Ok, so this one is interesting for sure. Starting out with the way Jim reacted to her question. Awww, Jim. Yeah, that probably stung even if she doesn't quite figure it out. She's still drunk after all. However, he does take care of her nicely. Gets her food, gets her home, all of that. But then the thoughts (and vomit) start to come up. She's got a lot on her mind for sure. This time around it feels like a simple apology from Roy to her and from her to Roy just doesn't quite cut it. Same with her thinking about how she still basically just goes along with what Roy wants. She's not done getting ready but they have to leave. He'll only go out with her if his buddies aren't doing anything. He comments they're almost out of milk, she's the one who says she'll go shopping. There's an imbalance there and it feels like she's feeling it more and more.
Also feels like the reason is because she's comparing Roy to Jim and more and more finding Jim lacking. Should be really interesting to see where we go from here.

OUCH. We clearly crushed Jim's fragile beating heart a little here. I mean, the wondering was probably torturous, but this casts a shadow over the whole thing.
“Oh, come on. No one deserves that.” Dwight. Dwight deserves that.
"You had a few of Roy’s nachos, but then he got mad and said you should have ordered your own appetizer." On the one hand, Roy sucks. On the other hand, order your own damn food, lady.
"Even the first time the two of you had lunch together, which was like two days after you met, he insisted on paying. You don’t think he had even met Roy yet." DAMMIT PAM.
"You realize that you’ve been getting into the habit of just apologizing when things get tense between you and Roy, hoping that an I’m sorry will smooth things out. It’s always easy to find something you could have done or said differently, and this situation is certainly no exception." Oooooof. This is... very Pam.
"You know that if this were any other situation, all it would take is a ten-minute conversation with Jim, and you would know exactly what to do." Your guardian angel is weeping, BEGGING you to take the hint.
Pam turning to Dwight can't possibly be a *good* idea. But it seems like it could be an extremely *entertaining* idea, and also like Pam would much rather do that than talk to Jim. So...

*Jim smiles and rolls his eyes before handing you the rest of his Baja Blast. “Here. Second drink.”* I love this hahaha
*You were so angry with Roy when the evening started. All you could think about was how he only listens to you after he’s made a decision, and then he gets mad if your side doesn’t perfectly align with his."* What a perfect way to describe Roy.
*You’re starting to wonder if Roy’s been doing the same thing, just for different reasons. You’re so receptive to an apology from him that even an insubstantial one is enough for you to convince yourself that you’re not upset anymore.* Ding ding ding!

Idk why I chose this one first... we all know that I would have went the "break up with Roy" route lol
But I did it anyway... guess I'm on my way to talk to Jim
