Recap / The Office USS 5 E 5 Crime Aid

Go To

Michael and Holly get an early start on date night and have sex in the office. They forget to lock the door when they leave and come to work the next morning to find that the office has been robbed. Feeling guilty, they organize an auction to recoup the losses.

  • Oh, Crap!:
    • Michael and Holly when they realize that they forgot to lock the door, leading to the break-in.
    • Jim is immediately on edge when he realizes that Roy is joining the warehouse crew at the bar. Luckily, Roy has let bygones be bygones and no drama ensues.
