Dwight helps Michael prepare for the birth of Jan's baby. Michael vows to feign dislike for Holly to appease Jan. Pam and Jim have trouble communicating while she's at art school.
Write a Recap »good. not as good as the previous two episodes but still good. Jan has a baby named astird and michael isnt there to witness the birthing process. Dwight tests a 1200 dollar stroller to see if its indestructible, jan sings to a baby for a half hour, and pam and jim have the usual dramatic thing at the end. The whole stroller thing was funny as hell. And the watermelon birth is a classic office moment. Another funny moment is when jan sings to the baby and makes everybody watch for a half hour and she describes the afterbirth floating around in the tub she gave birth in. In conclusion, a good not great episode
This is episode is probably the weirdest one in the series. Michael and Jan have a baby. Jan gives birth to the baby, but Michael is not there to see it, or "mark" the baby (Dwight tells Michael to mark the baby with a permanent marker right when Jen gives birth so that they know it's their baby). In the beginning of the episode, Dwight gives birth to a watermelon. They throw a baby shower for Michael, not knowing that Jan already gave birth. The gift for Jan and Michael from the office is a cheap baby stroller. Jen already owns a baby stroller that costs 1,000 dollars. Meanwhile, Dwight tests how durable Jen's baby stroller is.
Very great episode. Funny. I really reccomend it!
Exactly why I still tune into this series. hide show
Michael was completely in character throughout this entire episode. No wonder Jan caught on to his crush on Holly. He was completely mean to her everything she came around Jan. I felt a bit sorry for Holly at times, I could till her feelings were hurt by Michael's comments. It was even sweeter when she said...
"So your still gonna be mean to be"
Then he hugged her. I got to say that hug was unexpected and it made me love this couple even further. Jim and Pam proved how much being apart wasn't meant for them. Dwight was hilarious as usual... a brilliant installment. It did amaze me though, that as soon as Jan told him not to see Holly, he still went ahead anyway... that was why that hug was so unexpected. I loved this installment, Holly gave it that extra spicing up it needed. Jan was typically mean as usual... still in character. What made this episode was Holly-Michael scenes and Dwight-baby carriage scenes...HILARIOUS!

Things go awry when Michael and his team organize a baby shower for Jan. hide show
This is officially the worst 'Office' episode ever. I repeat - the worst office episode ever. For one reason, it wasn't funny though the writers have done their desperate best to fit in some lines here and there. I have always noticed that even the most mediocre episodes have some bit of balancing out. For instance, if Michael's part doesn't do well, there is always a Jim-Dwight sequence that makes up for it. And at the end of the day, most of us are happy. The highlight of this installment would include how most of us would have felt sorry for Michael. He continues to be a jerk, who no one cares about. The other characters apparently dwell in their own worlds, lending pretty much nothing to the main plot. I guess the writers are out of ideas. Its sad, seriously, very sad. I hope the show doesn't spiral down and get axed eventually.
Jan's baby shower at the office. hide show
This was a great and funny episode. The episode started off with a hilarious cold open with Dwight having Michael's watermelon baby, and then Michael eating the watermelon, while Dwight is in his pink underwear behind him. I am so happy that Michael asked Holly out, and it was very cute went he hugged her. Pam is still not back, she's been gone for long enough, I miss her!! :( My favorite line was when Dwight said "Jan had the baby and Michael wasn't there to mark it, now the baby could be anybody's... except Michael's". This episode was way better than last week's and it's my favorite episode so far. I hope they have a Halloween episode this year!
