The Office Season 9 Episodes
Season 9 Episode Guide
28 Episodes 2012 - 2013
Season 9 is the last for the long-running NBC hit mockumentary, and many of the story lines work to bring closure for the series' main characters. Two new employees, Clark (Clark Duke) and Pete (Jake Lacy), are introduced in the season premiere. They are brought on board to handle the enormous number of customer complaints that former customer service representative Kelly Kapoor (Mindy Kaling) neglected over the years. Later, Jim (John Krasinski) and Pam's (Jenna Fischer) marriage is put to the ultimate test as they struggle with a new career opportunity Jim pursues without prior approval from his wife. Also: Andy (Ed Helms) goes AWOL for weeks on a soul-searching voyage aboard his family's yacht, and leaves girlfriend Erin (Ellie Kemper) high and dry. As the season and series draw to a close, Dwight (Rainn Wilson) and Angela's (Angela Kinsey) romance comes to a head, and everyone in the office anxiously anticipates the screening of the ten-years in the making PBS documentary of their lives, "The Office: An American Workplace." Series stars John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer, Rainn Wilson and Ed Helms are all credited as producers for the final season. Guest stars include: Steve Carell, Roseanne Barr, Joan Cusack and Ed Begley, Jr.
