The Office Season 3 Finale

Tomorrow night is the Season 3 finale of The Office. All I know about it for sure is that the title of the episode is The Job. However, I've worked out some predictions for the episode based on some clues from the past few episodes and common sense. These are probably way off, but here are my predictions:

1. Jan will find out that she is pregnant with Michael's baby. (Ok, there haven't been many hints for this except Jan's mood swings and her telling Michael that she felt sick in the car after David Wallace's party at the end of Cocktails. But I accidentally read part of a spoilerish interview with Jenna Fischer where she said that in the season finale Michael and Jan got some lifechanging news. An unexpected pregnancy seems to fit that billl perfectly.)

2. The corporate job that Michael, Jim, and Karen are interviewing for with David Wallace will be offered to Jim.

3. News of this will quickly spread to the Scranton branch, where people will have disparate reactions to the news. Andy and Dwight will start gearing up for the fight to become Michael's new #2. Pam will feel regret for not telling Jim how she felt sooner. And with Jim out of the picture once again, Toby will finally work up the gumption to ask Pam out. Since Jim will be leaving Scranton, she decides she needs to move on, and accepts.

4. Jim is flattered to be offered the job but after thinking about things, particularly Pam's confession in front of everyone that he is the reason she called off her wedding, Jim decides to decline the job, and recommends to David Wallace that he give the job to Karen instead.

5. Karen is offered and accepts the job, ignorant that Jim turned it down. She tells Jim, who acts surprised, and is happy for her. They talk about him moving to New York with her, but after talking things through they mutually decide to breakup, amicably.

6. After driving back to Scranton Jim decides to go to Pam's apartment to tell her that Karen got the job and they're not dating anymore. He rings the doorbell and who should answer the door but Toby Flenderson. Jim's floored but tries to play it cool, and Pam comes to the door and he makes up some excuse for stopping by and leaves.
