3. Kevin announced that his fiancée, Stacy, dumped him. Not that we didn't see this coming (didn't he say in past episodes that their relationship was ''complicated?''). Since she was the fourth woman he proposed to (even if she was his second favorite), you know it hurt. And it was a bitter breakup. Who didn't feel for Kev when he tearfully confessed that, ''After Stacy left, things did not go well for a while and it was hard to see... It's just nice to win one''? On the other hand, who else noticed the weird CGI versions of Stanley and Creed in the window behind Kevin during his various confessionals? Stanley just stroked his chin repetitively without any other movement while Creed didn't budge. Is this a regular thing? It looked unbelievably fake and very creepy.
4. Michael failed to order a new chair. Let's start at the beginning with this one. Apparently he's been trying to pick out a new office chair for three weeks. He promised Pam his old one (which, from her description, uses air pressure to change heights). She, in turn, promises hers to Creed, who then uttered another great line: ''When Pam gets Michael's old chair, I get Pam's old chair. Then I'll have two chairs. Only one to go.'' Too bad it was his one real line of dialogue (though I loved it when he screamed ''Yo!'' and ''Dat!'' on the phone with Pammy). Why can't Mike decide on a seat? He's fallen in love with the female model on page 85 of the supply catalog: ''She dresses like a professional, and yet you know there is a side of her that could just curl up on a couch.'' The upshot of all this?
5. Michael's ready to date again. So I guess he's permanently left Jan since the dinner party (Where is he living now? With Dwight, I assume?). And it's a little depressing: ''What's it like being single?'' he asks the camera crew. ''I like it. I like starting each day with a sense of possibility. And I'm optimistic, because every day I get a little more desperate and desperate situations yield the quickest results.'' But the old joke that Michael — who is not exactly a fanny magnet himself — has pretty high standards kept it good and light. As he tells the staff, ''So FYI for those of you who are thinking of fixing me up with any of your friends: Use the woman on page 85 as a template. That will be all.''
NEXT: Jim gets down on one knee and asks Pam a question.
