And besides, there’s a more appropriate one-off foil being played by Rob Riggle, who manages to spark an immediate and satisfying rivalry with The Office’s star. Captain Jack taps directly into Michael’s control issues, bringing out a heightened version of the guy who fights so desperately to steer every discussion in the conference room. By the time he’s mixing motivational analogies with Titanic plot lines, it’s evident that the rest of the world isn’t prepared for the Michael Scott style of management.

Brenda joins the Scranton office on the "Booze Cruise", ostensibly to evaluate Michael's "leadership training exercise" with an eye towards possible having Michael give it to the other branches. More likely, she was sent by Jan to keep tabs on Michael and make sure the cruise does have a legitimate business purpose. Her presence on the cruise pressures Michael to repeatedly interrupt the festivities to give another lesson in business leadership. "In season 2, on the deleted scenes on the DVD, I play a guitar in the episode 'Booze Cruise.' It was just too long for the episode," said Bratton in an interview with Vanity Fair. The story for "Booze Cruise" was inspired by a friend of B. Novak told Daniels about the trip, and Daniels then proceeded to write an episode about it.
Behind the scenes
At a deeper level, that’s the aim he truly cares about. On the deck, Jim, heartbroken, confesses his feelings for Pam to Michael. Meredith and Captain Jack go at it, sexually, pretty good in the steering room.
You see, Michael sent out a memo stating that the staff should pack for their "first quarter camaraderie event" and to bring a toothbrush, a swimsuit, rubber soled shoes and a ski mask. Unfortunately, it seems like this particular scene isn't available on YouTube or Peacock, though it has actually been uploaded to TikTok courtesy of nick_the_it_guy. Just as Creed described, the scene is extremely long but shows off just how much he can rock — much to Michael's annoyance.
“Booze Cruise”/“The Injury”
Hands tied, captain’s cap stripped away, all he has are his instincts. His advice to Jim—“Never ever, ever, ever give up”—still reeks of cliché, but it also hits the target Michael’s been aiming for all episode. The next line—“It’s a fake wheel, dummy”—consciously cuts through the treacle, but the sentiment lingers. “Booze Cruise” is a culmination of several threads, but it’s the beginning of a new phase in Jim and Michael’s relationship.
After he learns that the captain of the boat has other plans, a power struggle emerges. Meanwhile, Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer) and Roy's (David Denman) previously stagnant relationship blossoms, while Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) and Katy's (Amy Adams) begins to falter. Except, that is, when he’s speaking from the heart. The most important moment of “Booze Cruise” isn’t the dance contest or Roy setting the wedding date or Dwight “steering” the ship—it’s Michael putting all his bullshit aside to motivate, inspire, and cheer up a colleague.
Pam, not impressed, refuses to do one and asks Roy to go somewhere quieter. While boarding the ship, the captain quickly pulls rank and deflates Michael. Jim wins his bet as Michael does yell, "I'm king of the world". Jim bets the camera that Michael will stand on the front of the boat and yell "I'm king of the world" in the first hour. The episode opens with Dwight, who is incensed that Jim has put all of his possessions in the vending machine. Pam puts in some money and buys Dwight's pencil cup, to his great dismay.

Yet the more it moves past the premise and digs more into Michael’s petulance and the Bizzaro World where Pam and Dwight are “kinda” friends, the more “The Injury” finds its bearings within the universe of The Office. The reveal that title applies equally to the regional manager and the assistant to the regional manager isn’t the episode’s first bait-and-switch—“The Injury” sets itself up as an old-school, high-concept laffer, then shows its true, character-driven stripes. There are moments where the pacing of the episode is so propulsive, it seems more like a perfect sitcom episode and less like a perfect episode of this particular sitcom. But then the action arrives at something like the gorgeously patient sequence between Ryan, Toby, and Michael in the kitchen—captured by director Bryan Gordon in a single take and a handful of whip pans—and the episode finds its feet firmly planted in familiar, Scrantonian soil. Their onscreen lives revolve around the workplace, but as subsequent seasons explored (to varying degrees of success), there’s more for them outside the parking-lot gates.
When Michael falsely declares that the ship is sinking as a training exercise, his employees understand Michael's antics and stay put. However, the other passengers panic, one of them grabbing a life vest and jumping off the ship. The captain temporarily detains Michael by zip tying him to the railing on the deck outside. The season 2 episode "Booze Cruise" saw the members of the office going out for a company bonding exercise on a cruise across Lake Wallenpaupack, which Michael Scott had inexplicably booked for the middle of January. Most of the episode is devoted to Michael's futile attempts to give a leadership seminar in spite of the ongoing party aboard the ship, though Creed Bratton says that there was another scene that didn't make the final cut which would've shown off some of his skills on the guitar. The staff eagerly awaits for Michael to come to work and tell them where they are going this afternoon.
They hint at the fact that there’s something human behind those wire-rim specs, a person who could legitimately befriend Jim and Pam if he didn’t always have his guard up. Concussion Dwight gets the kind of information out of the character that would typically come out in a talking head; it’s great to see the show circumvent a convention it was always in danger of using as a crutch. Wilson’s performance even stays fun and funny after the script requires him to go full-on loopy. If “that’s what she said” wasn’t already established as part of the Office lexicon in “Sexual Harassment,” it certainly was by the time Concussion Dwight steals Michael’s favorite joke—and actually manages to get a laugh with it. The series depicts the everyday lives of office employees in the Scranton, Pennsylvania branch of the fictional Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. In the episode, Michael Scott (Steve Carell) brings the office on a booze cruise and plans on doing some "motivational" speaking.
Although the extended length of this clip probably justified its removal from the episode, it's still an amazing display of talent from the hilarious Creed Bratton. The Dunder Mifflin crew goes on a cruise on a Lake Wallenpaupack ship Princess—in January. Michael Scott (Steve Carell) plans to use the cruise as both a party and a leadership training exercise. However, "Captain Jack" (Rob Riggle) keeps preventing him from giving a business lecture and compromises his metaphor involving himself as "captain" of the office.
Captain Jack shows Dwight to the front of the boat where there is a fake wheel. After hearing a war story from the captain, a drunken Roy Anderson (David Denman) is inspired to announce a date for his wedding with Pam. Jim is crushed and breaks up with Katy, realizing that he does not want to be with her. He confesses his feelings for Pam to Michael, who acts surprised and claims Jim hid his feelings well. If he had just waited and heard what I had to say, he would be motivated right now, and not all wet. In talking to Captain Jack, Roy seems to have a moment of drunken clarity and takes the microphone and declares a wedding date.
