Yeah I agree with you there about a plot summary kind of chapter. Though the issues with Andy's family and the boat I think were the best written section this time around. Especially when we get into Erin's mindset. She's trying, but more and more she's seeing that Andy really isn't there for her. He's to caught up in his own world. Which is really a shame because Erin is so sweet. And there's of course Pete waiting in the wings. Good for him to take things easy.

Always fun to see a prank on Dwight. Especially with Pam being so perceptive of Jim. Looking forward as always to seeing where we go with this.

Author's Response:

Exactly!  I love Andy as a character, flaws and all, but he does a lot of actions without thinking them through or understanding the ramifications (as he will later on), especially when it comes to Erin.  She knows him, she loves him, but she's not getting what she really needs from a relationship.  And Pete is a better match for her I feel (sorry like 80% of the fandom), but in the AU I wanted to develop his character a bit more and show why he's not straight up Mr-Steal-Yo-Girl like he seemed to be in canon.

And yes, Nellie being in on it was fun.  Again, that's the absolute highlight of the episode because it felt like S2 when Jim and Pam just troll on Dwight and he is none the wiser.  And since there's no real big pranks towards Dwight by Jim (besides the penultimate episode), I figured he'd be done with them for the time being.

Thanks for the review, as always!
