BEST USE OF SCREEN TIME: Phyllis. So much Phyllis in this episode! I do believe there was more Phyllis in “Crime Aid” than in any other previous Office episode. She was a guiding glorious light.
WORST USE OF SCREEN TIME: Jim. No pranks. Few lines. Jim glided by on his glances and looks alone. Though we have to ask: Is there trouble in Pamland? It seems as though the writers are just adding all this LDR tension to make things more interesting and not as predictable.

Best “That’s What She Said”: “It squeaks when you bang it.”
Phyllis (First?: Garbage, of course.)
David Wallace. Bless the writers for finding a way to bring our beloved D-Wallace out of New York and back into our hearts and minds in Scranton. And poor David. He just wants to help out, be a good boss, and is somehow always roped in to Michael’s various office love stories. Can’t he just enjoy a cup of tea and a newspaper while sitting in his robe on his giant teak porch in Martha’s Vineyard in peace? (Note: I’ve pictured the previously mentioned image plenty of times before I even knew the guy had a house on Martha’s Vineyard. Sigh.)
Roy works at The Vitamin Store now. But you know what they say: A Shoppe by any other name is called The Vitamin Store.

“Ahhh, it’s, uh, not worth it.”

Michael and Holly. I really love these two, but have a bad, bad feeling about the rest of the season. Amy Ryan — who plays Holly — is only listed as a guest star, and her time on The Office is limited. Plus, maybe we’re reading too much into it, but next week’s episode is titled “Employee Transfer”, and IMDB lists it as Ryan’s last appearance. Could Dunder Mifflin BMOC David Wallace be behind the possible Scranton Shake-up, following that spied kiss? What will the rest of the season be like for Michael without his lady? On second thought, depressed Michael is responsible for some of the best Office episodes ever… carry on.
If you missed the episode (and really, you should watch it), catch the entire thing over at Hulu.com.
