* ConfusingMultipleNegatives: Michael puts up a sign using his easel that says "Don't Bother Luke" surrounded by a circle-and-slash "no" symbol. When the employees are confused, Michael erases the "Don't", then adds a new one in a slightly different place. This didn't actually make a difference, so he then adds another "no" symbol, making it "Don't Not Not Bother Luke".
Added DiffLines:
* ImmediateSelfContradiction: In a talking head, Kelly explains that she attended an executive training program and is now "really smart". Then she asks herself a hypothetical business question, and fails to answer.

* ThrowTheDogABone: Having spent the majority of the series receiving little love from his employees, spending much of this episode getting criticized by his coworkers, Gabe, and Jo for hiring and retaining Luke, having to perform Luke's job and do menial work for his employees to get them to ease up on their criticism of him, and struggle to discipline Luke until finally spanking him, Michael gets a rare moment of triumph when his coworkers commend him for disciplining Luke. While Gabe disciplines him in turn for assaulting Luke by requiring him to take some sessions with Toby under threat of termination, the Scranton branch employees invite him to demonstrate how he spanked Luke on Andy, which he gladly does.

Michael upsets the office when he ignores their pleas to fire office assistant Luke, Michael's immature nephew. Pam's attempt to prank Dwight backfires when Kevin's faulty rewiring of an elevator strands the two together. Andy grows even more upset with Gabe and Erin's relationship.
