In Tallahassee, Jim tries to watch basketball in his hotel room. Cathy enters and makes many excuses to stay there with him. She flirts and acts like his marriage to Pam does not matter. Jim feels very awkward and tries to push her away. He makes his famous "Jim face" as the night gets tense.

Jim calls Dwight to help him get Cathy out of the room. He tells Dwight that he saw a bedbug in the bed. Dwight takes the threat very seriously and rushes into the room right away. He turns up the heat and starts a "human trap" to find the bug. This ruins the mood and forces Cathy to leave.

Dwight and Todd Packer fight for a new job under Nellie. They both try to win her over at the hotel bar. Nellie invites Dwight to her room for a late-night meeting. Dwight knows he must sleep with her to get the job. He decides to stay true to his own path instead.

Dwight tricks Nellie by breaking her room key card. He hides in his room and eats dessert while she stays locked out. Back in Scranton, Andy forces the staff to work a very long night. He brings in Jamaican food for a "work jam" in the office. This leads to a big fight between Darryl and Val’s boyfriend.

The office staff listens to Darryl read his text messages to Val. They argue about the meaning of a "dot dot dot" at the end of a note. Many think five dots means he wants to be more than friends. Darryl stays calm while the group talks about his love life.

Ryan and Erin go on a late-night hunt for hotel waffles. Ryan thinks he can win Erin over while they are away. Erin tells him she plans to stay in Florida for a long time. This news scares Ryan, so he claims he still loves Kelly. He wants to avoid any big changes in his life.
