Summary

This week we’re breaking down the first part of Lecture Circuit! To help improve sales across all Dunder Mifflin branches, Michael and Pam travel to different branches and attempt to give lectures. Meanwhile, Jim and Dwight have taken over the Party Planning Committee and do their best to make Kelly happy after forgetting her birthday. The ladies talk precision driving vs fakey driving, Jenna points out suitcase acting and Angela does a deep dive on the candy, Mounds Bars. This ep is so good, you’re going to half-heartedly throw candy in the air and drone, “It is your birthday.”
