Quotes:

Michael Scott: As I watched Pam's big, strong hand coming towards my face, I saw my entire life flash before my eyes. And guess what? I have four kids, and I have a hover car and a hover house. And my wife is a runner, and it shows. And Pam and Jim are our best friends, and our kids play together. And I'm happy, I'm rich, and I never die. And it doesn't sound like much, but it's enough for me.

So-so episode

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

I really wasn't impressed with this episode. I thought that it started in a funny way and that Micheal was acting typical Micheal, but I thought that Pam was outside her character. We all remember Pam as a nice girl that wasn't ever violent. I understand that her rage was trying to be projected, but I found it extremely tasteless that she wanted to get into a fist fight. I do not support violence and due to this Pam and Jim as less of heroes to me. I added Jim to the list because I saw him as a supporter to Pam's violent behavior. I felt sorry for Micheal being humiliated for no reason, he just broke up with Pam's mother, that's really not a big deal. He even didn't do it in any offensive way. So, this episode was a disappointment. The problem could have been resolved differently.
