Season 1 is in the books! It ends with Hot Girl. Michael lets a "hot girl" use the conference room to sell purses. The running joke is that she's a "hotter version of Pam." She has all the men (especially Michael) in a tizzy. Ultimately, Jim swoops in and lands the date, which Pam is not nearly as stoked about as she is leading on. For bonus episodes as well as many other benefits such as early access, show prep notes, personal shoutouts, and more BECOME A PATRON: https://www.patreon.com/BelatedBinge I'd love for you to join the discussion, which you can do on Patreon, or 2 other key ways: Leaving a voicemail on my website: https://www.belatedbinge.com/

The Office turns competitive when Michael (on behalf of the sales team) challenges the workers in the warehouse to a game of Basketball to determine who will have to work on Saturday. Michael and Dwight are as bad at hoops as you might expect. Stanley is much worse than Michael expects. Jim is actually pretty good. Somehow (plot) the sales team is winning when Michael takes an inadvertent elbow and calls the game off, but he's intimidated by the warehouse workers and decides nobody is working Saturday. Quick hitters: Pam is weird this whole episode. Kevin is a really good shooter. As a basketball fan, it's really hard to watch tv show basketball that's supposed to be played badly. For bonus episodes as well as many other benefits such as early access, show prep notes, personal shoutouts, and more BECOME A PATRON: https://www.patreon.com/BelatedBinge I'd love for you to join the discussion, which you can do here on Patreon, or 2 other key ways: Leaving a voicemail on my website: https://www.belatedbinge.com/

Dwight is the star of the Alliance episode. In the face of looming downsizing, Dwight asks Jim to form an alliance. Jim doesn't know what this means, but takes this as a sign from whatever higher power he believes in and runs with it. One particular high note is when Dwight climbs into a box in the warehouse to spy on a rumored meeting of members of a competing alliance. Hilarity ensues throughout. For bonus episodes as well as many other benefits such as early access, show prep notes, personal shoutouts, and more BECOME A PATRON: https://www.patreon.com/BelatedBinge I'd love for you to join the discussion, which you can do here on Patreon, or 2 other key ways: Leaving a voicemail on my website: https://www.belatedbinge.com/

Dwight Schrute is the star of the Healthcare episode. When Michael Scott is told he must pick a new, cheaper Healthcare plan for the employees of Dunder Mifflin Scranton branch, he knows it won't be received well. So, he does what Michael does when he has to do something he knows people won't like... he delegates.   On Jim's suggestion, he puts Dwight on the task and he's more than happy to be given this responsibility. Shenanigans follow including fake diseases, serious HIPAA violations, and more of Jim and Pam's chemistry shines through.   For bonus episodes as well as many other benefits such as early access, show prep notes, personal shoutouts, and more BECOME A PATRON: https://www.patreon.com/BelatedBinge   I'd love for you to join the discussion, which you can do here on Patreon, or 2 other key ways: 1.
