Roy's Wedding - The Office (Season 9, Episode 2)

In the cold open, Pam creates a chore wheel after the office janitor is on vacation, but everyone else in the office complains that it is no fun. Pam changes the wheel so that it barely relates to chores or work at all, which goes over well. Pam adds a "tiny wheel" as an option that does have chores on them, but "it's so cute, no one seems to mind."

Pam and Jim are invited to Pam's former fiancé Roy's wedding, which takes place at 8 am before work. They are surprised by Roy's beautiful home and the elegant wedding details, and Roy tells them he runs a very successful gravel company. During his wedding toast, Roy stuns his bride by performing "She's Got a Way" by Billy Joel on the piano; he told her he was taking boxing lessons as a cover for learning some music. Pam and Jim, stunned by Roy's transformation, try to find things about themselves the other does not know. This is exacerbated by Jim's frequent calls about a new business he is starting with a friend, because Jim and Pam agreed that the venture was not right for them, but Jim then signed onto it without telling his wife he had done so. Pam tries unsuccessfully to bait Jim to find out what the secret is and becomes increasingly annoyed that her husband is lying to her.

Dwight angrily reacts to Nellie's mandatory charity initiative by maintaining that he will donate the money he raises to the Global Relief Foundation, a front for the Taliban. Nellie then makes Dwight sign a contract in "a ridiculous font" to live by Taliban rules in the office, the font making Dwight believe that the contract is not genuine. Subsequently, she steals Dwight's pen and challenges him to cut her hand off for doing so, hoping he will capitulate and pick a legitimate charity. Dwight refuses to back down, but spends an inordinate amount of time preparing to do so before the two end up watching 127 Hours together upon the advice of Darryl, and end up forgetting the issue.

Clark hits on Erin by dangling a fake newscaster job. After receiving some not-so-helpful advice from her coworkers—especially Andy and Darryl, who is now assistant regional manager—Clark invites Erin to his apartment for the fake audition. However, Pete, who has come to dislike Clark, invites himself and Andy along under the pretense of helping with the audition, ruining Clark's seduction plan. Andy ends up throwing himself into the fake plan and dismissing Erin, who goes out for dinner with Pete and enjoys time spent with him.
