Recap / The Office USS 9 E 2 Roys Wedding

Go To

Pam's ex-fiance, Roy, marries and invites her to the wedding. She and Jim fear that their relationship has gone stale and they know everything there is to know about each other.

Clark wants to get Erin to take an audition to join news cast, in an attempt to seduce her, but both Erin and Andy fall for it.

Nellie and Dwight have a fight when he refuses to fill a form she needs for a charity event and they try to live through Taliban law to prove their point.


Tropes

  • Bait-and-Switch: Andy clarifies with Erin that Clark wants her to go to his apartment and let him film her wearing different outfits, and then swiftly goes to confront Clark at his desk... to ask him what kind of clothes Erin will need for a news audition.
  • Continuity Nod: Pam's past relationship with Roy is mentioned several times, especially by Jim who finds the idea of going to a wedding for his wife's ex-fiancee to be extremely weird.
  • Gone Horribly Right: Clark's news audition scheme to seduce Erin works way too well. It also tricks Andy, who gets himself involved and ultimately screws up the plan by showing up to help Erin with the "audition".
  • Hidden Depths: Roy surprises his newly-wedded wife (as well as Jim and Pam) by revealing that he had secretly been taking piano lessons, and plays a romantic song for her.
  • It's All About Me: Andy ends up making Erin's news audition all about him and insists upon filming more takes focused on himself getting the part right (even though he's not the one supposedly auditioning). He even brushes aside Erin and tells Pete to take her out to dinner so he can keep working, which becomes the start to Erin and Pete getting to know each other better.
  • Never Trust a Title: Roy's wedding is only a small part of the episode, and largely unimportant by itself. The impression it makes on Jim and Pam and how they see their marriage is more important.
  • Only Sane Man: Pete is the only one that sees through Clark's attempt to seduce Erin and fumbles that.
  • Shout-Out: Invoked. Andy asked Darryl to his office and wants him to close the door in a manner that resembles a similar scene from The Godfather.
  • Those Two Guys: Defied. Although Clark and Pete are constantly lumped together, Pete has come to find Clark detestable and asserts to the camera crew that the two of them are not friends.
