Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJenna Fischer revealed during an episode of the Office Ladies podcast that the original script had her vomiting on the bar, when she's drunk and sitting next to Jim. The Chili's personnel who were overseeing the production (as the episode took place at a Chili's location, albeit fictional) were concerned as to what repercussions that might have on their brand and filming shut down as Greg Daniels and Mindy Kaling scrambled to find an alternative to that scene - which ended up being Pam falling off the stool, and subsequently being banned from Chili's due to her disorderly behavior. The manager also explicitly clarified that Pam had been sneaking drinks and was not over served by the staff.
- GoofsThere is a moment in Chili's where Pam falls to the ground. A couple talking at a table behind Jim and Pam disappears and reappears as Jim is helping Pam up from the ground.

Featured review
When the U.S version really became the U.S version.
Throughout the first season of the show, it was desperately trying to copy the UK version when it came to the way characters acted (you could see some early Pam, Jim and Dwight scenes in season 1 where their personalities were somewhat defined) but this was the official change. You can really see the characters distance themselves from their British counterparts starting in this episode. Michael really changed starting here. He went from the cocky boss to someone who really cares about his co-workers and that change is evident starting here. The episode itself is one of my favorites, a lot of jokes and awkwardness (The good kind) and you also get some Jim and Pam scenes in here where it is clear they should be together. This is definitely a classic episode.
