That's an interesting way to take this and I like it. Jim and Pam being a lot more friendly post-Merger than what is normally seen. Granted living right down the hall and Pam not really wanting to give up on him probably has a lot to do with that.
There's Jim (and Pam's) old nemisis non-communication coming up again. This time though it seems Jim is the one not telling Karen. Though that's also somewhat in keeping with canon. Pam pushing Jim to reveal everything to Jim is new though. Really interested to seeing how that turns out.
Nice job with this one.
Author's Response: Thank you! Jim not telling Karen right away is definitely inspired by canon but it all gets more complicated since here he lives down the hall from Pam and can’t help but get sucked into their friendship again. And I was always intrigued by the Pam/Karen friendship so I wanted to pull on that a little more here.

What do I think? I think Jim is being more of a jerk than usual if he's still dating Karen and being besties with Pam without telling Karen. Like, I guess, more of a jerk to Karen and less to Pam than usual? Also I respect the heck out of this version of Pam. Nice work, and yes I am very eager to see your cliffhanger resolve.
Author's Response: I did make him kind of a jerk, huh? It was just hard to imagine that he wouldn’t get sucked right back into his friendship with Pam if she was only down the hall all the time. And I added a little “girl power Pam” because I’ve kind always felt bad for both Pam AND Karen in season 3.
