Details Around The Office

During Holly's ethics seminar, Meredith reveals that for the past six years she had been sleeping with Bruce Myers, the Scranton representative for Hammermill, in exchange for discounts and Outback Steakhouse coupons. Staples had an exclusive hold on Hammermill products up until S3:E2, when Michael announced to Jan, Josh, Jim, and Dwight that he had, for the first time, gotten Hammermill to break their exclusive ties with Staples. Less than six years passed between S3:E2 and S5:E3, meaning Meredith could not have been receiving Hammermill discounts for the duration of her relationship with Myers.

During a weigh-in, we can see Meredith's face covered in some kind of horrible redness. Either burns, a rash, disease, etc. She is rather disfigured, yet no mention of it is ever made, and it plays into no scene either before or after this. Confirmed Cause: Deleted Scene A scene was deleted in which Meredith explains that "These guys took me out on a fishing boat... I don't think I caught anything." In the next scene Michael says to Meredith "Hey! Your face is... almost back to normal."

When Meredith, Dwight, and Mose break into Holly's car to leave a raccoon inside, Meredith inserts a crowbar of sorts between the door and the window to disable the lock. We can clearly see that the driver's side window had been open the whole time.

When the gang pulls into the Steamtown Mall in Meredith's 1991-1996 Ford Aerostar XL, the hubcap on the rear driver's side wheel is missing. This is the same wheel which gets a puncture in its tire later in the episode. The hubcap was already missing before the blowout, prepped for the upcoming roadside scene.
