When talking about weekend plans, Jim tells Pam he’s going to see Katy -1
Their conversation gets a little awkward after that: -2

The camera catches Pam putting on lip gloss +1
Jim continues to be cute and flirty with Katy as they walk to his car: -1
But Pam watches Jim and Katy with a rather wistful expression as she and Roy drive away: +2
Final score: +3, Though on the surface it seems like there’s little Jim and Pam progress, there are a few positive things to derive from this round. We get a real glimpse of Roy’s insensitivity, and how tired Pam is becoming of it. We also see Jim’s crush isn’t entirely one sided; Pam is quite jealous of Katy, and we see Pam giving Jim a bit of a longing look at the end, perhaps wishing she were the one he was going out to get drinks with.
