Previous Round, Hot Girl: We caught a glimpse of Roy’s insensitivity, and finally saw a real sign that Pam returns Jim’s crush when she was clearly envious of the attention Jim gave Katy the purse girl, resulting in a final score of +3.

Final Score: +8, Between the early departure of Roy, and alcohol allowing Pam act a less inhibited, this certainly was the “Best Dundies” ever for both Jim and Pam. However, Pam’s inhibitions (and awareness of the cameras) were already returning by the end of the round and we never do learn what she was thinking about asking Jim in the Parking Lot. Regardless, it was a great round.
