* BatmanGambit: Dwight pulls one on Jim. He gifts him a wooden duck with a recording device taped underneath, for the express purpose of spying on him. Jim finds out and confronts Dwight, who admits he did it because he was jealous of Jim getting a promotion. Later, when the other employees leave, Dwight scampers to Jim's office and reveals that he had previously hidden a microphone inside the pen he gave Jim at the beginning of the episode. Dwight wanted Jim to find the recording device in the wooden mallard, to give him a false sense of security. He smugly announces that he has eight hours of recording.
