Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Jim gets caught lying about having jury duty; Angela has her baby.

Our Take

A middling episode that leans hard on Jim’s lie and stretches believability, though John Krasinski and Jenna Fischer do their best with thin material. The Angela baby subplot gets a few good cringes, and Robert California’s odd energy helps. It’s watchable and occasionally funny, but it feels like the show coasting on familiar rhythms rather than trying anything new.
