ReplyDeleteI liked this episode! I laughed at Michael eating watermelon with Dwight a little too close, I applauded his hug and I was a little heartbroken with the JAM ending. I'm curious if the writers will put us through a very bad stretch for those two.
ReplyDeleteAfter watching all the watermelon prep, it was priceless to see Jan roll the stroller in. One of the funniest moments of the show!
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm biased against Jan for hiding her pregnancy from Michael to begin with, but a highlight of the episode was when Michael hugged Holly and realized he felt more sure of that relationship than the one with Jan and her baby.
It was incredibly disheartening to see Pam and Jim hit their first speedbump, especially since we saw so little of Pam last week. I want to say the writers did her some injustice in the beginning when she was chattering, but I guess it can be partly blamed on Jim's lack of privacy. But there was some resolution for us fans when Pam and Jim said basically the same things in their message. They are so right together... well, duh.
Lots of laughs in this one, but I think my favorite part was the hug with Holly and Michael. It was very sweet. Almost made ME tear up! And adorable to see Michael and Holly were both tearing up. Aw.
ReplyDeleteJan singing "Son of a Preacher Man" to her baby was one of the most cringe-worthy moments I've seen on TV in a long time! That was painful.
ReplyDeleteMaybe she and Hunter can put out a baby album together of inappropriate lullabies.
