Sesongpremiere. Ved et uhell avslører Michael at en av de ansatte er homofil, mens Jim forsøker å tilpasse seg den nye tilværelsen uten Pam.

Michael havner i trøbbel når Jan oppdager at han arrangerer filmdag for de ansatte hver mandag. Samtidig presser Angela Dwight til å sette kloa i Michaels jobb.

Michaels tidligere sjef er død, og Michael forsøker så godt han kan å guide de ansatte gjennom sorgprosessen.

The Scranton branch was getting ready for their new employees to arrive in from the defunct Stamford branch. Pam was especially excited to be reunited with Jim. While, Michael was most concerned with impressing his new staff.

Angela and Kevin were trying to figure out where extra money in the budget came from. Jan let them know it was money Dunder-Mifflin received for hiring an ex-convict. Michael swore he never hired an ex-convict. Jan informed him that the person must have come from the merger.

Michael was in the holiday spirit and couldn't wait to share in it with his girlfriend, Carol. He had bought two tickets to paradise, hoping to whisk her away on a romantic vacation to Jamaica. Carol came by the office early to have a talk with Michael and it didn't go well.
