So reality finally kicks in. A surprisingly somber occasion for The Office, ‘Murder’ starts an interesting chain of events for Dunder Mifflin and all its employees.
Bankruptcy
No need to elaborate on the idea. What is interesting is that the episode decides to introduce a major storyline that puts everyone in jeopardy and actually leaves it at a cliffhanger. Most likely, this is done for realism, but it’s still quite rattling to leave the fate of the entire office up in the air. Ultimately, the one to real feel sorry for is Michael, who has more to lose than anyone else. Seeing him become more and more manic is actually quite saddening because the few moments where the southern facade fades are where we see the real terror in the situation.
Erin and Andy
Another surprise in the episode is the incredible chemistry between Erin and Andy. Their little moments bring back memories from the earlier seasons where Jim and Pam are still shy. So far, this new development is quite entertaining to watch.
If there’s ever been a reason to care about Dunder Mifflin, now would be it. With a sizable cliffhanger, ‘Murder’ definitely does the trick to bring me back next week for more of The Office.
