Jim and Pam privately are shown the footage of them taken at the end of Part One. He is disappointed to find no evidence, but the camera crew discovers Pam pulling over to a curb a block away and picking up Jim.

The combination of Meredith's accident, Sprinkles' death, and the virus on Pam's computer convinces Michael that the office is cursed. Upon the group's return to the office, Dwight unceremoniously informs Angela that her cat is dead, but is now "in a better place" (specifically, Angela's freezer).
