Recap / The Office USS 6 E 5 Niagara Part 2

Go To

The two-part episode revolves around the wedding of Jim and Pam at Niagara Falls. Not all goes smoothly when Jim accidentally reveals Pam's pregnancy to all the guests, including Pam's very old-fashioned grandmother, and Andy injures his scrotum while dancing. Meanwhile, Michael and Dwight both try to hook up with women, with mixed results. Jim and Pam flee the church after a series of mishaps and Michael and Helene bond over their failed relationships.


This episode provides examples of:

  • Amusing Injuries: Andy's torn scrotum leaves him reliant on a walker. He still tries to join in the aisle dance despite being barely able to move.
  • Break the Cutie: After having to deal with a disapproving grandmother, divorced parents, a pregnancy and Andy's injury, it's a torn veil that makes Pam cry.
  • Call-Back: Jim and Pam get married on a boat by the captain, which was brought up in "Booze Cruise".
  • The Comically Serious: Angela as always. She just walks down the aisle rather than dance, which raises the question of why she's even participating.
  • Contrived Coincidence: Dwight getting Isabel's interest causes Pam to do a double-take when she's in her wedding veil. The veil snags on a splinter and tears, which causes Pam to have a breakdown. She calls Jim and he takes her away from their planned wedding to elope on a boat.
  • Groin Attack: Andy does the splits at a pre-wedding party and tears his scrotum (due to him landing right on his car keys).
  • Hope Spot: When Jim and Pam are late for their own wedding, Toby gleefully speculates that they called it quits at the last minute. Then Jim and Pam run in and he just gives up.
  • My Own Private "I Do": Jim and Pam sneak away and get married on The Maid of the Mist when they get fed up with their guests' antics. They do come back and ultimately enjoy the Michael-Scott-ified ceremony with their friends and family.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Jim letting slip that Pam is pregnant, right in front of her disapproving grandmother.
  • Not Distracted by the Sexy: Dwight loses interest in Isabel after sleeping with her. When he tells Michael that he's found twins, it turns out he wasn't talking about two equally hot women, but two identical overweight men. Dwight's tone of voice makes it sound like he's aroused by the sight of twins no matter what.
  • The Pig-Pen: Kevin's shoes were considered so smelly the hotel staff had them destroyed over health concerns. He has to wear tissue boxes to the wedding.
  • Shout-Out:
  • What Does She See in Him?: Isabel takes an interest in Dwight, who loses interest right after sleeping with her. Michael - who was trying to get with Isabel - is annoyed that Dwight took her for granted. Even when Dwight accidentally kicks her in the face she's still interested.
