I had to write this based on what I was convinced was really happening/would happen on last night's episode. In the light of day, it's probably off base, but....
Oh, and obviously, parts of this are spoiler-ish from last night's episode.
I have decided to expand on the idea of Codename: Chicken Plate. This will be my take on the emails, phone calls and conversations we missed over the summer and for the first part of Season 3 (until Pam and Jim actually communicate themselves) My idea is that Jim knows exactly what happened between Pam and Roy and knows exactly what is going on in Pam's life right now even if WE don't see it.
Jim is not successful in stealing Pam's Christmas card back.
This might turn into something like my Away From the Cameras (in that I'll try to do one for every episode). This is, of course, assuming that those sneaky writers don't reveal something totally the opposite of the assumptions I'm going on here.

An Office-based parody of The Princess Bride.Two weeks after Casino Night, Jim is packing for Australia. Pam pays a visit.
Inspired by the premiere’s melancholy whiff o’Jam. Except with a happy ending, because…I felt like it. Contains a possible SPOILER – nothing you wouldn’t know unless you’ve avoided even those tiny tidbits in the mass media. Just saying, to be fair."He used to dream about her all the time."
So this started in my mind as a little one shot (cue mocking laughter). Of course it expanded to a little more. It's pure speculation on my part, and is probably quite off. :o)

Somebody has a hard time watching Pam be happy. Guess who?
Casino Night ended slightly differently, so Pam and Jim are still on friendly terms when he heads for Australia. She makes a point to keep him up to date with what's going on on the home front. Jim's been away. Now he's back. Pam realizes what she's missed. No spoilers - just speculation and much wishful thinking.
I added Karen as a character in the story - since she's mentioned.
It's another Stamford office friday night, and Josh is buying the first few rounds. Jim tags along and hopes to start building some new relationships. That turns out to be more true than he could have imagined.
The more things change - the more they stay the same.
(I went crazy and rated it M -and then changed it back to a T 'cause - you know - it's still me doing the writing.)
