the Dunder Mifflin warehouse before his wedding, but he refuses to be entertained by the stripper Michael hires. He marries Phyllis in "Phyllis' Wedding," to which all her coworkers are invited, and kicks Michael out after an embarrassing toast. Even in the wedding, he is referred to as "Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration" during their vows. In a deleted scene from "Women's Appreciation," he comes to the Dunder Mifflin office to comfort Phyllis after she is flashed, then takes her for a walk to calm her nerves. He is portrayed as an attentive and dedicated husband who is deeply in love with Phyllis. In a deleted scene from the wedding episode, Phyllis mentions "baby mama drama" because Bob's other family from Ho Chi Minh City is coming in, but this has not been mentioned otherwise. In "Crime Aid," Bob attends Michael's auction intent on winning the Bruce Springsteen tickets, but after a spirited bidding war with Dwight, ends up buying a hug from Phyllis for $1000. In "Blood Drive", he refers to Michael, Dwight, and Andy as "that jackass", "that other jackass" and "that new jackass" respectively. In "Secret Santa", Phyllis threatens to "get Bob involved" to resolve her Santa role rivalry with Michael. Jim is confused about what Bob would do at first, but appears mildly alarmed when Phyllis recants, "Never mind, I shouldn't have said that". Elbert Lapin (Hansford Rowe) is Phyllis' elderly, wheelchair user father. He appears in "Phyllis' Wedding", where he attends his daughter's wedding ceremony, and manages to build up the strength to walk Phyllis down the aisle, something which makes Michael feel upstaged, as he was pushing Elbert's wheelchair. Elbert's brother, Phyllis' Uncle Al, suffers from dementia and is mistaken for a wedding crasher by Dwight in "Phyllis' Wedding". Additionally, Phyllis' mother is mentioned in "Garage Sale" when Phyllis tells Holly Flax that she has recently moved her into assisted living. Meredith's family Jake Palmer (portrayed by Spencer Daniels) is Meredith's disrespectful and trouble-making son, whom she brings to the office in "Take Your Daughter to Work Day", after he is suspended from his school. During his time at the office, he is very rude to the staff, particularly Dwight, whom he addresses as "Mr. Poop". In order to demonstrate to Angela that he capable of enforcing discipline, Dwight is finally stern with Jake, calling him "a horrible little latchkey kid", something which upsets the
