Jan Levinson is suing Dunder Mifflin for four million dollars. She claims the company fired her because of her recent breast surgery.
The legal team asks Michael many tough questions about his boss. He struggles to stay serious during the long and boring meeting. When a lawyer asks about being "under" Jan, Michael says his famous line. He cannot resist saying "That's what she said" on the record.
Things take a bad turn when Jan’s lawyer uses Michael’s diary as evidence. The lawyer reads his private thoughts about their secret trip to Jamaica. Michael feels embarrassed that his personal life is now public for everyone. He learns that Jan stole the diary from under his own mattress.
The company shows Michael a bad review Jan wrote about his work. She wrote it while they were already dating as a couple. This hurts Michael much more than the loss of his private diary. He also hears David Wallace say Michael was never a real choice for a promotion.
Michael must decide who to support at the end of the day. He chooses to defend Dunder Mifflin even though Jan wants him to lie. He tells the lawyers that the company treats people with real respect. Michael leaves the meeting feeling sad because Jan used him for money.
Back at the office, Jim and Darryl play many games of ping pong. Kelly mocks Pam because Jim keeps losing every single match to Darryl. Dwight reveals he is a secret master of the game of table tennis. He helps Jim train so he can finally beat the warehouse crew.
Jim plays Darryl again but he still cannot win the big match. Kelly keeps singing mean songs to annoy Pam about Jim's poor skills. Finally, Pam and Kelly decide to play a match against each other. They both turn out to be very bad at the game.
