Synopsis

Dwight receives an instant message from David Wallace telling him that Stone & Son just lost their paper provider. Dwight decides to call Jim in to help him. He reflects on all the good times he and Jim had pretending to be brothers in order to better appeal to family owned businesses. However Jim is unable to help as he is in Philadelphia. Jim suggests that Dwight take Phyllis to pretend to be his sister however Dwight refuses citing Phyllis as more likely to play his "great great grandmother who died of stupidity" to which Phyllis remarks that she heard that. Dwight tells Jim that if he drive 240 mph he could make it to Scranton just in time for the meeting. Jim then asks how long it would take if he drove 300 mph and proceeds to hang up while Dwight is calculating it. Dwight is embarrassed and pretends to finish his conversation by thanking Jim for saying he is better than him. He accidentally says "love you" at the end however to which everyone looks at him. Dwight hangs up, clearly embarrassed.

Darryl is going to Philadelphia to interview for a position at Jim's company. When Pam tells him to tell Jim "hi", Darryl suggests that she come along. Pam realizes that there would be no consequences of her leaving work as Andy is not around. On the way out, she tells Erin to receive a pen delivery that she was expecting. Erin becomes worried as she is not sure what to do when the pens arrive.

Clark returns to his job after a road trip with Jan. He says he left as sex with Jan was not getting as good. He leaves a gift from her, an espresso machine, on the reception desk before heading back to the annex. The office staff become interested in it and all decide to try it.

Dwight goes back to the annex and welcomes Clark back before offering him the chance to play his son at the sales pitch. Clark agrees as he is interested in one day being a salesman.

Darryl admits he is nervous and about Philadelphia and told Jim and Pam he needs the job to pay for treatment for his daughter with Borderline personality disorder.

Dwight and Clark arrive and begin to pretend to be father and son however they overdo the father-son relation part as they both heavily compliment and making extreme sexual remakes implying incest (very explicit).

The office staff all begin to try the multiple flavors of espresso and realize that there are so many flavors to try. They all decide to try each one. They all stand in a circle, put their hand in the center, and agree to try them all. But after an hour Kevin throws up on Erin. She is later showed aggressively cleaning her dress.

When Darryl and Pam arrive at Jim's company, Darryl becomes nervous when he see's what a prosperous and serious business it is.

While Clark is gone, the father reveals to Dwight that he and his son really don't have a very good relationship causing Dwight to realize he has to pretend that he and Clark also have that relationship. When Clark returns, he begins to criticize Clark and try to argue however Clark doesn't understand. He finally gets it and they begin to argue.

The people back at the office soon begin to try many of the different espresso flavors and soon become very caffeinated and energized. Erin begins to worry as she is not sure whether to unpack the pens or not.

During the interview, Darryl makes a bad joke and is not sure how to answer the question of why he would be a good fit for the company. Darryl apologizes and admits he is a warehouse manager and is not qualified to work at the company. The people interviewing him however admit that they all have jobs that do not relate to their current jobs at all including Jim. Darryl feels better and they all decide to start the interview over, this time, Darryl making a better joke.

As Dwight and Clark continue to insult one another, the client's son comes in. It is revealed that he is the boss and that his father mainly is in the job for the human companionship. With the son now being the one to decide whether to buy from them or not, Clark takes the lead. He makes a joke about Dwight's suit however Clark does not have one himself. He convinces Dwight to buy him a suit to which Dwight approves of and decides to buy one himself.

Pam talks to the receptionist and is happy when the receptionist says that Jim talks about her all the time. Pam however becomes worried when the receptionist makes a comment about them moving to Philadelphia.

The office staff, becoming very energized, become very productive. They decide to use their energy to move the copier to the annex like they always wanted to do however as they do so, they accidentally tear up the carpet. Oscar notices that the floor beneath the carpet is hard wood and they decide to tear up the entire carpet to which they agree to do.

Darryl does very well in the interview however he decides to make an interesting move and shoot a basketball into a basketball hoop on one of the walls. He shoots it, however it bounces off the rim and slams into the light fixture on a fish tank causing it to fall it and electrocute the fish killing them all, much to the horror of everyone in the room and Darryl.

As everyone works, they all begin to get angry and yell at each other. Stanley notices that its 5 o' clock and they all attempt to leave at the same time leading to a traffic jam in the parking lot.

Darryl waits with Pam near the receptionist desk looking horrified. Pam tries to make Darryl feel better but does not succeed. She tries to remind Darryl that Philadelphia is not the greatest city on earth, and that he would only be able to see his daughter on weekends. Darryl realizes this and suddenly realizes that this is true and that he still has a great job in Scranton. He becomes confident he can live without the job. Jim comes out of the room and tells Darryl they will make him pay for the fish- and that he has gotten the job. Darryl becomes excited and hugs Jim and picks him up. Pam however looks worried, still not sure about wanting to move to Philadelphia.

Dwight and Clark leave with their new suits, having made the sale. Dwight realizes that he and Clark form a good team.

Darryl and Pam arrive back at the office to find it messy and bits of the carpet torn up. As Erin comes out of the annex she tells Pam that "the pens happened" before leaving. Darryl and Pam look around the office confused.
