to go look up because I am stubbornly refusing to admit that they exist, appeared to be the sort of reasonably well-educated smug assholes who do well in business. So why is Jim responsible for his parents' financial independence? I mean beyond the part where rainbows shine out of his ass, and he needs to buy a house for him and Pam so they can have babies and whatever. That house better have a terrace.
