The Office TV Show - Lice - The Office Recaps, The Office Reviews, The Office Episodes | TWoP

By M. Giant

While Jim's off in Philadelphia doing his new job that involves hanging out on the basketball court with Dr. J., Pam finds single momhood somewhat challenging. The most obvious manifestation of this is that Cece came home from school with lice, and Pam appears to have brought them into the office. The good news, at least at first, is that everyone assumes the office epidemic is Meredith's fault, including Meredith herself. Pam puts off confessing until Meredith shaves her head, at which point it kind of seems a little late. Dwight takes command of the situation from inside a hazmat suit, but it's really Erin -- with her history of 22 lice infestations growing up -- who really knows what to do. On her instructions, most of the employees slather each other's hair in mayonnaise. Angela takes advantage of this opportunity to torture Oscar, while Erin and Pete all but make a date out of it. Aside from a bug-bomb mishap or two with Dwight, the situation seems mostly under control, at least until Pam takes an ill-advised speakerphone call from her mom that blows her cover.

Not everyone's bugged, though; Darryl, Phyllis, Stanley and Nellie are sent to the warehouse where they can do their work and remain lice-free. But the other three get into Darryl's hair anyway. After all his hard work getting Val to dump him so he can follow Jim to Philadelphia, the others manage to convince Val to take him back.

And then Pam and Meredith make up over beers and karaoke. The end. Seriously.
