Agree entirely.

I have been watching through the series, and this episode was a perfect example of the opposite of fanservice, it was fan disservice. Producers of shows will often have an episode like this, where they think it's funny to shed misery upon the protagonist, but when done too seriously with a serious plot, it then becomes nothing but disappointment.

Any fan is expecting a classic Michael Scott solution to solve the kids' tutition needs, and instead the writers failed to bring the moment of levity that would have made the episode great. To make it worse, the prior episode also failed to have Michael and Oscar succeed in saving Dunder Mifflin, and it was a moment Oscar fans wanted and never received.
