Synopsis
It’s Toby’s goodbye party at Dunder Mifflin and Michael demands a huge celebration that matches the joy in his heart. Angela, sick of Michael’s unreasonable last minute demands, refuses, and Michael turns to Phyllis to take over the party planning committee. Meanwhile, Dwight and Meredith haze the new HR woman, Holly. One-hour long.
Trivia
Amusing details
- Not only is Holly's first name that of a plant, so is her last name (Flax).
- When Toby returns with a camera to take a picture with Pam, it's not a cheap disposable camera but an expensive SLR camera.
- Holly's final talking head interview begins with "It was a good day." This phrase has been used by Jim (Diversity Day) and Pam (Michael's Birthday) in talking head interviews at the end of days that were personally meaningful to them.
