Hee!! I just watched the episode (finally!) last night, and coming in to read this all was so damn made of CUTE!
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I too finally got to see The Office last night. I suspect Jim is more invested in the fairy tale proposal than Pam is. Though I think Pam would be more invested in the fairy tale wedding than Jim would be. But what happens to Pam at the Pratt Institute? Does she start growing away from Scranton and Jim?
But you know, the job as Michael's supervisor is now vacant. And I think Jim is at or near that point where his job becomes a career whether he thinks in those terms or not.
I did like that Michael's meltdown seems to have halted. It was getting to a breaking point. Now, why he's willing to be Jan's Lamaze partner.... And how that affects things with Holly....

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
My DH is now quoting "HR is full of monsters" at me on a regular basis.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I sense (pure speculation) a major lawsuit next season. I'm not sure why, and I'm not sure who would sue. I could see Stanley or Kelly, maybe. I also sense Phyllis losing patience, but she'd more likely quit and work for her husband. Although if nobody has sued yet, I kind of wonder if anyone ever will.
But the transition from Toby to Holly means a switch from HR as (attempted) brake on Michael's most egregious instincts to HR as a foot on the gas pedal. We're talking someone who, the first day on the job, talks to her boss about planning an orgy.

Punishingly Intricate
On the other hand, later that night? On the way home? At breakfast the next morning? Come on, Jim, just man up and do it! Nobody else needs to know that it happened on the same day as Andy's proposal
You know I thought it would have been nice if, during the hoopla about Andy's proposal, Jim had just leaned over to Pam and opened the box. It would have been a sweet moment.
i'm talking about Robin/Barney!! he looooooves her!!!
HIMYM made me cry like a sucker last night. Admittedly I was watching it while kinda drunk on sangria.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, that would have been great, lisah.
While I am rooting for Barney/Robin, I hope Stella tells Ted that proposing after a "life-changing accident" made him realize he shouldn't have broken up with her is weak and dumps his ass. "Now I can give you what you need", piffle!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I don't necessarily want her to break up with him, but she damn well better tell him to put on the brakes for a bit.
The final moments? That look on Barney's face? Totally heart-melty, and I say that as someone who has always found Barney skating right on the edge of too skeevy and cruel to be funny. Never quite over that edge, because NPH is just too fun and engaging, plus the writers have been careful to give him just enough messed-up backstory and just enough secret good deeds to keep him on this side of it, but he's been uncomfortably close more than a few times.
But that look? Oh. Oh, dear. The poor noodle.
