The Office Recap: Branch Wars
by lostofficehero on Nov.01, 2007, under tv
“Besides having sex with men, this is the gayest thing I’ve ever done.”
–Oscar, when asked about “The Finer Things Club”
Karen is back! And she’s now the regional manager of the Utica branch. Who knew Dunder Mifflin would be growing so fast? Anyway, Karen tries to steal Stanley from the Scranton branch and that upsets Michael. So he and Dwight devise a plan to get even with Karen by taking Jim to the Utica branch and vandalizing it. They are armed with bottles of crazy string and in warehouse uniforms (apparently, Jim’s was a female uniform).
Man, I’m struggling to write this. Bottom line, Stanley doesn’t go – he was bluffing to see if Michael would give him more money. Michael didn’t.
Pam, Oscar and Toeby form an exclusive club called “The Finer Things Club.” It’s gay. Very gay.
Karen love/hates Jim and seems to still have feelings for him. Jim hurts her by telling her how happy he is with Pam. Blah blah blah blah blah.
I like Karen, I hope she continues to make these cameos on the show. I’m guessing this is all heading towards a Pam/Jim breakup and a Pam/Tobey & Jim/Karen hookup. By the time the show is over, everyone will have banged everyone else – kinda like Friends.
I’m going to sleep now.
