Summary
Michael attempts to sabotage Jim’s efforts at a promotion.
Our Take
A surprisingly sharp episode that mines real tension from Michael’s insecurity about Jim’s rise. Carell plays the sabotage with just enough pettiness to stay funny without tipping into cartoonish. The cold open is a highlight, and the pacing rarely sags. Not a classic, but a solid, well-balanced half hour that earns its rating.
