some things are meant to be shared…

The airport lost his luggage. So, as (former) A(to the)RM, Dwight lends Michael his toothbrush (“Hygiene in the Office” was an enlightening film). He knows Jim is looking at the camera with that hopeless look on his face, but he realizes “who cares?” because Jim doesn’t ever do anything and who knows what he wants.

Things haven’t really changed. The lighting is still the same (double checks are important) and he moved the plant back to it’s old spot and it’ll take more than one incompetent salesman sitting a few feet from his old seat to change things. Dwight is happy and Jim isn’t and he knows it. So.

He can imagine Michael’s suitcase revolving around on a carousel somewhere far away (airports have poor service, they’ve probably taken everything of value anyway). Around and around. He throws out the toothbrush when he gets it back from Michael, then lends him a new shirt. (A good salesman is nothing if not prepared.)
