## Summary

### Before the Work Day

Episode Two begins with **Mike** leaving the Office wear the iconic tortilla brown hat. As he leaves, he remarks, "Crazy day." The camera pans to show the end of the hallway, wear Martha pokes her head out from around a corner, and motions behind her. She then proceeds to march through the hallway towards the entrance of the Office, followed closely by Doug, then **Tom** (played by Bryan), then Molly, then **Peter** (played by Jack). Notably, Episode Two is the only episode in which Martha does not wake up in the Office. This is presumably because she had forgotten to hide herself and was forced to flee at Mike's arrival.

Martha is then seen attempting to tape a barrier over the open doorway, which Doug swiftly knocks aside and enters. Tom then enters, scanning his shoe over the outlet; followed by Molly who gives the outlet a kiss; followed by Peter who scans his face on the outlet. Peter is wearing the iconic tortilla brown hat. The five of them strike a pose.

### During the Work Day

Early in the day, Martha is once more crowned boss and begins a meeting, informing them that they had made six sales that morning. Tom gets a call and informs the other workers that they will be getting new interns that day, to which the workers respond by screaming.

There is a knock at the door, and interns **Kate**, **Jacob**, and **Tim** enter, sending the workers into a panic. Martha calms everyone down and gives the interns their **stamps**. Molly attempts to feed Tim, but he is reluctant. The interns sit down at the meeting and Tom gives them their paperwork. Tim looks at pictures of cool cars. Martha then begins asking them the questions for interns, during which Kate eats and throws up the paperwork, causing her to get a strike (of which there is only one, which she doesn't know); and Jacob has his juice revelation.

Molly and Martha have a chat by the water fountain, where Martha reveals that she plans to fire Doug because he smells and replace him with Tim, though both she and Molly reiterate how hot Doug is. Martha interrupts Doug as he plays piano and announces to him and the entire company that he has been fired, whereupon Doug immediately casts a **spell**. Martha passes out, and in the next scene voices joy that Doug has been removed while Doug sits in front of her.

Kate then has a revelation, where win all members of the Office place their hands on her forehead, she shouts "TAPEWORM!" The workers celebrate while Martha writes the revelation on the whiteboard. Molly announces that it is naptime. As they nap, Tim steals the great purple thumbtack from the board. Peter wakes up first and notices the pin is missing, which he announces to other workers. They immediately erupt into chaos, running to the board and search. They hold an emergency meeting, where the workers all accuse each other of stealing it. They eventually settle on Tim, and they begin advancing on him, calling into question whether or not he is truly an intern. To escape the situation, Tim throws the pin, causing all of the workers to run after it and stand in a circle around it. As they are entranced by the pushpin, Tim leaves.

### End of the Day

As guitars play from the open doorway, Tom announces that he must leave to pick his mother up from the dentist. Jacob's mother calls him back to Kentuckyville, his home town, and leaves. Kate dons the bouquet of yellow flowers, and flees to the corner of the Office. Peter, Molly, and Doug, in that order, run from the Office. Martha lays down on her table, and she and Kate go to sleep.

Mike enters the next day, sees both Martha and Kate, and remarks, "Oh good, there are two now." He wishes them a good morning, seemingly having found contentment and closure in his situation, concluding his arch. This is Mike's last appearance. The last frame of the episode is a tribute to Miss Piggy, the sacrificial lamb of **The Office Life Cinematic Universe**.
