This U.S. adaptation -- set at a paper company based in Scranton, Pa. -- has a similar documentary style to that of the Ricky Gervais-led British original. It features the Dunder-Mifflin staff, which includes characters based on roles in the British show -- and, quite possibly, people with whom you work in your office. There's Jim, the likable employee who's a bit of an every man. Jim has a thing for receptionist-turned-sales-rep Pam -- because office romances are always a good idea! There's also Dwight, the co-worker who is successful but devoid of social skills and common sense.

Michael takes Pam with him on a tour of the other branches to explain Scranton's relative success; Dwight and Jim, the new heads of the party planning committee, forget a birthday.

Michael and Pam continue their branch tour; Jim and Dwight try to fulfill their party planning duties; Angela's new cat causes a commotion.

Andy remains unaware of Angela's affair with Dwight; Michael is nervous about a corporate meeting with Wallace.

Michael meets a mysterious woman at a blood drive; Dwight and Kevin attend a "Lonely Hearts Party"; Jim and Pam have an awkward lunch with Bob and Phyllis.
