Summary
The Michael Scott Paper Company runs into financial trouble but Dunder Mifflin is worried about the clients they are losing.
Our Take
A tight, satisfying half hour that pays off the Michael Scott Paper Company arc better than expected. Michael negotiating from a position of weakness and somehow landing on his feet feels earned, not cartoonish, and Pam and Ryan finally get real things to do. The Dwight/Charles tension is good for a few laughs too. One of season five’s strongest, and it moves fast. Worth your time.
