Jan (Melora Hardin) tells Michael that corporate will not pay for the party since they already paid for one party that year. Dwight overhears the women in the office laughing about something that was written about Michael in the women's restroom and takes it upon himself to find out exactly what was written. The Dunder-Mifflin employees arrive at Chili's and are dismayed to learn that they have to pay for their own food and alcohol since the party is not being paid for.
