Andy-Erin Relationship

"You're the nicest person I've ever met."

Season 5
When Erin replaces Pam as receptionist in "The Michael Scott Paper Company," both Dwight and Andy begin to vie for her affection. Using their instruments against each other in a friendly sing-off of "Take Me Home, Country Roads" to impress her. Soon, Dwight withdraws from the contest, respecting his friendship with Andy.



Season 6
In "Murder", Andy asks Erin out after waiting a while for her to ask him out. But because the whole office is in the midst of a roleplaying game set up by Michael, there is a miscommunication and the date is called off.

In "Secret Santa", Andy begs to get Erin for Secret Santa, and his pleas are obliged to. Andy literally gives Erin the Twelve Days of Christmas, but after getting harassed by all of Andy's animals, Erin gets steamed and is tense towards Andy after he reveals that he was the cause of the events. However, Andy recovers by being in a marching band that puts on a little show for Erin in the parking lot.

In "The Delivery", Michael starts to set up couples in the office, after being thrilled that Jim and Pam ended up together under his management. Erin gets hooked up with Kevin, who she is not remotely interested in, but politely goes to lunch with him, before breaking up. When she returns to reception, Andy gives her a fax, asking her out on a date. When Andy gets confrontational, almost bringing Erin to tears, he admits what he is doing, and Erin accepts the date.

Erin and Andy go on their first date in "St. Patrick's Day" and Erin's foster brother, Reed, sits with Erin in a way that makes him appear to be her lover. At the end, though, Andy is relieved when Erin gives him a kiss on the cheek.

Erin accompanies Andy to a landfill in search of leads that were accidentally thrown away. There, they share their first kiss ("New Leads").

Andy's aversion to drama in "Happy Hour" causes him and Erin to be secretive about their relationship. By doing this, though, it turns out to create more drama than expected, and the two just don't have fun. Andy realizes his mistake and announces to the whole bar that he's going out with Erin.

In "Secretary's Day", Erin goes out for lunch with Michael, who reveals Andy's previous relationship with Angela Martin. The effect is a disaster; Erin hurls a hunk of cake at Andy's face when she returns to the office, and the two break up.

Season 7
Erin admits that over the summer, she was asked out by Gabe Lewis, and accepted, only because he was her superior. Erin describes it as "Boring," but she keeps it going.

Gabe sends Erin on a Valentine's Day scavenger hunt, where each solution to a puzzle links to the next clue. Erin turns out to be horrid at puzzles, and asks Andy for help. Andy is hesitant, but Erin persists by saying that "It won't be weird," and explains that she has her boyfriend and Andy has his girlfriend, Jessica. Andy and Erin bond throughout the course of the puzzle, and Andy seems a bit sad when it ends. ("PDA")

In "Michael's Last Dundies", Erin is no longer attracted to Gabe and seeks advice from Pam, who tells her to end it quickly and be honest. Erin takes this a bit too far and coldly tells Gabe that they should break up in front of everyone from the office plus bystanders.

In "Dwight K. Schrute, (Acting) Manager", Gabe pulls Andy aside into the conference room after spotting him joking around with Erin and breaks down, telling Andy to not date her. Andy promises he won't date Erin for his sake, but Gabe isn't convinced and confronts Andy. Andy isn't definite with his answer if he wants to date Erin or not, and leaves a confused crowd.

Season 8
Erin is forced to meet Andy's girlfriend Jessica in "Christmas Wishes". She is overly friendly, but then her true intentions are revealed when she gets drunk and wishes Jessica dead.

In "Pool Party", Andy brings Jessica to Robert California's home. Erin tries to make Andy jealous by pretending to be interested in Dwight, but Andy doesn't seem to care.

Erin is enlisted for the Florida project, and plans to stay there after she meets an elderly woman called Irene, who invites her to help her around the house. Andy finds out and realizes that he truly loves Erin, and drives to Florida. Erin refuses to come back with him, but finally sees the sense in it and runs down the street after Andy's car.

Season 9
In "The Boat", Andy plans to sail to the Bahamas. Erin is hoping for him to offer her a place on his boat, but he never brings it up, and sails away after giving Erin a hearty goodbye.

As Andy sails through the waters of the Atlantic, Pete Miller shows interest in Erin, and it seems to be mutual. Erin tries to break up with Andy when he returns, but Andy talks her out of it, and naïve Erin can't fight back. Erin tells Pete in the parking lot, and he says, "I just want you to be happy." Erin finds this touching and kisses him full on the lips before breaking up with Andy more forcefully.
