I was wondering how Future Pam and Past Pam (and Michael's) would eventually come back together. Having one set of doppelgangers disappear during the chaos of Roy's attack and Dwight's pepper spray seemed to do the trick nicely. I was starting to get worried since it kind of seemed like Future Pam's plan was becoming undone due to all the interference from other parties like Kelly and Roy. In the book Harry and Hermione go through the events, then go back in time, and then catch up to when they went back in time without anyone really knowing. It didn't seem quite so neat here, which is fine by the way. So that worked well.

Maybe a little short sighted of Future Pam to think Roy would just go slinking off like a dog with his tail between his legs. She got access to Past Pam's memories and thus had at least access to the insight of Roy's road rage and his reaction after they got back from the trip. Also, it kind of felt like she's ready to go meet her new future at warp speed, especially with Jim at her side, that she may have forgotten about Roy's temper. You spent ten-ish years with the guy Pam, you had to have some clue that he'd go flying off the handle. Also case in point Roy getting aggressive at Jim during the Alliance. Thing of it is that, like I said she's ready to go with an extra two weeks of soul searching under her belt about how she wants to live. Not so with Roy. He's the same stuck in his high school wanting things to stay the same kind of guy he always is. So from a story perspective that works well.

Jim telling her he would have been able to handle himself is something I can 100% get behind. Flush with the adrenaline of victory in getting together with Pam and his natural protective instincts, yeah, I don't think Jim would have had a problem. He was able to basically go toe-to-toe with Roy physically in the basketball game so there is precedent. Fortunately, thanks to Dwight's pepper spray such actions were not needed.

What was needed was the paramedics showing up. Do I detect a slight call out to "This Thing Called Life" and the crew of Medic 4? If so, thank you. Made me grin.

And to top it all off, even Team Roy for Life Angela Martin approves of the change in Pam's relationship status. Well done Pam in getting everything figured out. Great chapter. And now I get to go right on to the next one! Hooray!

Very clever way to use the pepper spray incident. Glad you didn’t decide to have everyone forget everything, too. Eager to see the wrap-up!
