Synopsis

It's Halloween and the office plans a "Haunted House" for the children in the community. Michael (Steve Carell) dresses as "Dick in a Box", Dwight as Billy the Puppet from Saw, Jim (John Krasinski) with the word "book" written on his face (a play on Facebook), Pam (Jenna Fischer) as Rosemary Woodhouse from Rosemary's Baby, Ryan as Edward Cullen, Andy (Ed Helms) as Michael Jackson, Creed (Creed Bratton) as Count Dracula, Kevin (Brian Baumgartner) as Paul Blart, Angela (Angela Kinsey) as a black widow, Oscar (Oscar Nuñez) as Sarah Palin, Kelly (Mindy Kaling) as Leeloo from The Fifth Element, Erin (Ellie Kemper) as Princess Fiona from Shrek, Phyllis (Phyllis Smith) as a fortune teller, and Meredith (Kate Flannery) as a hobo. Darryl (Craig Robinson), referred to as the "gangster pumpkin" by Michael, gets almost everyone's costume wrong and Michael scares the children by pretending to be hanged and giving them a lecture about suicide.

Jim sets up a meeting with a client, who requests that Michael comes with him. Jim is upset since he wants to be able to do meetings by himself. When they come back from the meeting, Michael is soaked because he fell into a koi pond, and when that fact is revealed to the rest of the office, they start to make fun of him. Michael holds a sensitivity meeting, where he asks everyone to say things they wish were not said about them. When the meeting doesn't seem to be going anywhere, Jim ends it and tells Michael to embrace the fact that he fell in. He starts admitting this to the rest of the office, as well as many other embarrassing stories from his life before realizing he's said too much. Meredith receives a copy of the security tape showcasing Michael's fall, and it is revealed that Jim let him fall into the koi pond. Jim admits to Michael that he wished he had gone by himself because he wants to be able to do things by himself as a co-manager. Jim then becomes the victim of office mocking, but he and Michael laugh it off later.

Meanwhile, Pam and Andy go cold calling to drum up more sales as they have the lowest sales numbers in the branch. At the first place they go to, the receptionist notices Pam's pregnancy and believes Andy is the father. Pam laughs it off, mildly offending Andy. During the meeting, the client also assumes that Andy is the father, to which Andy laughs it off and insults Pam. At the next place they go to, that client also assumes Andy is the father, and this time they play along with it. However, Andy takes it too far by touching her belly too much. In the car back to the office, Andy admits that he enjoyed pretending to be the father because he doesn't like being single. He then admits his attraction to Erin. At the end of the episode, Pam asks Erin her opinion of Andy, and she responds by saying that he is the "coolest guy in the world".
