Goodbye Toby review

This episode opened with a classic Jim-teases-Dwight sequence and the rest of the episode seemed to draw more from the UK origin of the series. More focus was on character beats and story rather than jokes and outright gags. Download it here.

In a nutshell, I’d say that day was a pretty sad for Scranton bunch employees. Okay, first of all, Dwight was seeing Angela but later agrees to marry Candy. Oh! Poor Jim as Andy steales his plan to propose Pam. Toby, a brokenhearted man is in his quest to have a few pictures with Pam before he goes and leaves everything behind. Yeah, we got that Ryan has been arrested for fraud.

Okay, it’s Michael now; he really has developed into one of the extremely fascinating and enduring characters on TV. He is, first and foremost, insufferable. He’s a dreadful and horribly selfish boss and yeah of course a socially retarded man-cum-child. Michael gets excited about Holly, the new HR rep.

Dwight and Meredith harass Holly. A terrific addition was made to the cast and that was Amy Ryan who brought uniqueness to the character. Michael plans a huge goodbye party. Angela refuses to help so Michael turns to Phyllis. Here’s my best pick of the episode:

Holly: Hi.
Kevin: Hi.
Holly: What do you do?
Kevin: I do the numbers.
Holly: Oh, good for you.

(After proposing to Angela)
Andy: Mr. Andrew Bernard—got a nice ring to it.

This was the season 4 finale, which left some interesting threads that will be picked up in the next season. I‘d say that each character has ended in a way where lot of questions are to be answered. What do you say?
