<sod>Jim later talks about it to Kelly, who is uncharacteristically terse with him. Listening in on the conversation, Pam points out the oddness of Kelly's manner and encourages Jim to investigate. When asking [[Ryan Howard (The Office)|Ryan]] ([[B. J. Novak]]) about Kelly's recent behavior, Jim notices that Ryan has a coffee mug with his face on it, which is something he had noticed [[Andy Bernard|Andy]] ([[Ed Helms]]) also had earlier. Ryan explains that the mugs were party favors at an ''[[America's Got Talent]]'' viewing party Kelly had over the summer. Jim discovers that everyone in the office has one, except for him and Dwight, as they did not attend the party, and he deduces that Kelly tampered with their reports out of spite. Jim and Dwight have Michael confront her about this, and she ultimately comes clean regarding the reports. After dismissing Dwight and Jim, Michael pretends to confront Kelly about her deceit, but actually empathizes with her because he too has trouble getting people to come to his house parties.<eod>
