* In "The Lover", Dwight gives Jim an IncrediblyObviousBug in the form of a large wooden duck that produces high-pitched feedback and clearly has a walky-talky jammed into it. Jim obviously notices immediately. It's a classic example of Dwight's delusions about being some kind of evil mastermind...until the end of the episode, where Dwight reveals that the ''actual'' bug was small, subtle and in the ''pen'' he casually handed over before making a big show of the duck. [[ObfuscatingStupidity Now Jim assumes Dwight's too stupid to effectively spy on him, letting Dwight listen in to his communications with impunity]]. Dwight often claims to be TheChessmaster, but this might be the only time he actually lives up to it.

** A more gross example than normal, but still: everyone reacts snottily and selfishly, especially Dwight, when Pam politely requests they make a few changes in order to make her morning sickness a little easier to cope with, culminating in Dwight gloatingly eating a hard-boiled egg at his desk right next to her as a clear power move. Unfortunately for everyone, Pam's decided that if they aren't going to play nice, neither will she... and so she promptly ''vomits right into her trashcan next to Dwight'', all the while not breaking eye contact with him. Dwight is clearly left shaken and horrified at being one-upped, especially since it sets off a chain reaction of vomiting all around him. One suspects that they were a little more accommodating of Pam from that moment on.

* In “Last Day in Florida”, Jim learns that Dwight, who believes he is getting a huge promotion, is in fact being set up as a scapegoat for Sabre to publicly fire. Not wanting to see his friend get humiliated, he ''tackles'' Dwight and fights him outside the conference room long enough for mutual enemy Todd Packer to take the fall, with Robert California (when Todd tries to pin the blame on Dwight) telling him that Dwight was smart enough to avoid the meeting and the blame and Todd is fired. Dwight, realizing what Jim did, walks up to him, helps him off the ground, and even offers to buy Jim a drink in thanks.

** In the same episode we have Andy, the outgoing WASPy type and Oscar, the serious gay Latino. Everything suggests that they are polar opposites that would never socially connect. Then Andy makes a genuine and excited (if awkward) attempt to hook Oscar up with two guys in a bar and Oscar tries to give Andy the (drunken) confidence to man up with Angela. Neither works out, but the two genuinely bond with each other and acknowledge that they enjoy each other's company and friendship.
