Back From Vacation
Ranked #73 out of 186 episodes in The Office
Karen and Jim had their first big fight in the relationship. Karen had been living in a hotel since taking her job in Scranton. When she decided to live next door to Jim, he took it as the next step to living together and that was too fast. She was not pleased with his response.
Michael's vacation stories bomb so hard they anchor the entire episode's cringe.
