Dwight Schrute:
When you become close with someone, you develop a kind of sixth sense. You can read their moods like a book. And right now, the title of Michael's book is "Something Weird is Going On: What Did Jan Say? The Michael Scott Story." By Michael Scott with Dwight Schrute.

It is such a nice change of pace when a show that usually never takes plot as a priority gives an episode like this. In a way, season 3 so far has been leading up to this as we got to know the other branch when Jim moved. Seeing everyone's different reaction to the news jan tells michael at the beginning of the episode was genius and brilliant. Seeing michael and dwight go on a basically pointless mission but bonding over it was great to see and very funny at times.
Not the funniest episode, but the most plot driven and emotional at times. I am very intrigued to see where the show goes from here
