* ArsonMurderAndAdmiration: Angela is accused of writing a passive aggressive note on the microwave. She rants about how it was rude, condescending and snotty... so she's very upset that she can't claim credit for it.

(Michael attempted to buy real marijuana from some loading dock workers, but they just gave him their lunch and told him it was weed.)
