Pam shows Ryan her comic book. She really should have known better.
Toby tries to talk to Jim in the bullpen while Jim tries to stalk Dwight. He's got a snowball in a lacrosse stick (!?), but when Jim lets it fly he misses Dwight and breaks a window. Everyone glares at him.
Lurking around Holly's unattended desk, Michael THs, "I guess there are just some people who you stay together when you transfer with, and some people you don't." Well, when he puts it that way, ouch. "And that's just the way it is. And I can be mature about that." Which is why he tosses Woody in the trash and dumps coffee in on top of him. Nice one, Sid.
There's cardboard over the window Jim broke, and everyone's freezing with their coats on. "Yet another opportunity where a blanket would have come in handy," Gabe says. And they don't all just go home, why?
Michael has Jim and Dwight in his office so Holly can help him tell them to knock it off before someone gets hurt. Jim's getting the worst of it, and Holly lectures them, "Last time I was here, you were both best friends." That shuts them up for a minute. Michael decides to steer the conversation to his girlfriend Tara, who lives in New York. Holly gives the camera a nonplussed look, and after Michael's made-up-on-the-fly story, Holly says she didn't know Michael had a girlfriend. In a TH, Michael smugly says there's someone who "still has feelings for Michael G. Scott. And it ain't Tara."
Pam shows Phyllis her comic book. "Money problems, is that what this is about?" Phyllis asks. She's clearly not too impressed either.
Holly bursts into the party with her coffee-soaked Woody, demanding to know who did it. "I don't think Erin seems to like you," Phyllis suggests. Michael tries to blame Toby, who calmly says it seems more like something Michael would do. Kevin seriously wonders if Woody did it to himself. Angela agrees with Toby, and Michael says he's clearly being framed. Andy asks why anyone would do that. "Okay, why are we discounting this Woody came to life thing so quickly?" Jim wonders. Michael laughs and says it was part of the party. "Someday, I think we will laugh about this, when we tell our kids..." "Yikes," Jim murmurs, with a similar echo around the bullpen. Michael says it was an accident...borne of jealous feelings. Holly says she doesn't feel that way about him any more, so Michael reminds her of her reaction to his fake girlfriend. Holly's not any less pissed, and after asking what's the matter with him, starts to storm out. Michael stops her, saying she told him she couldn't "do this" when he drove her to Nashua, but now she doesn't have any problem with a long-distance relationship with this new guy. "And you know what? That is what is the matter with me...And we did this whole stupid party for you." He stomps into his office, and when Holly goes to follow him, Erin blocks her way, so she's left standing there with everyone staring at her. She says it wasn't her fault. Kevin roars, "Nothing is ever your fault! Just like when you ate those maple candies that you brought for us!" Now Holly has to slink out rather than storm.
