This one was a tough one. I wanted to focus on Jim and Pam, since that's my favorite storyline. They've been through so many hard times, and it was hard to choose one episode. For example, I almost chose Stairmageddon (Season 9 Episode 19), the one where they're having communication issues and go to couples counseling. However, I think this one (Season 2 Episode 21) is more consistently sad. It's ironic that the title is Conflict Resolution, because everything is more exasperated than actually resolved. Not just Jim and Pam, either; everyone else seems to have issues raised with other people in the office. It was also scary to see the fragility of Jim and Pam's relationship here, because nothing was declared between them yet. It's painful to watch, but necessary to the big picture of the show's story.
