This one has a cold open we don't like, and an ending we love. Also, more Kevin and Lynn in the Superfan cut!

Michael Scott is back, with a new company, and a stack of rectangle-shaped pancakes! We're on episode 4 of the Michael Scott Paper Company arc, and that means Josh Boltz is back, sitting down with Hilton and Brian to talk about Scranton's newest paper supplier. We're getting to know a whole new office, complete with a new intro and new challenges! Will they manage to work it all out? And meantime, Jim is struggling with Charles' latest assignment, and why are Dwight and Andy so cozy all of a sudden? Does it have something to do with the new receptionist...

They got Vikram! And Ryan, even though he wasn’t supposed to be on the list. The Michael Scott Paper Company arc continues, and the world of the The Office gets bigger than ever as we bring back the best lipophedrine salesman in northeast Pennsylvania and introduce shrewd financier Nana. It’s all part of Michael’s plan to get his new business off the ground. Join our dream team of Brian, Josh, and Hilton as we reach the halfway point of the arc and start to see the cracks in Charles Miner’s facade. But will Michael Scott Paper Co...

Michael only has two weeks left at Dunder Mifflin, if he can make it that long. Unsure what to do next, Michael's puttering around the office is driving people crazy. But once he finds some direction, could it lead him out of the Office for good! Josh is back with Brian and Hilton, as we christen him our resident third for the rest of the MSPC arc. Can the Office survive its biggest threat yet?!

Prince Charles Miner arrives, and nothing will ever be the same at Dunder Mifflin. Could this be the end to Michael's run as Branch Manager? Will someone see through Jim's shenaningans? Did Angela have Charles' scarf? So many questions this week, lukcily we have Josh Boltz back to navigate all the twists and turns!
