Michael pairs with Andy, Jim with Dwight, Phyllis with Karen, and Stanley with Ryan for sales calls. He compares their outing to The Amazing Race, though there’s no prize beyond bragging rights. His race starts with a cheap trick: tossing Phyllis’s keys beneath her car.
Jim and Dwight’s sales call shows how well they work together, despite their constant clashes. After slapping Dwight during a debate about self-defense, Jim helps prove their quick service beats a larger firm’s. Meanwhile, Ryan stumbles through his pitch while Stanley does a crossword, then laughs at Ryan’s nervous string of greetings.
Phyllis takes Karen to a salon before their meeting, where their new looks help build a client bond. She later tells Karen that Jim spent a long time hung up on Pam. When Karen asks Jim about it, he admits his old crush and says Pam didn’t feel the same.
Back at the office, Angela treats Pam to coffee and shares a thinly veiled tale about “Noelle” and “Kurt.” Dwight drove to New York to deliver Angela’s late tax forms, which explains his late arrival at work. Angela feels touched by his act, but their secret romance stops him from sharing the truth.
Andy spends the day trying to turn Michael against Dwight, while his own sales pitch hurts their meeting. He revives Dwight’s past bid for Michael’s job and claims people call major mistakes having “Schruted it.” After finding Dwight’s New York toll receipt, Andy pushes Michael to view the trip as fresh proof of betrayal.
Michael learns Dwight signed in at corporate, listing his business as “Beeswax. Not yours, Inc.” He demands an answer before day’s end, but Dwight refuses to expose Angela and asks Michael to trust him. Dwight offers to reveal their love, yet Angela rejects the idea and leaves him with few choices.
Dwight quits rather than reveal Angela’s secret, giving Michael his things and sharing a farewell hug with Jim. His speech mixes pride with gloom, including his lost dream of dying in his desk chair. Andy gloats with an Oompa-Loompa song, while Angela calls Dwight one of the firm’s most honest and skilled workers.
