Added DiffLines:

In an effort to take their relationship to the next level, Michael helps Holly conduct the office's ethics training seminar. However, when Michael offers "immunity" so that people will talk about their ethics violations, Meredith ends up revealing that she's sleeping with a supplier in return for discounts. Unwilling to fire Meredith, Michael tries to convince Holly to let it go. Meanwhile, when Dwight insists that he doesn't ever waste company time, Jim starts recording all the time that Dwight spends not working to prove him wrong.
