Episode 99 - Double Date
Michael proves himself to Pam as a suitable partner for her mother, mere moments before breaking up with her. Michael Zampino is back as we dive into Double Date, and find it to be one of our favorite episodes of the season, despite an absolutely horrendous B-plot. Great moments from the supporting cast and a cool way to tie the two plots together make this one of the more interesting episodes we've seen in Season 6.
Episode 98 - Koi Pond
Did you know a koi cost $300? Michael and the rest of the office do after a curious incident during a business call. I mean, it's not kiss your co-worker pregnant belly curious, but we'll get there, too. It's a weird one, but can we expect anything less as we move through Season 6?

Episode 96 - Mafia
Something feels off this episode. Josh Boltz is back, so that can't be it. He and Brian and Hilton check out the episode Mafia, and struggle to enjoy it, despite so many great character moments. It's clearly an episode that left a mark on culture, so why isn't it sitting right with out crew?
Episode 94 - The Promotion
Thank God for Creed! He saved what was a less than perfect episode. Michael and Jim are butting heads as Jim settles into his role as co-manager, so co-hosts Brian and Hilton (and co-guest Josh) are dissecting the ins and outs of this complex and not very funny episode. Is it still one to watch? I mean, yeah.
Episode 93 - The Meeting
Josh Boltz is back this week as we dip into Episode 2 of Season 6, The Meeting! Despite having three plotlines and a lot of character moments, we don't love this episode, just like Michael doesn't love meetings he isn't invited to!
