Holly Flax
Hollis Partridge "Holly" Flax made her first apperence in the episode "Goodbye Toby" and her last appearance in "Garage Sale". she was originally a replacement for Toby when he decided to move to Costa Rica. Unlike Toby, she shares the same sense of humor as Michael. When Michael first met her he thought that she would be a female Toby, but then fell in love with her. They started dating until David Wallace found out and decided to transfer Holly to the Nashua branch Holly then broke up with Michael saying it was "too hard". She then started dating AJ, whom Michael hated deeply. Holly does not appear in Season 6, but is mentioned many times by Michael, who still has feelings for her. Her return is hinted at in the season finale, "Whistleblower," after Michael takes the fall for Sabre's defective printers. In return for his loyalty, Michael requests that Holly be returned to Scranton. Jo says she will see what she can do and Michael looks incredibly happy.When Toby had jury duty for the Scranton Strangler, Holly came in as a replacement. Once she transferred she gave AJ an ultimatum, saying that if he didn't propose to her by New Year's she would end the relationship. In the end it was revealed that she never gave the ultimatum and they continued there relationship long distance. When he goes missing, Holly is able to track Michael's footsteps due to their similar thought patterns. When she finds him on a building rooftop, they admit that they miss each other and share a kiss.In the episode "PDA", it is revealed that Michael and Holly are officially dating. They make the rest of the office uncomfortable with their excessive public displays of affection, and agree to stop only at the insistence of their coworkers. Later that day, when Michael declares that he loves Holly and she says that she returns his feelings, they must settle for a handshake. In order to avoid the kind of breakup they have previously experienced, they decide to move in together. As the season progresses, Holly's presence leads Michael to become a more mature adult. In "Threat Level Midnight", Michael screens the film that he had been working on for the past 11 years. Michael is hurt when Holly isn't impressed, but her honesty helps him realize that the film is awful (albeit enjoyably so) and allows him to laugh at his folly. In "Todd Packer", Todd Packer returns to the sales bullpen. She initially trusts Michael's assessment of Packer, but confronts Michael about his friend after Packer shows his true colors. When Michael tries to smooth things over, Packer speaks disrespectfully about Holly. Michael decides not to disclose that Packer's "promotion" in Florida is a prank by Jim and Dwight, and as Michael and Holly watch him drive away it's obvious that she is helping Michael to grow. In "Garage Sale", she realizes her aging parents need assistance and decides to move home to Colorado. She briefly changes her mind when Michael seems reluctant, saying that he is her life now. At the end of the episode, Michael leads her through various spots in the building that are meaningful to them (the stairwell where they first kissed, the water cooler he visited just to watch her work). He finally leads her to the annex which is filled with lighted candles. He begins to propose to her when the sprinkler system goes off. Through her laughter, she accepts his proposal. Afterwards, he announces to the office he's quitting his job to move to Colorado with his fiance, which leaves everybody else in shock. Holly does not appear in the subsequent episodes "Training Day" and "Michael's Last Dundies", but did have a voice-only segment (in a telephone conversation) in "Goodbye, Michael".
