This is so great. What a great chapter! I love that Michael has to let Pam know that Jim actually wants to get HER attention!!! Michael’s quiet confidence in Pam is so sweet. What a testament to teachers! And oh Jim. Picking up on Pam drawing what she wants to say. How incredible! And of course, so true to canon Pam! The callbacks to jello, Dwight’s stapler, and the teal teapot are just icing on the cake! Can’t wait to see the prank come to life— and more sweet Jam!!

Love that Jim is keeping tabs on her. Then when she finally comes in and sits down she takes a chair a few away from him. So Jim has to look over to her. Nice parallel to how he was always glancing over to reception. Really nice that she found a bit of courage to move closer too.

Feels like for the first time she was really close to saying something in school. Felt like she wanted to say something and was almost there. Hopefully she can grow those feelings out.

Then Jim comes in with a perfect idea for her. And the inspiration is again the teapot. Let Pam share her words through art. Really love how Jim is getting through to her.
