St. Patrick's Day

Several of the warehouse guys come up to "bust Darryl out," and crack on him a bit for having his shirt tucked in. Catching a look from Michael, Darryl sits back down, looking uncomfortable.

Andy and Erin are on the couch in front of the TV when suddenly a guy comes out into the living room. This is Erin's foster brother Reed, who steals Andy's seat next to Erin and teases her for having smelly feet. Andy learns that they were in the same house from 10-12 and 15-18. "Formative years," Andy remarks in a tone that clearly means, "So how much sex did you guys have, then?" Reed tells him, "Nice skirt." I think we have our answer. I also think the show might get some complaints from foster families. Not because they're offended by this subplot, but because it's not that funny.

The cleaning crew comes in to the bullpen, and turns right back around when they see the office still inhabited. Angela THs that she wants to get off work, not to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, but to protest it. Gabe follows Jo all the way to the bathroom door, where Michael meets him and wonders how long they'll be there. Gabe says you never know. Michael asks why she just doesn't give out schedules. Gabe admits that would be nice but then jokes, "I'll date when I'm dead," a little manically. In an office TH, Michael worries about turning out like Gabe. "26, single, tied to my desk, no life, no family. I want to have been married by the time I would have turned thirty. That's just depressing." Yeah, good thing Michael dodged that bullet.

Michael goes into the conference room and says that it's 8:30 on St. Patrick's Day, so he's going to cut everyone loose for the night. Jo gives an inscrutable grunt, and Michael says he's happy with the work they've done. "All right, then," Jo finally says neutrally. Michael pauses at the door and says he's cancelling his trip to Tallahassee. "Although I do look forward to our professional relationship." She stops him at the door and says, "I look forward to that too." So it looks like they're cool. What fun is that?

Andy's about to leave Erin's house, and pauses in the doorway when he sees how hard it's raining. It almost looks like there's going to be a kiss goodnight, but then there's Reed lurking by the fridge in the background. Finally Erin kisses Andy on the cheek. "Oh, great, now I'm going to get sick," he jokes. Yeah, Andy, definitely take her somewhere out of the house next time.
