Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Michael becomes infatuated with the woman replacing Toby; Jim plan to propose to Pam is upstaged by Andy; Michael gets a surprise from Jan.

Our Take

A packed season finale that mostly earns its big moments. Holly’s arrival finally gives Michael a believable romantic match, and the proposal cliffhanger lands hard even if Andy getting there first feels a bit contrived. Jan’s baby bombshell is played just right for laughs. It’s a busy hour that occasionally strains to fit everything in, but the payoff stuff works. Worth your time.
