"Moving On" is the sixteenth episode of the ninth season of the American comedy television series ''The Office'' and the 192nd episode overall. The episode was written by Graham Wagner. It was directed by Jon Favreau. It originally aired on NBC on February 14, 2013. The episode guest stars Bob Odenkirk, Mary Gillis, Collette Wolfe, and Andy Buckley. The episode also features the return of former series regular Zach Woods as Gabe Lewis. The series—presented as if it were a real documentary—depicts the everyday lives of office employees in the Scranton, Pennsylvania, branch of the fictional Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. In this episode, Pam Halpert (Jenna Fischer) interviews for a job in Philadelphia, but her potential manager Mark (Bob Odenkirk) reminds her of her former boss, Michael Scott (Steve Carell). Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson) acquires the help of Angela Lipton (Angela Kinsey) in order to give his elderly Aunt Shirley (Mary Gillis) a bath. Meanwhile, Andy Bernard (Ed Helms) attempts to make Pete Miller (Jake Lacy) and Erin (Ellie Kemper) feel uncomfortable by hiring one of Pete's former girlfriends, as well as Gabe (Zach Woods). On February 8, 2013, NBC announced that the episode would be expanded to fill a one hour television block, although it still counts as one official episode. The episode received largely positive reviews, although many were critical of the episode's extended length, which they argued felt padded. The episode was viewed by 4.06 million viewers and received a 2/6 percent rating among adults between the ages of 18 and 49. The episode ranked third in its timeslot, and it was the highest-rated NBC series of the night. ==Plot== Andy Bernard (Ed Helms) learns that Pete Miller (Jake Lacy) and Erin (Ellie Kemper) are dating each other, which they've been holding in secrecy from him. After attempting to fire Pete, Andy is lectured by both Erin and Pete to move on. Seeking revenge, Andy hires both Alice (Collette Wolfe), Pete's ex-girlfriend and Gabe Lewis (Zach Woods), who is still attracted to Erin, in order to make Pete and Erin feel uncomfortable. The plan inevitably works as the new couple's past relationship issues surface with Gabe making several uncomfortable remarks and Alice bringing up Pete's immature past, prompting arguments to break out in the conference room. Andy smugly tells the camera that seeing Erin and Pete unhappy makes him feel better. Pam Halpert (Jenna Fischer) interviews for a job in Philadelphia, where she is amused to find her potential manager, Mark (Bob Odenkirk), reminiscent of her former Dunder Mifflin regional manager Michael Scott (Steve Carell). When Pam realizes that she is simply interviewing for a glorified receptionist's job, she turns down the offer. Pam later tells Jim Halpert (John Krasinski), during a romantic dinner, that she does not really want to move to Philadelphia, despite Jim having started his own business. Pam's admission leaves their conversation in awkward silence. Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson) acquires the help of Angela Lipton (Angela Kinsey) in order to give his elderly Aunt Shirley a bath. Dwight initially wants to merely take his aunt out and spray her with a hose, but Angela talks him into letting her do it in a more dignified manner. Dwight agrees, and through the process, the two begin to remember their feelings for each other. At the end of the day, Angela and Dwight begin kissing, but Angela reminds Dwight that she is married. Dwight dejectedly tells her that, while he still loves her, she should be faithful to her husband. In the episode's other subplots, Toby Flenderson (Paul Lieberstein) goes to the local prison to talk to the person accused of being the notorious local murderer, the Scranton Strangler; Toby had been discussing the details of the case for some time, forcing Nellie Bertram (Catherine Tate) to tell him to do something about it, or to stop talking. Toby believes he may be innocent, but he is proven wrong when he is nearly strangled in prison. However, he does have his spirits lifted after Nellie gives him a lift from the hospital and commends him for his bravery. During the last scene of the show, Oscar Martinez (Oscar Nunez) queues up a television show on his computer, and while the ad loads, he tries to do gravity boot sit-ups. While he is struggling to get down, the camera pans over to Oscar's computer and zooms in on an upcoming television guide on his screen that reveals that the in-series documentary—called ''The Office: An American Workplace''—will air in May. 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「Moving On (The Office)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
