The episode was positively received by television critics, with one believing it was one of the best of the season. ==Synopsis== Jan (Melora Hardin), Michael (Steve Carell), Dwight (Rainn Wilson), Jim (John Krasinski), and Karen (Rashida Jones) attend a cocktail party hosted by Dunder-Mifflin's CFO David Wallace (Andy Buckley). Jan and Michael choose to make their relationship public at this event. With the branch managers away, the remainder of the office goes to happy hour at Poor Richard's. Pam (Jenna Fischer) reminds Roy (David Denman) that, as her boyfriend, he needs to attend as well. Understanding that he needs to be a better boyfriend, Roy shows up to bar (along with his brother, Kenny). At the party, Karen plays a joke on Jim by identifying many people at the party as former boyfriends. Dwight takes it upon himself to give the house a thorough inspection, and spends the night criticizing the layout of the Wallaces' house, while Michael's public displays of affection make Jan uncomfortable. Towards the end of the evening, David invites Jim to play basketball in the backyard. As Michael and Jan drive home together, they have an awkward argument regarding their future together. At Poor Richard's, Pam tells Roy she wants a fresh start in their relationship and tells him about the "Casino Night" kiss. Roy reacts violently, and, along with his brother, begins destroying the bar. Pam, seeing his destructive response, immediately calls off their relationship for good. After Roy's brother uses the jet ski money to pay off the bar for damages, Roy stares off into the distance, saying, "I am gonna kill Jim Halpert." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cocktails (The Office)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
