Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Michael has to go to counseling with Toby; Dwight seeks revenge on a local mall; Pam fakes her way into a new position.

Our Take

A middling episode that leans on Michael and Toby’s awkward sessions for most of its laughs, and it mostly delivers thanks to their reliably uncomfortable chemistry. The Dwight mall plot is thin, though Pam’s fake administrator gambit gives her something fun to do. Not a standout, but an easy enough half hour if you’re already on board with season seven.
