Boom roasted the office script Patch#

Pam Beesly's ( Jenna Fischer) parents are going through a rough patch in their marriage, and PamвЂ™s father is staying with her and Jim Halpert ( John Krasinski). Michael hands the stress reader to Oscar Martinez ( Oscar Nunez) and is horrified when the same result occurs. However, Michael soon realizes he is actually the source of his employees' stress when the beeping of StanleyвЂ™s stress reader quickens the closer Michael gets to him. With tensions running high in the office, Michael tries to calm his workers down with yoga and meditation sessions. Dwight is ordered to apologize to his co-workers and get signatures acknowledging that they forgive him, but after he openly declares that his apology is insincere and denies that he is responsible for Stanley's heart attack, they refuse to sign. The session ends badly when Dwight destroys the expensive CPR dummy and wears its face, earning another rebuke from David Wallace. Michael arranges for a CPR training session for the employees, but they are too easily distracted and the lesson proves fruitless. After Stanley is released from the hospital, his doctors warn him to keep his stress levels under control to avoid further damaging his health. Dwight is subsequently reprimanded by Dunder Mifflin CFO David Wallace ( Andy Buckley), and Michael Scott ( Steve Carell) strips him of his position as safety officer. Dwight eventually reveals it was just a drill, but Stanley Hudson ( Leslie David Baker) suffers a heart attack and collapses in the commotion. Dwight calmly explains the proper safety procedures as the panicked employees try to flee, smash windows, ram the photocopier into doors, crawl through the ceiling by removing tiles, and destroy office equipment.
