This episode was hands down the funniest episode of the eighth season. It had a great plot, and even the Andy plot was subtly, succinct, and sweet. This truly was 20x better than last weeks episode, which somehow got an A-. This does in no way deserve the same rating as the terrible "Gettysburg" got.

As much as a Pam/Jim fight might make things interesting, a divorce or separation won't happen. The Office writers might be struggling, but they aren't stupid. They would never break apart the one couple that many people associate with. If they do… well then.. first they killed Carell's character, Dwight will be…
