The Office: Episode 95 – Mafia

• The Writer – Brent Forrester
• Director – David Rogers
• A brief synopsis – Michael feels like he was coerced into buying insurance from a salesman  after Andy and Dwight convince him he seems to be a member of the mob.  Jim and Pam have to battle phone calls from a variety of people at Dunder Mifflin Scranton for a variety of reasons.
• The best line –
  Oscar:
  Pam and Jim are on their honeymoon. So there’s not the usual balance between “sane and others.” Toby has mentally checked out since June. It’s a very dangerous time. The “coalition for reason” is extremely weak.

   

  Toby:
  Oscar says I checked out huh? Huh. [nods head]

• 2nd best line – Kevin: Jim’s gone on his honeymoon. So I started borrowing his office to fart in. Then one day I came in and I just stayed. Cause this place is awesome. It feels like home now. Even better than my home. My home sucks.
• The best moment – Kevin gets Pam and Jim’s card cancelled on their honeymoon.
• The best storyline – Pam and Jim, trying to avoid a variety of calls.
• Notable guest appearance – Mike Starr as Grotti.
• Would Michael have been reprimanded? – n/a
• Grade – C+

A letdown episode after the early season high of “Niagara” as everyone goes through the motions of what really could have been a good episode.  It really was just missing something…can’t say it was Jim and Pam either.  At least Kevin, Oscar and Toby were all right.
