Michael panics and tries to hide from David Wallace to avoid being fired. He begs Dwight to claim the idea was his own to take the blame. Dwight eventually agrees to help Michael out of this mess.
Kevin tries to get a date with a woman named Lynn. He receives conflicting advice from Jim, Pam, and Andy on how to act. He ends a nice talk with her by saying the word "boobs" aloud.
