* StunnedSilence: After witnessing Dwight asking Angela about their later meeting to [[UnusualEuphemism "discuss finances"]], only to have her warn him to not "expect any cookie", we cut to Ryan on ConfessionCam, but he says nothing. He just has a flabbergasted, wide-eyed "What the hell did I just watch?" expression

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Michael acts like a brat over everyone being more concerned over Kevin's cancer test, but when he mistakenly thinks Kevin's test results indicate he does have cancer Michael breaks down and hugs him while promising that he's going to beat it.

* TheCastShowoff: Michael gets to show off his skating skills. And, GeniusDitz that he is, he's amazing. True out of universe, too- Creator/SteveCarell is SO good at ice-skating that the episode was written specifically to allow him to show off his skills (Michael's Threat Level Midnight movie is set at an ice rink for the same reason).
