She will eventually see Dwight as he really is, but he'll probably have her favor long enough to influence her decision.

Now I just saw this promo - maybe he'll be right.

I can't see either of them willingly going back to a salesman position. Michael now has this complex where he has to be the boss and I can't see him accepting being a subordinate again. As for Jim, he made it clear that he can't be a salesman anymore and he needs the money. I have a feeling that Jim is going to quit in this episode. Even though Jo was less annoyed with him, there's the Dwight/Ryan alliance that could sway her, and he is less experienced. It's possible that Pam as his wife and a subordinate in the office could play into it too. Beyond that, it's just a hunch. I really have no idea how this episode is going to play out.

I think it's clear now that erin and andy have enough chemistry to make a seriously cute couple. Obviously not JAM levels, but close. It's clear the two characters are kind of clueless (idiotic, in some ways), but in a sweet, endearing kind of way... like michael if he were nicer and less self-obsessed.
