Meredith Palmer (Kate Flannery) is later accused, she shaves her head. Several members of the office, on behalf of advice courtesy of Erin Hannon (Ellie Kemper) cover their head in mayonnaise to suffocate the lice. Everyone in the office teams up to put mayonnaise on each others hair, which allows Pete (Jake Lacy) and Erin to spend time together. Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson), however, over-reacts and dons a hazmat suit but accidentally exposes himself to a hallucinogenic bug bomb that causes him to faint. Eventually, the office learns that Pam was responsible for the lice infestation, much to Meredith's chagrin. Meanwhile, Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) goes to Philadelphia to meet with a potential investor in his sports marketing company; the investor is none other than Julius "Dr. J" Erving, a personal hero of Jim's. The two play basketball while Pam, still in Scranton, tries to unsuccessfully call her husband. Back at the office, Pam apologizes to Meredith, and the two go out for a beer. While at the bar, Pam tells Meredith—who is a single parent and has two children—how hard she realizes it is to handle children by herself. After Nellie Bertram (Catherine Tate), Phyllis Vance (Phyllis Smith), and Kevin Malone (Brian Baumgartner) are sent down to the warehouse due to them not having lice, they interfere with Darryl Philbin's (Craig Robinson) love life. Darryl had recently broken up with the warehouse foreman Val (Ameenah Kaplan) because he wanted to have a new start if he moved to Philadelphia if he got a job at Jim's new sports marketing company. However, Nellie, Phyllis, and Kevin convince Val to get back together with Darryl, much to his annoyance. 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「Lice (The Office)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
