In the process, she refers to herself as "old Pammy," only to pause and say, "And don't call me Pammy." The distaste for the nickname is abrupt and seems to hint at a backstory that viewers don't get to see. In particular, at one earlier point in the episode "Cocktails," Pam informs the camera crew that she's trying to be more confident. Either way, it's one of the best - and most difficult - details to catch. Scott himself? If it's the latter, it could very well be a quiet cry for help from a man who's spent far too many nights alone, recovering from one emotional blow after another. The question is, has he always sported this unique billfold? Or is this a personal crafting project recently executed by Mr. Except that, if you look closely, the edges of the wallet are actually bedazzled with colorful sequins. It's a ways away, and at first glance, there's nothing to see.

When Scott goes to pay for his coffee, he pulls out a brown, masculine-looking wallet. When Pam offers one, he finds himself meeting Margaret at a local coffee shop, and here's where the magical detail comes into play. Instead, he forces his employees to give him romance recommendations. Does he act on this by asking someone he knows out on a date? Absolutely not. Once Jan exits the picture halfway through the season, Michael decides that it's time for a fresh start. Which begs the question, once they got it down, why did they keep it so long? The artwork in question? The creepy clown. As the camera pans from one display table to the next, there are a couple of points in the filming where eagle-eyed viewers can catch a quick glimpse of a painting propped up in front of the Halperts' booth.

In the tour, he shows a creepy clown painting that he tries in vain to remove from the wall, pointing out that it's "apparently crucial to the structural integrity of the building." At the end of the episode, Pam asks if it's really stuck, and Jim reiterates that he "really can't move him."Īt that point, the situation seems wrapped up - at least until that cold day in season 7 when the Scranton branch employees decide to throw a garage sale. As Jim scrambles to complete the sale before his fiancée finds out, we watch Halpert give us a quick tour of his childhood home. In the season 5 episode "Frame Toby," Jim pulls off the ultimate romantic gesture (or maybe it's not so romantic?) by buying his parents' house for himself and Pam to live in.
