What a great description of Jim and Pam in how he felt rewarded for reading her through the silence of not speaking… similar to when they spoke without words— only glances and looks throughout the show. I work in the operating room and even before masks and the pandemic, I totally got this—you can have entire CONVERSATIONS without words, simply glances, eye rolls, smile crinkles, etc! Def in contrast to Katy’s babbling constant chatter. And yes, Pam is making progress! So glad she’s realized that she can speak without words! That used to kill me about the pandemic. When people would complain about “missing smiles” and “facial expressions”… you can read soooo much non verbally from the eyes up!!!

Pam seeking a quiet place of solitude rings true here. Cafeteria's are loud noisy places full of chatter. Something she's never been able to take part in so she seeks her own company. But now she's hoping for more.
Of course it's Roy and Katy that put some doubts in Jim's mind. Nothing can be 100% perfect so that's a nice bit of realism added in there. But more progress for Pam. Starting to rebel against her silence. Wanting to talk even if she feels like she still can't. So yeah a few steps forwards. But now she had a new outlet. One she can control and I love how she's jumping into this new form of expression. Look out world cause little Pam's going to get what she wants.

Pam’s quiet spoke a thousand words, and he loved reading between her layers and the reward of her smile when she felt understood. This was a great line.
I see you are setting up a little jam roadblock. But hoping Jim listens to his own voice soon rather than that of the crowd.
