[[Michael Scott (The Office)|Michael]] is asked to go around to the different branches to lecture about Scranton's success, except Nashua as Michael says it's still a "little bit raw" there. He brings [[Pam Beesly|Pam]] along as his assistant, mostly just to carry around his belongings, and their first stop is the Utica branch, where [[Karen Filippelli|Karen]] is the regional manager. Pam is nervous to see Karen as she believes Karen is still mad at her over [[Jim Halpert|Jim]]. When Karen comes to greet them, the two are shocked to see that she is pregnant. Michael immediately asks if it is Jim's, to which Karen immediately denies. Michael's lecture to the Utica branch is a failure and Karen brings Michael and Pam into her office. While Michael fools around, Karen reveals to Pam she is due in one month and is married. Pam mentions that she and Jim are engaged, toabout which Karen hesitantly congratulates her on. On the way to the car, Pam mentions to Michael that she is happy she came on the trip because she found closure with Karen. Later, in the car, Michael tells Pam about [[Holly Flax|Holly]] and how he never really found closure with her. Pam suggests that they drive to Nashua so that he can find closure, and Michael agrees.
Back in Scranton, Jim and [[Dwight Schrute|Dwight]] become heads of the Party Planning Committee after [[Phyllis Vance|Phyllis]] blackmailed [[Angela Martin|Angela]]. Michael determined that Angela and Phyllis became too power hungry when they were the sole heads at their respective times, and it would be best for there to be two heads. They openly show their disdain for it, which is reflected in their performance as heads when [[Kelly Kapoor|Kelly]] chastises them for forgetting her birthday. They try to make it up to her by having a party, but they do a poor job setting upit oneup as Dwight puts little effort into blowing up the balloons and neither of them know how old Kelly is. Dwight reads through Kelly's file report and finds out that she has been to juvenile hall.
Meanwhile, [[Andy Bernard|Andy]] finds himself attracted to Julia, an female African-American potential female client, who is talking with [[Stanley Hudson|Stanley]]. Andy awkwardly interrupts their business meeting and Stanley pulls him aside. Andy admits his attraction to her to Stanley, who then gives the potential client over to Andy in exchange for two of his clients. Andy awkwardly gets the clientJulia to reveal that she is single and Andy tries to muster up the courage to ask her out. [[Creed Bratton (character)|Creed]] suggests that he goes in for the kiss, before mistakenly calling him Jim. Andy walks the client to her car and attempts to kiss her, but she immediately rebukes his advances. Andy apologizes and mentions that he just got out of a relationship. The client mentions that she got out of a relationship as well and Andy starts feeling a connection, but she still rejects him and he loses out on the account.
