This episode toned it down a bit. Very good script, very character-driven. Paul Lieberstein (Toby) wrote and directed the episode, and I'll need to watch it a few more times before I catch everything.
It probably didn't deliver the belly laughs most wanted, and I suspect most regular viewers will consider it a bust, but for me it was a welcome relief. It actually brought to mind (slightly) the more dour tone of the original (British) show.
Dwight and Angela's relationship is more compelling on the rocks.
Next episode returns the show to the half-hour format.
