Roy's Wedding
The episode guest stars David Denman as Roy Anderson, Michael Patrick McGill as his brother, Kenny, Robert R. Shafer as Bob Vance, and Ameenah Kaplan as Val.
The series depicts the everyday lives of office employees in the Scranton, Pennsylvania branch of the fictional Dunder Mifflin Paper Company.
Meanwhile, Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson) reacts to Nellie Bertram's (Catherine Tate) mandatory charity initiative by announcing he will donate to the Taliban.
"Roy's Wedding" was viewed by an estimated 4.13 million viewers and received a 2.1 rating/6 percent share among adults between the ages of 18 and 49.
During his wedding toast, Roy stuns his bride by performing "She's Got a Way" by Billy Joel on the piano; he told her he was taking boxing lessons as a cover for learning some music.
Dwight Schrute angrily reacts to Nellie Bertram's mandatory charity initiative by maintaining that he will donate the money he raises to the Global Relief Foundation, a front for the Taliban.
Subsequently, she steals Dwight's pen and challenges him to cut her hand off for doing so, hoping he will capitulate and pick a legitimate charity.
After receiving some not-so-helpful advice from her coworkers—especially Andy Bernard and Darryl, who is now assistant regional manager—Clark invites Erin to his apartment for the fake audition.
Andy ends up throwing himself into the fake plan and dismissing Erin, who goes out for dinner with Pete and enjoys time spent with him.
"[6] The episode's subplot was announced by showrunner Greg Daniels early on via a press release; he noted that Dwight would be trying to spite Nellie by trying to donate to the Taliban.
[12] Bonnie Stiernberg of Paste was not so positive, saying the whole episode and season storyline was "predictable" and a "wasted opportunity", and that it ultimately did not live up to the producers' promise to "shake things up in Scranton".
McNutt wrote that, while Tate had given a "rather subtle and charming performance", the Nellie-Dwight subplot felt like "a leftover idea" from the previous season.
[11] Tedder, on the other hand, liked the Dwight-Nellie subplot for its silliness, concluding that "ongoing plotlines are great, but it's still the little things on this show".
[12] Stiernberg, on the other hand, considered the whole plot to be "too icky and unfunny" and that the aftermath of Pete and Erin's dinner together was "predictable".
