Dwight’s free family portraits make Jim fear payback for his latest prank: swapping Dwight’s suit for tear-away clothes. Pam brings their children anyway, leaving Jim tense through a harmless photo shoot. Dwight’s true goal involves Angela’s baby, Phillip, rather than revenge against Jim.
Angela suspects Dwight wants a DNA test to prove he fathered Phillip, so she blocks his clumsy sample grabs. Dwight finally steals a dirty diaper and races away, with Angela close behind. Mose helps his escape, then faces Angela’s wrath when she demands to know where Dwight went.
Meanwhile, former warehouse workers seek their old jobs after losing their lottery cash on a failed energy drink. Andy samples the drink, whose crude flavor name leads to a strange joke about its subtle coconut taste. Darryl openly admits pursuing Val, then invites her into a portrait with his daughter, Jada.
Andy returns dressed as a janitor, pretending to beg for work while hiding his planned return as manager. He convinced David Wallace to buy Dunder Mifflin, but milks his fake downfall for a grand reveal. His mop, booze smell, and strange acts prompt an office intervention, while Erin’s support only deepens the confusion.
David finally arrives and confirms the deal, ending doubts that Andy imagined their talks. Andy regains the manager’s job, though his planned triumph falls flat as David discusses the sale. David also reveals that Jo Bennett plans to shut down Sabre, ending its hold on Dunder Mifflin.
Andy tries to savor firing Nellie, but her plea for mercy turns into a funny Shakespeare clash. He keeps her as special projects manager, while Robert introduces himself to David as “Bob Kazamakis.” Robert secures a million-dollar pledge for a dubious overseas mentoring plan, then kisses Andy goodbye.
At the lab, Dwight and Angela wait for the DNA test, which needs seventy-two hours. She holds his hand, and they kiss before she pulls back; the episode leaves the result unknown. The final scene reveals another secret: Senator Lipton urges Oscar to call him, hinting at their hidden bond.
