I'm probably going to forget all the jokes and things I want to mention because I'm trying to do too many things at once. But luckily for us, there's plenty of time to discuss this episode

The cold open was so funny! I loved that Pam draws funny little things on Post-Its to give to Michael during meetings. That was such a little little character thing - I loved it! I think it's great that even though it's annoying, she goes with it anyway.

Oh, Michael just broke my heart tonight. He made me laugh, most definitely, but he was just so vulnerable and human tonight. He really loves Jan and she betrayed him at every turn to get what she wants. I didn't expect any less, but you could tell that it really did break Michael's heart. He's been supporting her financially, emotionally, etc and she just sold him out. I was really disappointed in Jan. Not surprised, but disappointed - especially after her big speech in 'Money.' I can see now why Greg Daniels mentioned a cliffhanger for this episode. Because it's not really a cliffhanger, but there is an air of uncertainty about Jan and Michael's relationship now.

Great moment between Michael and David Wallace. I think David Wallace is such a good guy and you could just tell that he felt so bad about being put on the spot like that. I wish we had more David Wallace (and less Douchy!Ryan). I mean, I love BJ, but I can't stand Ryan when he's in the room.

Toby cracked me up! I think he made me laugh the most. He was clearly enjoying Michael being humiliated in the deposition, but then he really tried to be nice to Michael in the cafeteria. BTW, how heartbreaking/hilarious was that lunchroom scene? High school flashback! I thought it was so cool of Michael to sit with Toby and cool of Toby to let him. But Michael just couldn't be nice to him for more than a few minutes. You could just see it on his face. The subtle pushing of the tray just made me laugh SO hard!

I'm so happy we got to see the Darryl/Jim ping pong match. We got Sweaty!Jim (though not as much as I would like!) and it was awesome. I was a little annoyed that Pam wasn't sticking up for Jim, but she IS really competitive, so I could see it. Besides I could see how Kelly's 'smack talk' would annoyed the hell out of anyone! The bathroom thing cracked me up!

I LOVED that Pam put together a ping pong table in the conference room and started recruiting people to play Jim so he could improve his skillz. It reminded me of the Office Olympics a bit, though again, I wish we could have seen more of everyone. No Andy? In a competitive situation? That's a crime! We were also missing Angela, Stanley, Phyllis, Oscar and Creed

Great stuff with Dwight, though! Oh and I loved the Dwight/Mose tag - Mike Schur is so full of win!!

It cracked me up when Pam decided to take matters into her own hands and play Kelly - and they both suck! Why do I feel like after that, Pam was going to drag Jim upstairs to play until she improved HER skillz? Ha!

This was a good episode. I think it was a step up from some of the previous episodes and I'm glad we got this to end on. I hate that the show is dark now and this strike hiatus is already the pits. But I really enjoyed this episode.
