 After several failed attempted firings of other employees , Michael calls Creed Bratton ( played by Creed Bratton as a fictional version of himself ) into his office to fire him . Creed , in turn , convinces Michael to let Devon ( Devon Abner ) go . After Michael fires Devon , Devon angrily rebuffs Michael 's attempts to save their friendship , and invites everyone in the office ( except Michael , Creed , Dwight and Angela ) to join him at a local bar . As Jim leaves , Pam apologizes for pushing him into taking the Cumberland job and assures him that she would " blow her brains out " if he ever left . Jim admits to the camera that Pam is the only thing keeping him there . When the group leaves the office , Devon smashes a pumpkin over Michael 's car in revenge .
