Summary

The office staff finds out that Michael has set up e-mail surveillance.

Our Take

A surprisingly strong episode that leans on Michael’s neediness without making him unbearable. The basement party scene with Jim and the warehouse guys is a nice change of pace, and the cold open with Dwight’s surveillance paranoia lands well. It drags a little in the middle stretch, but the character work makes up for it. Worth your time.
