The Office: Superfans Episode That Proves Jan Didn't Ruin Michael's Finances

The Office: Superfans Episode That Proves Jan Didn't Ruin Michael's Finances
Published 2 years ago on Feb 18, 2023

Fans of "The Office" might hate it when Michael Scott (Steve Carell) leaves Dunder Mifflin to be with Holly Flax (Amy Ryan), but most agree that Holly is a much better partner for him than Jan Levinson (Melora Hardin).

From the beginning of their relationship, things are a bit unorthodox between Jan and Michael. She is, after all, his superior. As things progress, this power dynamic starts to become a problem. Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) and some of the other Scranton workers see it for themselves in Season 4, Episode 13 ("Dinner Party") when Michael shares some concerning tidbits about their living situation. For example, since Jan has some personal space issues, he sleeps at the foot of the bed like a pet dog.

Therefore, in Season 4, Episode 8 ("Money Part 2"), which sees Michael blame his severe credit card debt on Jan, it's almost easy to believe him. When accountant Oscar Martinez (Oscar Nuñez) sits down with Michael to go over his charges, he tells Oscar, "She has my credit cards and she's using them as if I'm made of money. She thinks I'm a human ATM machine."

In the original episode, it's unsaid what exactly Jan is purchasing with his credit cards. It is revealed, however, that Michael dropped $125 on Amazon for a "Best of the Muppet Show" DVD set. Yet in the extended "Superfans" edition, it's clear that Jan is actually more responsible than Michael when it comes to money.

Jan used Michael's credit cards to buy necessities for their home

The same scene between Michael and Oscar is featured in the extended "Superfans" cut, but it includes a big reveal of how Jan is using her boyfriend's credit cards. In disgust, Michael tells Oscar that $218 was spent at Target for washcloths and sheets, and $178 was spent at Kmart for glasses and silverware. Michael asks, "Who needs an entire set of silverware?"
