I still cannot comprehend how the image below could ever come to pass, but I suppose I have only mere hours to wait for an explanation.


From NBC.com:

Michael (Steve Carell) and Dwight (Rainn Wilson) decide to surprise Ryan (B.J. Novak) in New York for a night of clubbing and meet his friends. Meanwhile, the Scranton branch is upset when they find out they have to come in on a Saturday for Ryan's website project. Jim's plan to save them has unexpected results. Brian Baumgartner, Ed Helms, John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer, Paul Lieberstein, Oscar Nunez, Angela Kinsey, Phyllis Smith, Mindy Kaling, Leslie David Baker, Kate Flannery, Craig Robinson and Creed Bratton also star.

Leave your comments below, and look for Kevin and me in the TWSS CHATROOM after the show airs (Kevin's got the Pacific shift).

**WARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD**

I know we just complained about spoilers in episode #41, but since most of this info is spoiler-y without being specific, I figure it's OK.  In the latest "Ask Ausiello" column, we get three new (sort of) tidbits of information:

SPOILERS ARE IN WHITE TEXT IN THE SPACE BELOW.  TO SEE THEM, CLICK AND HOLD THE LEFT MOUSE BUTTON WHILE DRAGGING DOWNWARD.

1) One couple is getting engaged in the finale

Seems too obvious that it'd be Jim and Pam.  My money is on Dwangela, mostly because it'd make me cry if Michael and Jan got back together.

2) One cast member is leaving the show

Nothing new there, really.  We've known this since Silverman's big announcement of the spinoff.

3) When asked if Amanda Peet would be the new "boss" on the spinoff show (not sure where that rumor floated from), Ausiello replied "Y*s! C*ng*at*lati*ns!" (whatever the hell THAT means). 

So is he agreeing? Is it some secret code?  Is NBC ready to have Peet as the boss of yet another failed show on their network?

In other spoiler news, E!'s "Watch with Kristin" said that Pam was going to be revealing some "secret" before the end of the season.  I figured that it would have something to do with why she couldn't agree to the engagement (that she'd taken another job-- the DM art internship-- perhaps?).  Might tie in with the "one cast member is leaving" (sort of) cliffhanger for the season finale.
