When Michael is forced to pick a low-grade health care plan for his employees, he tells Dwight to do it for him. When Dwight chooses an extraordinarily bad plan for the Scranton Branch, the workers complain and Michael hides in his office, not wanting to face the wrath of his employees. Written by Anonymous
This is another great episode of Season 1. Here, Dwight is the center of attention for the first time and certainly not the last. It was especially funny when the employees recognized Dwight's ridiculous behavior and made a joke out of the very serious situation. The B plot is also just as great. (Michael promises everyone that there will be a surprise by the end of the day and struggles to come up with anything.) The long, awkward pause at the end of the episode is very cringe-y and is the first real uncomfortable moment of the show. (This will become a major part of the humor of the show.) Overall, Health Care is another great entry to Season 1.
