I just watched this again after not seeing it since it's original air, and I can say now that this is one of my favorite episodes. The comedy is some of the best in the series, and the characters, especially Michael and Holly display such a wide range of emotions. This is one of those episodes where you just can't stop laughing.
To the reviewer before me I say that you need to lighten up. All I can think of is Michael's nephew when I read your review. The point of this episode was to celebrate Holly and Michael's love and to build up to their exit from the show. Maybe Holly was so infatuated with Michael she didn't care or forgot about her position and the rules and did it any way. That happens to people. Also Pam and Jim were drunk off their ass. Anything can happen when you're drunk off your ass. It was a good joke to fill in time. The fact that they went through with it doesn't cheapen their relationship at all. It shows they are human and that great couples do stupid stuff, especially when drunk and horny.
Also, about your last paragraph: junk happens. People screw up, especially in the business world. For Pam to miss Michael's goodbye would have been awful. Pam has been developed into Michael's sort of guardian angel, and for her to miss that would have been horrible.
Anyway, this is a fantastic episode and you'll love it... Get it, you'll love it, cause it's a valentines episode ;)
