After Michael give his two weeks, ends up not getting a job (mainly though not looking) he decides to start his own paper company and Pam is the only one who joins him. I enjoyed how Michael went overboard with the french toast and other activities that seem important to him but really delaying doing any work. Pam decides to help Michael get in the right direction that is mostly sincere with some subtle mocking. Michael is able to get some new employees with first getting Vikram. It was nice seeing him again. Michael also gets Ryan. The interaction between Ryan and Pam was pretty funny. One of my favorite moments of the season happened when one of the bowling alley employees let's go shoe bitch. Michael even had an investor lined him which is revealed to be his grandmother. While that was funny he went to her, I do wonder why he didn't go to his mother or Jeff. Things seem to be falling apart when Vikram leaves and his investor drops out. This leads Pam to second guess her decision to leave. Great scene when Michael tries to cheer her up. It doesn't take anything away from his speech to Pam when his story has nothing with his point.
Meanwhile back at the office Jim is still under Charles thumb until he reveals he likes soccer which Jim really doesn't like. He does it out of desperation. I did like what he said about performing his job and the effort he puts into it. Dwight trying to hurt/help (but more hurt) Jim was amusing. It remained me a little bit of That 70's Show when Hyde would tease Kelso about Laurie when Jackie was around. Things go from bad to worse for Jim when he accidentally lets Phyllis get hurt. His relationship with Charles gets more complicated but more funny.
When Michael does find an office it's at the place he least wants to be. However he makes the best out of it.moreless
