Synopsis
Erin (Ellie Kemper) has been assigned to set up the Halloween party by Andy (Ed Helms), who wants to live up to the expectations set by Robert (James Spader). Robert arrives with his son Bert and notices that the party is more tailored to kids than adults. In response, Andy asks Angela (Angela Kinsey) and Phyllis (Phyllis Smith) to help take over and re-tailor the party, much to Erin's chagrin. Andy also tells her that he wishes to speak with her at the end of the day. Worried about the party, she asks Gabe (Zach Woods) for help, and he gives her a tape to show everyone. Unaware of the fact that the video is full of disturbing images and no story, the office staff get upset when they see that there's hidden footage of them present in the video. Andy and Robert then talk with Erin in his office regarding the incident. Erin says that she got nervous when Andy wanted to have a talk with her, and she thought he was about to fire her regarding the party. However, Andy informs her that he is dating someone, and she is shocked to hear they have been out on 31 dates so far. Erin feels dejected and leaves.
Jim (John Krasinski) and Pam (Jenna Fischer) argue whether ghosts are real after she claims to have seen one at a pub where she used to work; their argument becomes extremely heated throughout the day. Meanwhile, Dwight (Rainn Wilson) had dressed up as Sarah Kerrigan from StarCraft, but Toby (Paul Lieberstein) had taken off his wings as they had knives on them and Dwight was not allowed to bring in weapons, thus people did not know what Dwight is. Bert notices what his costume is supposed to be and the two bond over playing StarCraft all day, ignoring everyone else. Dwight also makes Bert pretend to fire Toby, for taking away his weapons, on the grounds that he is the CEO's son.
Robert, having witnessed the various discussions and arguments between some employees and aware about the fears of others, tells a horror story implementing all the fears and arguments as a way to convince them not to let fear control their lives. This inspires Jim and Pam to stop their argument and Erin to talk to Andy about her feelings.
