Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Michael is upset when he realizes he wasn’t invited to attend the actual launch party in New York; Andy pursues Angela.

Our Take

The second half of the launch party storyline works better than the first, mostly because Michael’s spiral into jealousy gives Steve Carell plenty of room to be ridiculous. Andy’s awkward pursuit of Angela lands some genuinely funny moments too. It’s a solid, confident episode that coasts a bit in the middle, but the closing beats make it worth your time.
