Last night’s episode of THE OFFICE featured plenty of so-cute-we-want-to-vomit moments between Pam and Jim, a fun scene where we got to see everyone at Dunder Mifflin dressed up for Halloween (Phyllis lurching around as Raggedy Anne = tragically hilarious), a drawn-out Cornell-fueled battle between Dwight and Andy, and, unfortunately, Michael and Holly’s really sad break up.
We think AMY RYAN is the best thing to happen to this show since Jim ditched Karen (sorry RASHIDA JONES, it’s nothing personal). After the jump, how we would re-write the latter half of last night’s episode.
After the second time Michael and Holly duet on “LIFE IS A HIGHWAY,” something clicks for Michael and he asks Darryl to turn the moving truck around. They stop at a Chili’s for lunch, where Michael calls David Wallace and tells him that if Holly is forced to transfer to New Hampshire, he’s going to resign from the company. Wallace agrees to give Holly her old job back as long as they agree to terminate their sexual relationship.
What Michael doesn’t realize is that due to the current economy, the New Hampshire branch was forced to close earlier that morning, so there is no new job for Holly in New Hampshire.
As Michael helps a grateful Holly unpack her things back in Scranton, they devise a plan to publicly break up in front of the office while continuing to secretly meet up — allowing for plenty of Dwight/Angela-esque hijinks. But because it’s Michael, he deviates from the plan and starts a rumor via Dwight that he’s breaking up with Holly because Daryl touched her. And she liked it.
Anything to get Kelly, who totally disproved our SEX AND THE CITY costume ban, involved in more scenes.
What do you think? Got any better ideas?

Wow, thanks for putting the spoiler in the headline of your post.
Yea. I love this duo. Last’s week episode where they decided to have sex was my highlight thus far this year.
Michael – “Are we going to have sex?”
Holly – “…Hell Yea”
Sad, but the Sex and the City ban was the first thing I thought of when I saw Kelly.
Having not looked ahead at plot synopses, etc. I’ve gotta say there’s no way that Holly isn’t back in an episode or two.
Sorry for the spoiler Eliot – my coworkers will beat me up if I ever do it again.
why copy a plot line from the same show? jim and pam once denied their relationship, same like you mentioned with dwight and anglea. let’s take another route.
please don’t put spoilers in the headlines of your posts, your readers aren’t exclusively from north america. thank you!
Don’t spoil +1.
Good plot twist. “Did Daryl touch you?” was hilarious.
Holly had to go because she is exactly like Michael and the show does not need 2 Michael’s. You can only take that so far right?
