Season 1 Episode 2 Summary

Corporate sends a consultant named Mr. Brown to the Scranton branch. He must lead a meeting about diversity. This happens because Michael Scott performed an offensive comedy routine at work.

Michael thinks the training is a waste of time. He tries to take over the meeting with his own jokes. Mr. Brown reveals that Michael is the only person required to be there.

Michael decides to host a second meeting after lunch. He calls his session "Diversity Tomorrow." He wants to show everyone how to handle race his way.

The staff plays a game where they wear cards on their foreheads. Each card has a different race or group written on it. Michael tells them to treat each other based on stereotypes.

The meeting gets very uncomfortable for the staff. Michael uses a fake Indian accent when Kelly Kapoor walks into the room. She gets angry and slaps him across the face.

Key moments from the episode include:

• Michael trying to do a Chris Rock routine.
• The "head card" game in the conference room.
• Kelly slapping Michael after his "Googi Googi" joke.
• Dwight accidentally stealing Jim's biggest sale of the year.

Jim spends the whole day trying to close a huge deal. Dwight interferes by making noise and taking the client. Jim loses a large part of his yearly pay.

The day ends with a small win for Jim. Pam falls asleep on his shoulder during the meeting. Jim decides the bad day was worth it for that one moment.
