Michael Scott has been dumped, so Andy drags him off to Benihana to cheer him up, which is a bit like treating a sore throat with a trip to the dentist. Back at the office, Angela's Party Planning Committee has been challenged by a rival bash run by Pam and Karen, and everyone has to pick a side. Two parties, one karaoke machine and a very confused Michael, all in a lovely extended episode of cringe and mischief. It is the sort of festive double bill you save for a lazy afternoon on the sofa, once the Quality Street have been properly sorted.
