* Dwight suffers from appendicitis in "Tallahassee" and needs to be taken away to have an operation. He returns to the meeting to do his team's presentation after only 3 hours at the hospital and with very little knowledge on the direction of the presentation. [[RealityEnsues It doesn't go that well for him.]] However, Nellie is very impressed by his willpower.
* Jim not only blanking Cathy's attempts to seduce him in "After Hours" but eventually successfully scaring her out of the room by getting Dwight to blast both his bed and her with chemicals.
* Despite Ryan panicking and bailing at the last second in "Test the Store", Dwight is able to get Jim to fill in for him and presentation ends up going really well, resulting in a successful store launch.

* Andy, simply over the course of "Turf War" and "Free Family Portrait Studio" (and "Fundraiser" if you count him meeting David there), manages to take advantage of Robert's mistakes, steal Dunder Mifflin's biggest client by himself without a penny to his name and then convinces [[TheBusCameBack David Wallace]] to buy Dunder Mifflin and take over as CEO, getting Andy his job as regional manager back in the process.
** Off-screen one for David Wallace, who somehow managed to get his "Suck it" patent sold for a lot of money, putting him in a position to buy and run the company again in the first place.

* In "Traveling Salesmen", Dwight and Jim, the two archenemies, have to go on a sales trip together... and absolutely nail it with some impressive teamwork. Jim does the talking, while Dwight asks if he can use the phone, and calls another paper company. After Jim is done, the prospective client tells them he'd rather stay with the big guys. Dwight asks him how important customer service is to him, and points out that the other paper company he called - one of the big guys - is still having him wait. Jim grabs his phone, calls Dunder Mifflin and immediately gets Kelly on the phone. Dwight proceeds to tell the client how dedicated he is, but the latter has already heard enough: they have a deal.

He then walks out while FlippingTheBird. JerkAss move? Sure, but it also a [[LaserGuidedKarma karmic]] one.

** There's also the professional ease with which Jim carries out this prank, particularly with the help of Pam. Though there had been a bit of distance between Jim and Pam in the episodes before and after this, the moment Jim asks her if she's up for a prank, she is immediately ready for it and their teamwork afterwards is flawless.
** From the same episode, we see just how much Dwight does for the office once his absence sinks in. Aside from the piles of work the other employees are left with, some of which are secured by an absurd system of passwords, he went out of his way to arrange the toys on Michael's desk in a way he liked and even watered the plants.

* In "Broke", The Michael Scott Paper Company (Michael, Pam, and Ryan) is out of money due to offering such low prices to undercut Dunder-Mifflin that turning a profit is impossible. However, their tactics have caused Dunder-Mifflin to lose customers to TMSPC, forcing David Wallace to offer a buyout as DM can't afford a money loss either. As the show goes to break before the final-act negotiation, Ryan and Pam beg Michael not to do his usual backfiring methods, which seems to [[TemptingFate suggest that Michael will indeed flub this as he flubs most meetings of this nature up to this point.]] However, in one of the best displays of BunnyEarsLawyer moments ever, Michael doesn't step wrong once. While Wallace and Charles Miner try to lay out how bleak TMSPC's financial future is, Michael stands his ground and plays the same game, noting that it looks much worse for the duo if they lost what's left of DM to a fired manager and two meager salespeople, pointing out that worst case for him he just starts another company while worst for them is they both are fired and DM is STILl in the same mess they are in now. The result? Michael gets their jobs back, and in turn, Pam goes from receptionist to sales member, and as icing on the cake Michael gets Charles Miner banished from Scranton. After Wallace finally concedes and leaves the room, all three of them are in disbelief that Michael pulled it off.
