Added DiffLines:

* CallBack: Stanley [[Recap/TheOfficeUSS2E18TakeYourDaughterToWorkDay once again]] yells at someone sniffing around someone he brings to the office. Of course this time, it's a legal adult he's not related to, so he quickly stops caring.


Added DiffLines:

* ElephantInTheLivingRoom: Defied by Micheal, much to everyone's annoyance, as he ''keeps bringing up'' how Karen is Jim's ex-lover no matter how much others try to diplomatically skirt around it.


Added DiffLines:

* ForgottenBirthday: The new "Party Planning Committee" (an extremely reluctant Jim and Dwight) start off by forgetting Kelly's birthday. She's very unhappy about it.


Added DiffLines:

* MomentKiller: A non-romantic version. Pam meets Karen again and is happy to hear she found love after Jim, with the two of them finally burying the hatchet. Then Micheal interrupts to give a melodramatic monologue about old hatreds turning into new friendships, leaving the two women in awkward silence again.

* SmallNameBigEgo: Kelly's big moment of this.
-->'''Kelly''': My birthday was yesterday, and everybody forgot. I got really dressed up and excited, and no one said a word. There wasn’t even a party. I think sometimes people are really mean to the hot, popular girl.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: Michael is in rare form for this throughout the episode. He makes crude comments about Karen's pregnancy, and also annoys Pam by implying that Jim might be the father. He also reveals his mnemonic device to remember people's names: pick out something about their looks, then come up with a long trail of connections to the first letter of their first name.
