* In Christmas Party, Micheal's barely hidden contempt for Phyllis' hand-crafted gift is hard to watch, with Phyllis at several points looking like she's holding back the urge to cry. In addition, for all her coldness and haughtiness, it's hard not to feel sorry for Angela as her carefully planned party is completely ruined, especially when she breaks down in tears in one talking head and is reduced to screaming in impotent rage after seeing Kelly attempt to seduce her secret lover Dwight.

* Certainly doubles as a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}, but Michael showing up for Pam's art show at the last minute, after (almost) everyone else from the office failed to come (including Jim). It's a TearJerker in-universe as well.

* On rewatching the show, the ending of "Money", a genuinely nice moment in which Jan thanks Michael for being the only one who never turned his back on her, promising to stay by his side and finishing with the question "So, where is this train taking us?", becomes this, since it won't be long before their relationship quickly and spectacularly crashes and burns.

* Michael in all off "A Benihana Christmas." It's pretty clear that he does not know how to cope with Carol's breakup at all, with his half assed attempt at getting the Benihana waitress to go with him to Jamaica being more pathetic than cute. All of his actions reek of sheer desperation as he struggles to get over Carol. Anyone who went through a breakup or rough patch, especially during the holidays, can empathize with him.

** On the plus side, his handling of the situation - subtly trapping Dwight with his car - shows he's at least grown somewhat and that his therapy actually ''took''; it could have gone much, much worse.

* The cold open for "Casual Friday" has Kevin bringing in a huge pot of chili to share with everyone, lugging it upstairs since the elevator's out of order... and then he drops it. The look of stunned disbelief on his face, followed by him frantically grabbing a clipboard to try and scoop it back in, is almost ''painful'' to watch. Kevin's narration, where he says it's his own special family recipe and how proud he is of it, doesn't help at all.

* In "Initiation" Dwight takes Ryan on his first sales call, which unfortunately involves a bunch of bizarre/traumatising tasks that eventually cause Ryan to leave. Dwight picks him up and apologises, confiding in him that he didn't get along with Jim and he had hoped things would be different. Dwight actually seems to realise that he was out of line in his actions and offers a genuine apology, he comes across as very lonely in this scene.

*** That inaudible exchange between them? According to Jenna Fischer, that was her saying goodbye to Steve Carell out of character. What's more, Fischer has also shared that she wished the scene didn't have to end and kept holding onto Carell because ''she didn't want to let him go''. Hey, who placed a bowl of onions in here?

** Steve Carell's departure was also a major tear jerker for the ''cast''. Several of them have said that the actor's last week of shooting was basically one big, long sob fest.

* Pam gets racked over the coals in the finale during the Fan Q&A. Everyone who has questions for her judges her and scolds her for ever doubting Jim. Add in her own concerns about forcing Jim to give up his dream job and Pam is left utterly miserable and feeling like the worst wife in the world.
