COUNSELING

Corporate assigns Michael to have counseling with Toby. Dwight vows revenge on a shop owner at the Steamtown Mall and Pam tries to change her job title.

Seeing as both this episode and the premiere were directed by the same individual, I can't help but wonder if this is actually going to be a "part two" sort of continuation from last week.  Michael and Toby in counseling has the potential to be a good time, but have the writers already wrung the Flenderson hate dry? Hopefully they'll give us a little something more than just the "Toby is the worst!" sort of material.  Pam's move to salesperson still seems completely underdeveloped, so her trying to change he job title seems a little odd.  I know several people seem to want to see her take over as manager after Michael leaves, but she hasn't been anywhere close to earning that position.  If she experiences some sort of career rebirth this season, maybe I can buy into the idea a bit more.

Episode # 98 of THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID finds Matt, Ian, and Kevin staking out their respective pee corners. Keeping it in the family? NO no. No. No no no. No no no no. Michael cheeses off his subordinates when he covertly hires his estranged nephew to be the new office assistant. The new, HORRIBLE, terrible, annoying office assistant. Maybe it's in the genes? Meanwhile, Gabe dates Erin, Creed hates Betty White, Ryan whores Wuphf, and Pam attempts to win back her husband's love by pranking Dwight. I'd normally say something incredibly pithy and clever here, but... if you'll excuse me, I believe my strawberries are ripe. Incidental music provided by Music Alley from Mevio.

NEPOTISM

The office turns against Michael when he refuses to fire the new office assistant, who has a bad attitude. Erin shows interest in another man and Andy tries to play it cool. Pam pulls an office prank on her own to impress Jim.

Well, here we are again!  I've purposely avoided any clips or spoilers for the premiere episode, so I'm going in nearly blind.  Hopefully season seven will serve as a fitting farewell to Steve Carell.  Looking forward to seeing how it plays out.
