Jim leaves town, determined to get his mind off Pam and start over again. Meanwhile, Pam finds herself questioning her decision to get married.

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.

Pam has a bit too much to drink at Jim’s BBQ and ends up being the last one to leave. JAM smut inspired by the deleted scenes from Email Surveillence.

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.

The documentary crew can't be expected to capture everything. In secret, stolen moments away from the lenses and booms, Jim and Pam shared much more than we ever thought they did. This is what might have happened, between takes, on days off, and after the cameras went home.

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.
