Jo Bennett is spending her last day at the Scranton office, and Michael Scott thinks he has earned her favor after some small talk.
The rest of the office is unhappy when Jo forces them to stay late, as she has an unpredictable work schedule.
Michael is particularly upset, as he made plans to meet Todd Packer at a bar for St. Patrick's Day.
In a bid to preserve "Megadesk", he tells Jim about how he and his cousin Mose never saw their fathers when they were young.
Jim (surprised that Dwight's cheap manipulations are working) wishes he was at home with his newborn daughter.
In its original American broadcast, "St. Patrick's Day" was watched by 7.51 million viewers, with a 3.8 rating and an 11 share in the 18–49 demographic.
