When we look back at previous seasons of The Office they just concentrated on just one romantic affair in the American Workplace, but in season 4 the writers threw a little twist in, as a number of other characters were also involved. In the season 4 finale of The Office there were a huge amount of significant story developments, it seems as if the writers of the show wanted to set themselves up for a great start to season five. I would love to work in an office like that, as there were so many personal events going on in just one day.
The main story behind the last episode of season four is that it is Toby Flenderson’s last day before he heads of to Costa Rica, he has had enough with working in the office and he is also finding it hard to leave with the big crush that he has on Pam. As it is Toby’s last day his nemesis Michael Scott is so happy that he does his bit for the planned party, he even gives those extra cash for the party. Amy Ryan guest stars in this episode and plays Holly, she is the new HR person is set to take Toby’s place, as it is his last day he has to show Holly around. Michael as always wants to hate Holly from the start, but Holly has a strange effect on people and everyone likes her immediately. It seems that Michael has taken to her in a big way as he falls in love with Holly.
Things just get funnier as the episode goes on; this is a solid finale to season 4.
