Interestingly, the two episodes most pivotal to Pam’s new life weren’t even directed by series’ regulars, as outsiders Josh Whedon ("Buffy, the Vampire Slayer") and J.J. Abrams ("Alias") lent a hand on "Business School" and "Cocktails," respectively. Helming an episode of the office seems to be a draw now, after Paul Feig ("Freaks and Geeks") stepping in during Season Two, and Whedon and Abrams were joined by Harold Ramis and Roger Nygard (Trekkies) this time around. Their turns at Dunder-Mifflin fit in perfectly with the work of the usual gang, including Greg Daniels, Ken Whittingham and Ken Kwapis, who pulled the long straw it seems, getting the seat behind the camera for the premiere and finale.
