Season 7 Episode 8 Summary

The episode begins with the staff watching a live police chase. They think the police have finally caught the Scranton Strangler. After the excitement, Gabe and Erin invite everyone to their apartment to watch the show Glee.

Michael feels jealous of Gabe's status as a leader. He tries to ruin the party by acting like a child. He even tries to sabotage the TV and the homemade pizza.

Michael eventually moves to a bedroom to watch the show alone. He hopes people will follow him, but no one does. This makes him feel even more insecure about his place in the office.

Pam and Jim are tired because their baby, Cece, will not stop crying. Dwight discovers he has a magic touch for calming the infant. He makes Jim serve him beer and pizza so he will keep holding her.

Andy is very sad that Erin is dating Gabe. He finds strange "Chinese herbs" in Gabe’s room and eats them. The powder makes him incredibly sick, and he spends the night vomiting.

Michael sneaks outside and cuts the cable lines to the apartment. The TV goes dark, and the party starts to fall apart. He eventually admits he was the one who did it.

Erin confronts Michael about why he hates Gabe so much. He realizes that Erin looks up to him like a father figure. They share a sweet moment where they pretend to have a father-daughter argument.

The night ends with Gabe trying to help a sick Andy. He plays weird music on a keyboard to help him feel better. It is a strange ending to a very chaotic night.
