Summary

The office attends beach day which Michael uses to try and determine who would replace him if he gets a job at corporate.

Our Take

A rare episode where the whole cast gets room to be funny at once, and the beach setting shakes up the usual office rhythms. The games are hit or miss, but Pam’s coal walk and speech at the end land hard, giving the season’s emotional arc a real payoff. Worth it for the last five minutes alone.
