About this episode

The episode reflects on the emotional farewell of Steve Carrell's character in 'The Office' and the significance of goodbyes in relationships.

At the end of Steve Carrell’s time on the TV show “The Office,” his last episode ends with him leaving to go to Colorado to meet his soon to be wife a day earlier than everyone thought he was leaving. During the episode, he tries to bond with each person in his or their own special way. Well, at the end, it’s nearing 4:00 when he is about to head to the airport and only Jim figures out that it’s his last day. Michael turns after he puts on his overcoat and stares across the office looking at all his office mates one last time. They are obliviously continuing their work, as you would expect if there was nothing you suspected was different. No one looked at him except to say have a good night, or see you tomorrow or whatever departing salutation you’d say to someone you’d expect to see again. Then Jim looked at him and gave him the head nod of approval to get on out of there. #christjesus #love #pray #prayer #gaintheworld #jesus #church #christ #newepisode #churchofchrist #TheOneTrueGod #willard #chroniclesofwillard
