Whistleblower

Season 6 Episode 24 Summary

The Office Season 6, Episode 24, “Whistleblower,” centers on reports that Sabre printers catch fire. Michael defends the printers on television, then urges staff to boost his clip’s online views. His push falls apart when a baby otter video steals everyone’s focus, including his own.

Jo Bennett arrives in Scranton to find out who told the press about the faulty printers. She claims a software fix solved the issue, but fears the news will drive clients away. Michael backs his staff, while Gabe hands out forms asking everyone to deny leaking the story.

Most workers blame Andy, who raised concerns about the printers before the story broke. Yet Darryl and Pam each confess to Michael that they shared the news outside work. Darryl told a newspaper copy editor, while Pam told a daycare parent whose husband reports news.

Michael holds a secret meeting in Meredith’s van, where Kelly joins the growing list of leaks. Ryan also admits he likely tweeted the news, then pitches WUPHF, his paid service for sending messages. Michael drops his plan to smash their computers and agrees to ask Jo to spare their jobs.

Jo urges Dwight to put his sales earnings into property, which sparks a new plan. He sets his sights on buying the Scranton office building, hinting at trouble for his coworkers. Elsewhere, David Wallace admits spreading the printer news, but still wants to discuss his “Suck It” product.

The hunt turns ugly when departing IT worker Nick exposes Andy’s email to a newspaper editor. Nick also found Andy’s printer fire test video, confirming that Andy really did contact the press. Coworkers punish Andy by putting his bag above the ceiling, but Erin praises his brave choice.

Aboard Jo’s private jet, Michael admits he misses Holly and feels his year has gone badly. Jo shares her fear that a public recall will stain her name and bury her success. Michael offers to read the recall statement himself, taking on the public role she dreads.

Michael announces a full recall of Sabre GH400 printers, then asks for questions after ruling them out. When Jo offers him a favor, he asks her to bring Holly back; she promises to try. For a shareable episode moment, click the camera button next to any quote to make an image for social media.
