The Story Arcs are Opening
jonniedylanoliver20 May 2020
Engaging more in the Jim-and-Pam arc and starting the Michael-And-Jan storyline. A classic episode with a great main plot and b-plot.

The Client (#2.7)

Warning: Spoilers
Jan and Michael go to sign up a client and end up in a motel together.

This episode has an interesting story because now that it happened between Jan and Michael (even though nothing really happened) it will have some interesting future.

The true beginning of The office
mattjsburton15 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This episode brilliantly marks the beginning of more than one office romance. On the one hand, this episode highlights the cracks present in Pam and Roy's tainted relationship, whilst also foreshadowing the start of Pam and Jim's romantic affair. Meanwhile, following the successful client meeting which was orchestrated by Michael, him and Jan get together on a more intimate level as the pair make out and chat for hours in a hotel room. However the confrontational argument over the phone, following there outburst of drunk passion helps to foreshadow how the two relationships will eventually Pan out. Wonderfully written with a strong storyline, and the final scene where Jim and Michael make eye contact before simultaneously sighing and rolling their eyes helps to beautifully illustrate the difficulties and hardships of love in a more light hearted yet meaningful way.

Warning: Spoilers
Michael and Jan leave the office to go to Chilly's to meet up with a client to persuade them to work with Dunder Mifflin.

The office employees read out a script found in Michael's office that Michael created. Phyllis plays Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Michael calls Pam to find a good joke for him through his references in his office. Jan wants to stick to the topic of business but Michael jokes around with the client. Michael orders alcohol and the other two do as well.

Michael has connected socially with the client and the client agrees to work with them. Jan is ecstatic. Michael and Jan kiss. Jan goes to the car and they leave.

The next morning Jan is seen by the employees to not have left with her car. She comes to the office by taxi and leaves with her own car. This sparks rumours that Michael and Jan had sex.

Michael doesn't want to talk about it but finally tells us that they went to a hotel and made out. She talked about her divorce.

Jan calls Michael and we hear an anxious Michael trying to smoothen out their first fight - Michael attempts to convince Jan last night was not a mistake.

Very decent episode, I liked it a lot but I want a little bit more dar humour because I'm feeling it's getting softer and softer, still enjoyable so can't complain a lot.

Warning: Spoilers
This Episode begins with Michael, he has a meeting with Jan. Michael and Jan are visiting Chili's for business. Michael and Jan have a meeting with Christian at Chili's. Michael and Jan have nailed it. Michael kissed Jan at the parking lot. Dwight slept at the office this night. Dwight sees that Jan was at the office early this morning. Michael tells that he had sex with Jan in a hotel. Amazing Episode of The Office Season 2, this was a really funny Episode. The affair between Michael and Jan was the main event during this Episode. Really loved it, hoping for more events of this affair. Exciting to watch!

Defining Character Michael
AnalyticalFilmCritic23 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The first episode that really shows Michael is a genius salesman, it fundamentally sets him apart from David Brent. Also the episode starting the Michael and Jan romance. So a very important episode for the show.
