* WhatTheHellHero: NOBODY lets Dwight off the hook for firing a gun in the office. To keep them from telling Jo, Dwight agrees to their blackmail terms at first until it becomes too much for him and he decides to come clean to Jo, hoping that claiming penitence will be sufficient.

* DumbassHasAPoint: When Dwight is gloating about how he has a meeting with Jo to everyone, Erin excitedly asks what the meeting's about. Dwight rather pompously informs her that the meeting is on a "need-to-know" basis... at which point Erin points out that she actually ''does'' need to know, since she's responsible for managing his calendar.
