Summary
Michael and Dwight set out to pull a prank on Utica when they find out that Karen is trying to steal Stanley.
Our Take
A silly, low-stakes half hour that mostly coasts on Michael’s childish grudge logic, and honestly that’s enough. The prank mission has some decent absurdity, though the Utica stuff feels thinner than the show’s best workplace chaos. Not a season highlight, but the Stanley subplot gives it a bit of grounding. Fine as a casual watch, just don’t expect big laughs.
