In his office, Carol holds up a Christmas card that shows her, her two kids, and Michael on a ski trip together. Which is odd, because Michael wasn't on that trip; Carol's ex-husband was. Jim THs, "It's a bold move to Photoshop yourself into a picture with your girlfriend and her kids on a ski trip with their real father. But then again, Michael's a bold guy. Is 'bold' the right word?" Back to Michael's office, where Carol is dumping him. Between this and the proposal, it's all just too weird for her. Michael desperately shows her the Sandals tickets, which emphatically do not succeed in changing her mind. "If you walk out that door, it is over," Michael threatens like he's seen on TV. And with that, she's gone.
Pam subtly summons Jim over to reception and whispers that she has to give him his Christmas gift now. It seems that she's been sending Dwight letters from the CIA for the past month. She hands over a folder (hand-lettered CLASSIFIED) containing Dwight's application, including a list of all the secrets Dwight said he'd never tell. So how is this a gift for Jim? Well, he gets to decide what the top-secret mission is, of course. And Jim says he shouldn't be doing this stuff any more, given his promotion and all. Pam takes the rejection pretty well -- better than she should, I'd say -- and accepts the folder back. Jim explains in a TH: "If I fall back into the same kind of things I used to do, then what am I doing?" Jim, as long as you stubbornly insist on doing things that aren't Pam, nobody cares.
