Yay! The Office is back, The Office is back!
I know I've missed Jim and Pam, Michael and Dwight, but there's that good chance that you have forgot where things left off when those ink pens dried up. So, courtesy of moi here at otherkidspacklunch, here's a Post-Writers Strike catch-up so you'll be ready for that big Office premiere.
- Jim and Pam are now an item. Who could forget that, right? Since the Season 4 premiere, the two have been seen kissing and, in one instance, even shared a weekend together at Dwight's Beet Farm.
- Karen's gone! She is now the regional manager at the Utica branch. During an uncomfortable run-in with Jim, Karen scolds Jim for leaving her in NYC to go to Pam.
- Michael and Jan are still together despite the fact that Jan sold out Michael by providing Dunder-Mifflin with his diary. This prompted Michael to go bat for Dunder-Mifflin instead of Jan. However, despite this "setback," the two remain together. As of the final pre-strike episode, the two were living together in Michael's apartment where Jan was busy bleeding Michael dry financially.
- Pre-strike, Dwight and Angela had broken up when Dwight idiotically did in her sick cat. However, it appears Angela still has feelings for Dwight - made most apparent by the fact that she's now dating Andy in order to make Dwight jealous.
- Ryan has left Scranton and is now working for the corporate office where he is busy becoming a first-class dick. He has also initiated "Dunder-Mifflin Infinity," a website that allows customers to order their paper online. This has been a sore spot for Michael and one that he has fought adamantly against.
- Kelly and Ryan's "relationship" appears to be over despite her pretending to be pregnant once and her attempts at making Ryan jealous by dating Darryl from the warehouse.
- Meredith suffered a pelvic injury when Michael ran over her in the Dunder-Mifflin parking lot. While hospitalized for treatment, it was discovered that she had contracted rabies from the bat that made an appearance in season 3's episode, "Business School". Michael sees this as another opportunity for an event and initiates a marathon for "supporting the rabid."
- Toby appears to still be smitten with Pam.
- The other Kelly - that's me - is still insanely in love with all the inhabitants of Dunder-Mifflin's Scranton branch.
