- A brief synopsis – Andy brings his A Capella group in for a Halloween Concert, and is subsequently driven sideways by Broccoli Rob, which taxes Erin. Jim and Pam have a dispute over his investment in the new venture. Nellie and Dwight obsess over a pill.
- The best line – Kevin – It turns out that Pam really, really hates monster mash. I mean, like, never bring up that song in front of her. Even though Jim was making great points, like, in favor of the song. Pam was like, no, stupid.
- The best moment – Creed’s outfit…what a wonderful coincidence.
- 2nd best moment – Faith! And it’s aftermath.
- The best story line – Clark’s interest in Here Comes Treble is sweet, if for no other reason than it irks Stanley.
- Key exit(s) – …I will probably never see Here Comes Treble again. Please go away, Nellie.
- Notable guest appearance – Broccoli Rob! Stephen Colbert!
- Grade – B
I am tired of these things: Nellie, Oscar and The Senator (as a not-so ambiguously gay duo) and Nellie. Having Toby fall in love with a female version of himself just did not work. Dwight and the pill didn’t either. Even so, I still found many things charming about the episode. Erin, showing a both degree of sanity and insanity about Andy’s obsession is nice. So is the Jim and Pam desire versus reality storyline, especially as the backdrop of an A Capella song. The combination of Clark and Pete just works. And then the costumes. A good effort.
