Season: 2

It’s time for the “Dundies,” Dunder Mifflin’s annual awards banquet (held at the neighborhood Chili’s), and the staff must endure the excruciating performance of their inept emcee, boss Michael Scott.

As Kevin and the rest of the crew worry about Kevin’s medical test results to see whether or not he has skin cancer, Michael gets angry because no one seems to have fun at the birthday party he threw for himself. Later, Michael takes everyone out to the skating rink to get their minds off of Kevin’s possible complications, and Pam and Jim go to the supermarket to pick up some presents for Kevin.

When Michael burns his foot with his George Foreman mini-grill, he requires the entire office staff to work around his new injury. When the workers aren’t so keen on obliging, Michael gets angry and calls in a man in a wheelchair to put out the message that disabled people are people too. Meanwhile, Dwight acts stranger than usual, acting really nice and helpful towards Pam. It isn’t until the end of the day when everyone realizes that the car accident Dwight was in earlier that day gave him a concussion (but was overshadowed by Michael’s dramatization of his own burn), and Jim and Michael immediately take him to the hospital. Needless to say, Michael doesn’t appreciate the extra attention that the doctors and nurses pay Dwight.

A routine office day is changed when children come to Dunder Mifflin for “Take Your Daughter to Work Day.” Michael is surprised when he strikes up a friendship with the five-year old daughter of his sworn enemy, Toby. Pam is desperate to befriend her colleagues’ offspring and a misunderstanding puts Ryan under Stanley’s thumb

Dwight must confront his fear of public speaking when he is named Dunder-Mifflin’s Salesman of the Year. To prepare for a big convention where he is set to give a speech, Dwight turns to Michael to guide him in his quest to conquer the fear. Meanwhile, Pam gets wrapped up with wedding plans, but Jim has plans of a different sort: an escape route out of Dunder-Mifflin and Scranton, at least for long enough so that he doesn’t have to witness Pam’s wedding. While all of this is happening, the staffers battle it out over control of the thermostat.

Michael takes the entire Dunder-Mifflin staff on a motivational cruise aboard a party boat on Lake Wallenpaupack, but his planned presentation is bogged down by numerous distractions, including a dance contest, limbo, snorkel shots, and the pushy Captain Jack. Also, Jim and Katy’s relationship hits the rocks as Roy and Pam finally set a wedding date, which does more than disappoint Jim, and by the end of the night, Michael’s motivational cruise doesn’t go completely to waste when he shares a heart-to-heart with one of the workers.

The Dunder-Mifflin staffers join in kindergarten-like festivities for Valentine’s Day while Michael heads to New York City for a conference with the corporate heads. After showing the documenters a tour of his favorite city, Michael accidentally lets slip to the others at the conference that he and Jan hooked up, and he finds himself in hot water when Jan and the new CFO of Dunder-Mifflin hear the story. Back in Scranton, Pam becomes irked when she discovers that Roy hasn’t gotten her anything for Valentine’s Day, Dwight struggles to find a gift for Angela, and Kelley talks off Jim’s ear about her rather desperate affections for Ryan, who is less than interested.

Jan holds a “Women in the Workplace” seminar at Dunder-Mifflin for the paper company’s female employees. Michael, feeling more than a bit left out, decides to have his own “seminar” when he takes the male workers down to the warehouse.
