[8.2/10] A great episode. I love how this one teases out the relationship between Michael and Stanley, which has always been a bit tense. It shows how awful Michael is at towing the line between friend who laughs jabs off and boss who needs to assert his authority. And yet, the way Michael comes to terms with Stanley's view of him, while also earning the slightest bit of his respect for asserting himself as Stanley's boss, is really well done. It's a nice two-character study, and the bits with Pam's back-up glasses and Dwight flipping Andy's car are good for comic relief.
