Finally, we get our conclusion of the exhaustive love triangle between Andy, Angela, and Dwight. But first, we find out that Andy is still oblivious to everything. That is till Michael discovers this. He can’t have it, and as he’s literally driving away from the office to see David Wallace for a meeting about his managerial skills, he blurts it out to a confused Andy. Instead of exploding like everyone thought Andy would, he becomes very collected and confronts Angela like a normal adult. Angela admits to sleeping with Dwight, but strangely still wants to marry Andy. And that’s enough for Andy to confront Dwight and inform him that it’s over. Unfortunately, it’s not that easy. Dwight refuses to give up Angela, and let’s be honest, Angela has no real intention of giving up Dwight either.

Meanwhile, Jim is forced to act that mediator, since Michael is in New York being questioned by David Wallace. What about? Even in these hard economic times, the Scranton branch is still succeeding in turning a profit. They actually have the best sales. So, David makes it his goal to accommodate Michael in any way in order to squeeze out any bit of information. Easier said than done. This story goes nowhere, but it’s pretty hilarious watching David struggle to get any sort of advice or information from Michael.

Back to Jim. One of his biggest flaws is his fear of confrontation. He’s passive aggressive, clever, and condescending, but when someone gets in his face or there’s a threat of violence, his immediate reaction is to freeze up like a deer in headlights. For the time being, he takes a backseat, mostly, and lets things play out. Good thing to, because we’re served up with the greatest challenge to a duel of all time. One that can only be achieved with a high five.

Angela, being in a situation where not only one man surprisingly wants her, but two, allows the duel to occur and will accept the results. Jim quickly rounds up all of Dwight’s hidden weapons – an arsenal that would make Deadpool jealous. Look it up. However, Dwight is resourceful and he strides valiantly to the parking lot with belt in hand, flailing it around like nunchaku. Andy is nowhere to be seen. There’s a letter on the nearby bushes. While Dwight is reading it, Andy surprise attacks him with his Prius, lodging Dwight’s foot between the car and the parking median. They proceed to argue with one another while the rest of the office watches from upstairs, far from “danger.” Angela is gobbling it up from a distance.

Then, an interesting thing occurs. Andy breaks down a little and questions everything about Angela’s choices. How could she do this to him? How could she be sleeping with Dwight this entire time and only have sex with Andy twice. Wait, what? They’ve had sex? Dwight is as confused as us. More importantly, he has been lied to. This is much worse than euthanizing a cat or deceiving someone with a fake-fake marriage.

And so Angela’s juggling falls apart. Neither of them want her. Least of all, Dwight, who makes the strongest gesture he can.

This episode was very surprising. The love triangle had been going on far too long and I didn’t think that any sort of climax or explosion on Andy’s part could have made up for it. And while this situation has occurs many times in many sitcoms, the fallout was different and refreshing. And nothing could have made a bigger impact than the desecration of the ultimate icon of Dwight and Angela’s love – a bobble-head in his image.
