    My guess was either Wallace or the guy from Prometheus. Or maybe it was just what I was hoping for. Lucky guess.

    Dwight was having free family portraits to entice Angela to bring in her baby so he could get a sample of DNA, she was onto him though. He left a message at the senators office and he brought the baby. After a couple of failed attempts he finally gets his hands on a disposed dirty diaper of said baby and in a wild car chase between he and Angela, successfully delivers it to a hospital for testing where he and Angela patiently wait 72 hours for the results. (while making out)

    Andy convinced David Wallace to buy Sabre thus making him owner of Dunder Mifflin and made Andy manager again. (Backstory: David Wallace sold the 'Suck It' idea to the military for a lot of money)

    Two old warehouse workers came back after they spent all of their lotto winnings on a terrible coconut penis flavored drink investment. Also, that one chick that is the foreman(her name escapes me at the moment) dumps her boyfriend (the guy who owns a restaurant) for Darryl (the guy who looks like he ate a restaurant).

    I think that is pretty much all of the main story.

    Interesting that the finale kind of "reset" the series a bit. I don't want to throw too many spoilers out there given that the episode was just earlier tonight, but several old faces are back, storylines from the shows better seasons are back in the fold and other, newer cast members appear to be headed out.

    The only new one that appears out is Robert California. Everyone else (Val, Nellie, the Senator) all had advances in their story lines that will keep them around for longer.

    I really didn't like Robert anyways. At first, his character was too serious and out of place. He only started getting funny when they turned him into this out of control sexual deviant.

    His best time on the show was the cameo in last season's finale. Did not live up to expectations.

    You forgot Oscar. At the end, the senator walks up to Oscar where they are alone and asks why he didn't call. Then mouths (call?) I think. Pretty much confirmed he was gay.

    Yeah, before his laid-off episode actually the most insanely accurate portrayal of a manager on the show; then Jan, Gabe and Toby.

    I really think he would have worked out better if he was the office manager instead of the CEO or whatever. I never really understood his place in the show. He comes in to interview for the manager position, then all the sudden he's the CEO?

    Andy getting manager never made sense to me. They should have kept everything the same except replaced Michael with Robert. Done.

    I've loved pretty much everything Spader has ever done, so maybe I'm a bit biased. He should have played the character just like his character in Pretty In Pink. Just a snobby, pretentious DOUCHEBAG who is constantly playing mind games with everyone in the office just to entertain himself.
