* WhatTheHellHero: When Jim is finally cornered and asked to be straight about Robert not wanting his wife to work at Dunder Mifflin, Jim gives his non-answer by stating that he doesn't understand why this is a conversation in the first place, because he personally loves working alongside his wife and misses her dearly while she's on maternity leave. This clearly gives Robert pause and he finally ushers him and Andy out to (presumably) be straight with his wife.
