ynopsis

When someone leaves a disgusting substance (heavily implied but never clearly shown to be human feces) on the carpet in Michael's office, he spends the day at Jim's desk, relegating Jim to the back room to suffer Kelly's constant chattering. She asks Jim to hook her up with Ryan. Jim continues to yearn for Pam, but her "groom-to-be", Roy, is in the office replacing the carpet along with Darryl, and Jim is unable to speak with her.

As the day wears on, Michael becomes convinced that what happened to his office is a hate crime and an act of terrorism. Believing it to have been perpetrated by someone in the office, he begins to lose his faith in his employees, who he considers his "friends" (this suspicion is only fuelled by Oscar and Creed, laughing at the fact that each person thought the other committed the act) and says that he once would have donated an organ to save any of his office friends' lives but would now "let them get a monkey kidney". But his mood changes drastically when he finds out the prank was carried out by his "Best Friend Forever," Todd Packer. Michael instantly finds the joke hilarious, and his faith in his friends is restored.

At the end of the day, Jim is cheered up when he finds that all his voicemail messages were left by Pam throughout the day.

Deleted scenes

The Season Two DVD contains a number of deleted scenes from this episode. Notable cut scenes include:
*Dwight believes that a higher power brought Michael to his desk.
*Angela and Kevin speculate on the culprit.
*Jim can't handle Kelly's chattering.
*Jim eats lunch by himself in his car.
*Michael can't complete a sale.
*Michael steals a crumpet from Dwight.
*Dwight and Angela have a secret conversation in the kitchen. *
*Michael remembers his best friend ever.

*In the shooting script, there was a scene involving Dwight and Angela where Dwight was defending his sales techniques. In place of Angela saying, "You could outsell Michael any day", originally she said, "I'm late." This was going to leave viewers speculating on whether or not Angela was pregnant but Greg Daniels decided against it at the last minute.fact|date=February 2008
