Synopsis
Template:Spoiler In the second-season finale, the Dunder Mifflin warehouse is converted into a full-blown gambling hall for the Scranton Business Park's Casino Night. Jim proves to Dwight that he has telekinesis (with help from Pam). Michael invites Jan in a phone call. Afterwards, he announces to the office that the employee with the highest chip count will get a mini-fridge to donate $500 to the charity of their choice. Jim and Pam set out to watch horrible band demo tapes for Pam's wedding. Jim explains to us that he met with Jan about the sales position in Stamford because he "has no future here."
Among the tapes, the two spot a Police cover band called Scrantonicity, in which Kevin is the drummer. Jim is all for this choice but Pam is embarrassed about it and prevents him from asking Kevin. Michael's real-estate agent Carol calls to set up an appointment to sign his final papers and he asks her to come to the festivities. In the middle of the call, Michael takes a call from Jan, who states she is accepting his invitation. When he returns to Carol's call, she also accepts his invitation. Michael has "two queens" for the Casino Night.
Carol arrives at the warehouse. Dwight states he's in charge of keeping Jan away from Carol. Creed reveals he's a kleptomaniac, stealing chips, money and various items at work and the Casino Night. Michael loses all of his money to Toby early in Texas Hold 'Em. Jan arrives and tells Michael she's okay with Carol. Dwight wins at Craps and kisses Angela on the cheek. She slaps him and walks away with a grin on her face (Dwight has a smirk, too). Jim tries to check to see if Pam is bluffing in Poker, which she isn't. Jan and Carol share an awkward conversation, to which Jan tries to make their first date look bad.
Kevin loses to Phyllis in poker. Roy approaches him and approves him for the wedding. Jan and Jim share a scene outside, where she laments ever hooking up with Michael. She asks him if he's thought about the transfer, which he says he has. Jan suggests that he talk to someone in the office about it. Creed ends up winning the mini-fridge.
Roy leaves the party early and Jim approaches Pam. He tells her straight out that he's in love with her. She asks why, to which he replies that he wanted her to know for once. After a stunned pause, she states she can't and she's sorry he misinterpreted their friendship. Tearing up, he states he's sorry he misinterpreted their friendship, too. Jan leaves the party bitterly and Michael is pleased "the hero got the girl". Pam calls her mom to tell her about what just happened with Jim, explaining she doesn't know what to do. When he arrives in the room, she ends the phone conversation. He approaches her. Before she says anything, Jim kisses her deeply on the lips. They look at each other and the episode ends.
Trivia
- During the editing of this episode, producer Greg Daniels publicly addressed NBC in an interview, stating "I’d like to get a supersized episode, because it’s a really long script with a lot of good stuff." In response, fans of the show set up an online petition to "supersize" the season finale. The website generated over 2,800 signatures. On April 20, NBC announced it would be extending the season finale by ten minutes. However, it should be noted that they also presented expanded episodes of Will & Grace and My Name Is Earl on the same night, so it is unclear whether the petition actually had any influence in their decision.
