Complete story — includes the ending
As downsizing rumors swirl, paranoia takes over the members of the office. Dwight forms a " Survivor "-esque alliance with Jim against the other employees—later adding Pam also. Meanwhile, Michael arranges a morale-boosting birthday party for Supplier Relations representative Meredith Palmer ( Kate Flannery ), although her birthday is more than a month away. Michael agonizes over writing the perfect greeting in her birthday card, and in the end, his joke (and subsequent rejected ones) falls flat, ruining the party.
