Not sure why that was even a question, pretty obvious. I'd also like to say, for all those who think Pam overreacted, go back and look through some of the previous episodes at all of Mike's misbehavior and general lack of cooth and I think her anger is definitely justified. I really loved how Michael played Toby for a few seconds and when Toby turned out to be ineffective at calming Pam he quickly goes back to being an ass to Toby as usual. Also, I've read many comments on this site and in general there seems to be a lot of people that pick the show apart by either complaining that certain episodes are either unfunny or too unrealistic. I'm pretty sure you can't have both. I can't think of a good sit-com, or any sit-com, that mimics reality in the slightest. But, thank god, it's not realistic, it's funny, and that's why we watch! Andy shouts, “Woh!” but it’s clearly Ryan that says, “That’s my mother you’re talking about.” Not sure why that was even a question, pretty obvious.

Of course Pam overreacted, as she's pregnant with all those overactive hormones circulating, and this is one of her worst nightmares! That's what made this episode work for me. Loved the wooden duck (oops, mallard). Great episode! Of course Pam overreacted, as she’s pregnant with all those overactive hormones circulating, and this is one of her worst nightmares!

Overreacting Pam was quite artificial. Considering their ancient history of hatred :) , Michael convincing Toby so easy that they are friends was not convincing either. Toby called him "buddy" for gods sake. I actually think this was below par. Overreacting Pam was quite artificial.

I sang this aria in high school AND college and it is one of my favorites. I don't enjoy singing it as much as I enjoyed Jim blasting it in his office. WOW, so funny...inspired. Thanks office for being such a sophisticated show. I LOVED the aria in this episode! I sang this aria in high school AND college and it is one of my favorites.

Angry Jim and Pam are hilarious and so is Creed crying when he hears opera music. As for Dwight, he can try as much as he wants but I don't think he'll ever be able to sabotage Jim.

It's like a parent calling a child by their full name when they're reprimanding him or her. As for Pam, she definitely overreacted. But as others have said, her worst nightmare has come true. The man who has said racist and homophobic remarks and even sexually harassed her for years is now dating her mother. She didn't handle it well, but I really can't hate her for completely flipping out. #210, Penny, I think Michael was just pulling the “dad” card when he said “Pamela Morgan Beesly.” It’s like a parent calling a child by their full name when they’re reprimanding him or her.
