Episode Summary & Review

Summary

While the office celebrates Halloween, Michael comes upset that Darryl went to corporate with an idea; Jim is set on figuring out why Danny didn’t call Pam back when they went on some dates.

Our Take

A fun Halloween episode that leans on the costume gimmick without wearing it out. The Jim and Danny subplot gives Pam something to do besides react, and Michael’s wounded pride over Darryl lands some genuine laughs. It’s lighter on heart than the best of season 7, but the pacing never drags and the gags mostly connect. Worth a watch.
