Hvilken episode i sæson 3 mødes jim og pam?
The Job
Pam Beesly
Pam deltager i en kunstudstilling, men kun få mennesker deltager. Hendes kollega, Oscar, har sin partner med, som ikke ved, at Pam står bag ham, og som kritiserer hendes arbejde ved at proklamere, at "ægte kunst kræver mod". Oscar fortsætter derefter med at sige, at mod ikke er en af Pams stærke sider. Påvirket af denne udtalelse fortæller Pam dokumentarholdet, at hun vil være mere ærlig, hvilket kulminerer i en dramatisk kuldegalej under sæsonens næstsidste afsnit "Beach Games" og en tilsyneladende oprigtig tale til Jim foran hele kontoret om deres forhold. Michael kommer også til kunstudstillingen og afslører sit uberegneligt venlige hjerte og sin loyalitet ved at købe, indramme og hænge Pams tegning af Dunder Mifflin-bygningen op på kontoret. I sæsonfinalen "The Job" efterlader hun en venlig note i Jims mappe og et gammelt minde, der forestiller yoghurtlåget med "guldmedalje" fra Office-OL, som han ser under en jobsamtale i New York City. Mens han bliver spurgt, hvordan han "ville fungere her i New York", vises det, at Jim har tankerne tilbage i Scranton, stadig distraheret af tanken om Pam. Jim trækker sit navn tilbage fra overvejelserne og kører tilbage til kontoret, hvor han afbryder et talkshow, som Pam er ved at lave for dokumentarholdet, ved at invitere hende ud til middag. Hun accepterer gladeligt og tydeligt bevæget og opgiver at tænke på, at hun ville have det fint, hvis Jim fik jobbet og aldrig kom tilbage til Scranton. Karen siger kort efter op og bliver regionschef i Dunder Mifflins Utica-afdeling.
The Job
Pam Beesly
Pam participates in an art show, but few people attend. Her co-worker, Oscar, brings his partner along who, not knowing that Pam is standing behind him, criticizes her work by proclaiming that "real art requires courage." Oscar then goes on to say that courage isn't one of Pam's strong points. Affected by this statement, Pam tells the documentary crew that she is going to be more honest, culminating in a dramatic coal walk during the next-to-last episode of the season, "Beach Games", and a seemingly sincere speech to Jim in front of the entire office about their relationship. Michael also comes to the art show and reveals his erratically kind heart and loyalty by buying, framing and hanging Pam's drawing of the Dunder Mifflin building in the office. In the season finale, "The Job," she leaves a friendly note in Jim's briefcase and an old memento depicting the 'gold medal' yogurt lid from the Office Olympics, which he sees during an interview for a job at Corporate in New York City. While he is asked how he "would function here in New York", Jim is shown to have his mind back in Scranton, still distracted by the thought of Pam. Jim withdraws his name from consideration and drives back to the office, where he interrupts a talking head Pam is doing for the documentary crew by asking her out for dinner. She happily accepts, visibly moved, abandoning a train of thought about how she would be fine if Jim got the job and never came back to Scranton. Karen quits soon after, becoming the regional manager at Dunder Mifflin's Utica branch.
