The forced Jim/Pam fighting and lack of Michael Scott are enough to keep this Halloween episode at the back of the pack, with a last place ranking.Ĥ. He notices the cameras have caught them, gives a regretful guilty look and walks away. The episode closes with Oscar (Oscar Nunez) (dressed as a crocodile, aka the Electoral College) kissing Angela’s (Angela Kinsey) husband, Senator Robert Lipton (Jack Coleman), behind the office building. (We don’t know about you, but the argumentative plotline between Jim and Pam in the later seasons is such a stretch and we’re not here for it.) When Pam finds out, they begin to fight during the Treble performance. He insists on putting in $10,000 (much more than he previously agreed to with Pam) even though the investing window has already closed.
While this is all happening, Jim goes out to lunch with a group of investors for his new job. She entertains Dwight by joining in on the hunt. Nellie (Catherine Tate), who’s a “hot version of Toby,” knows the pill is hers but doesn’t want to admit it. Now dressed as a pig, Dwight finds an anti-anxiety pill on the floor and goes on a hunt to find the “madman” who it belongs to. The group shows up and performs Michael’s Faith, one of Andy’s signature songs, and just as he’s about to start on his solo, Broccoli Rob (played by guest-star Stephen Colbert) pops up via webcam to take over.

Clearly not wanting to go that route, Dwight decides to let the pumpkin rot off, which he estimates will take about a month or so.Īs all the other office workers settle into their desks, we get a glimpse at their Halloween costumes. When Dwight tries to take off the pumpkin, he realizes he's stuck and enlists the help of Jim (John Krasinski)…who demonstrates smashing it off with a baseball bat. The opening is definitely the highlight of the episode as Dwight (Rainn Wilson) wears a jack-o'-lantern on his head to play a prank on his coworkers (the only person he scares is Erin, aka Ellie Kemper, naturally). Ooph, where do we even begin? There are so many subplots to this episode so let’s dive right on in.
