Jim returns to the game of Celebrity and undermines Michael's turn by intentionally guessing the wrong names to obvious clues.Īfter the game, Michael tries to make a sales pitch to Jim and Andy to buy shares in Jan's candle company for $10,000, which Andy immediately accepts. Jim concedes the point and tries to escape alone, but Pam forces a smiling Jim to stay. His attempt to escape the party with Pam is thwarted when Michael notes that only one person needs to check on the damage. The lyrics of the song and Jan's provocative dancing suggest that he lost his virginity to her.ĭuring a disastrous game of Celebrity, Jim excuses himself and pretends to have received a telephone call informing him that his apartment has flooded. When she returns, Jan plays a music CD (" The Hunted") recorded by her former assistant, Hunter. All that's left to do is braise the ossobuco, which will take three hours, she says. When Andy and Angela arrive, Jan offers to take them on a short tour before starting dinner.
Michael tells Pam that if she needs help, "I'm just a phone call away." Jan angrily remarks to Michael, "I bet you are." To be polite, Jim confesses that he has no talent for crafts, and Pam joins in by mentioning that Jim couldn't set up her TiVo. Michael is also proud of a crude wooden table he built. Michael demonstrates how he sleeps on a small bench at the foot of the bed because Jan has "some space issues." Jan has gotten her way with the home decor, although Michael takes comfort in his small plasma television mounted on the wall. Jan then leads the guests into the master bedroom and playfully scolds Michael for not putting away the video camera tripod which was most likely from Jan filming them having sex which was mentioned in " Women's Appreciation." One bedroom has been converted into Jan's office (which appears unused) another is her workspace where she makes candles for her home business: " Serenity by Jan." The aroma from the candles is overpowering. Jim and Pam are welcomed by Michael and Jan, who give them a tour of the condo. Although Dwight wants to attend, Michael explains that the party is only for couples, that he also invited Andy and Angela, and that he only has six wine glasses.
Their Friday evening now free, Jim and Pam have no excuse for declining Michael's latest invitation to socialize - in this case, a dinner party at his condo. Michael pretends that corporate has ordered the staff to work late on a Friday night, then pretends to call corporate to reverse their decision.
