Michael Scott tricks Jim and Pam into coming over for dinner. He fakes a work task from corporate to catch them in a lie. Jim realizes there is no way out and accepts the invite. Andy and Angela join them at Michael’s small condo.

The night starts with a very awkward tour of the home. Jan shows the guests her candle-making room called "Serenity by Jan." Michael proudly displays his tiny plasma television on the wall. He even shows them the small bench where he sleeps at night.

The group waits hours for the food to finish cooking. Jan plays a song by her former assistant named Hunter. The lyrics suggest that Jan and Hunter had a secret affair. Michael and Jan call each other "babe" while they trade insults.

The guests play a painful game of charades in the living room. Jim tries to leave by lying about a flooded apartment. Michael refuses to let him go and makes him stay. The tension between the hosts makes everyone feel very trapped.

Dwight arrives uninvited with his own food and wine glasses. He brings his former babysitter as his date for the night. Michael lets him in, which makes Jan very angry. The party becomes even more crowded and strange.

A huge fight breaks out over a neon beer sign. Michael shouts about his three vasectomies during a famous "snip-snap" rant. Jan gets so mad that she throws a Dundie at the television. The screen shatters just as the police arrive at the door.

The police tell Michael he should spend the night somewhere else. He leaves with Dwight while the other couples quickly flee. Jim and Pam eat burgers in the car to celebrate their escape. They listen to the CD Jim stole from the party.
