10 Erin's Relationship With Her Birth Parents

During her time on The Office, Erin's quest to find her birth parents was a prominent storyline. She often formed parental connections with her colleagues, like Phyllis, who went through a DNA test to determine if Erin was the child she had once given up for adoption. Despite not being Phyllis's biological daughter, Erin did not let this deter her. Ultimately, in The Office season 9, Erin was finally reunited with her biological parents at a Q&A panel following a documentary screening.

A key aspect

9 Creed's Prison Sentence

was her child-like sense of wonder, always imagining how her life would have unfolded if she had grown up in a traditional suburban household. In her last on-screen appearance, she was seen getting acquainted with her biological parents, instantly noticing the striking similarities between them. Regardless of her age, Erin truly deserves a loving and stable family environment, and revisiting this storyline could create heartwarming moments for her.

In his final moments on The Office, Creed's surrender to the police was captured on camera, as officers escorted him away following his attempt to fake his own death in order to evade arrest. Drawing inspiration from real-life events involving actor Creed Bratton, who actually was a member of the band Grass Roots, Creed's character had a criminal record that included offenses such as stealing drugs from the military, distributing said drugs, and engaging in the illegal trade of endangered animal meats.

8 What Happened To Ryan & Kelly After Their Office Exit

Despite his arrest in The Office finale, the actor suggests that Creed's ability to continuously evade capture and elude law enforcement wouldn't be entirely unexpected. Given Creed's peculiar demeanor and questionable ethics, it would be plausible for the show's creators to dedicate an entire episode to documenting Creed's ongoing escape, taking refuge in various locations such as the Office warehouse and one of Dwight's barns.

In the final episode of The Office, Ryan and Kelly made a bold move by choosing each other over their previous commitments. Ryan, who had struggled with commitment in the past, claimed to have finally mastered it for Kelly. To be with Ryan, Kelly had to leave her fiancée and Ryan had to abandon his son. This decision left their future uncertain, leaving viewers to ponder whether their love would withstand the test of time.

7 Nellie & Her Stolen Baby In Europe

The previous attempts at their relationship had been disastrous, making it highly unlikely that it would be sustainable. Nevertheless, Ryan and Kelly undeniably shared a deep connection. If Ryan truly matured as he claimed, there might be hope for the couple. If Kelly managed to wear him down, we could witness the arrival of their children, with an ecstatic Kelly and a Ryan on the verge of a breakthrough.

The one child known to the audience is Drake, whom Nellie took after he was abandoned at Dwight and Angela's wedding. Nellie informed the camera crew that if Ryan wanted him back, he could locate them somewhere in Europe. It is possible that they are in Poland, as Nellie was brought in from there for the documentary reunion. However, since Nellie had no paperwork for Drake, she might not have been able to leave the United States.

Nellie had always yearned for a child to call her own. Her attempts to adopt were marked by setbacks, mainly because she was a single parent and Andy was unwilling to provide her with a favorable reference for the agency. It is possible that Nellie is now somewhere with a child, continuing to seize job opportunities that were not meant for her, while trying to maintain a low profile in her peculiar way. However, she may still be without a child if Ryan decides to reclaim his son. Nevertheless, Nellie is determined to put up a fierce fight to retain custody.

6 The Rise (Or Fall?) Of Jim's Company Athlead

Athlead, the sports marketing company founded by Jim in Season 9 of The Office, experienced rapid growth. Eventually, Jim and Pam made the decision to bid farewell to Dunder Mifflin and relocated to Austin, Texas. Although their departure was bittersweet, Dwight terminated their employment, providing them with a severance package. With their home sold and their friend Darryl already a part of Athlead, the future looked promising for the Halpert family.

5 Toby's Obsession With The Scranton Strangler

After spending nearly ten years as a salesperson for a paper company, Jim finally had the opportunity to start his own business and pursue his passion. By the end of The Office finale, Athlead was thriving. Despite Jim's strong management skills, there was a possibility that the dream might have faded, leading to the sudden end of the company's successful run. If the show were to be rebooted, it is conceivable that the Halperts would return to Scranton, finding their place once again at Dunder Mifflin. They would feel secure knowing that Dwight could provide job stability as well as protection with pepper spray and ninja stars.

During the latter seasons of the show, Toby became fixated on his experience as a juror for the Scranton Strangler trial. He couldn't help but continuously discuss it, particularly with Nellie, who served as his patient listener. Toby would tirelessly delve into the intricate details of the case, expressing his doubt about the accused individual's true identity as the Strangler. His fascination eventually led him to visit the incarcerated man, only to narrowly escape being choked himself, marked by the presence of a protective neck brace.

After his dismissal by Dwight, Toby relocated to New York with the intention of crafting the acclaimed American literary masterpiece. Frequently engaging his coworkers with discussions about his enigmatic novels, Toby introduced them to the protagonist, Detective Chad Flenderman, who was loosely based on his own aspirations. Audiences found themselves witnessing Toby's triumph in the realm of authorship as they followed Chad Flenderman's pursuits, unraveling the exploits of a fictionalized Scranton Strangler or even witnessing Chad's transformation into the menacing Strangler himself. Moreover, there were multiple insinuations that Toby himself could be the enigmatic Scranton Strangler, although these claims remained unverified.

4 Oscar's Political Career

Oscar, left humiliated after being discarded by Senator Robert Lipton following their illicit relationship, found solace in his unwavering friendship with Angela, resulting in a bond even stronger than before. In the series finale of The Office, Oscar claimed Darryl's former office space as his own, seizing it as the headquarters for his own political campaign against Robert. Dwight revealed that Oscar has embarked on a journey to become a state senator and has become the godfather to his and Angela's child, garnering support from esteemed entities such as the renowned Dunder Mifflin company.

With Oscar's unwavering sense of justice, he is compelled to bring about positive change in his community. His involvement in attention-grabbing stunts and witnessing Lipton's failure to fulfill his commitments to Scranton only strengthen Oscar's determination. In the potential revival of The Office, Oscar's character growth could be showcased through his impressive political career as a gay, POC Senator.

3 Dwight Balancing Schrute Farms & Dunder Mifflin

In the ninth season episode titled "The Farm," which was initially aired with the intention of potentially spinning off a new series based on The Office, viewers were given the opportunity to delve deeper into Dwight's upbringing on Schrute Farms, an integral aspect of his character development. Throughout the series, the farm had made numerous appearances as Dwight explored various side jobs, while also engaging in his endeavors as a beet farmer and paper salesperson. As The Office concluded, Dwight finally achieved the role of regional manager at the Scranton branch and tied the knot with Angela, alongside their son Phillip, as they all joined him on the farm.

2 Pam's Art Career

Dwight's life appeared to be flawless after he finally realized his dream. Assuming Dwight still holds the position of regional manager, which is highly likely, he successfully manages the responsibilities of caring for his wife, child, cousin Mose, the farm, and Dunder Mifflin. Bearing such a heavy workload, Dwight remains the sole character capable of successfully juggling all these tasks, especially after enduring countless years of relentless pursuit to achieve his goals.

In order to support her husband's aspirations, Pam took the bold step of selling their shared home in The Office finale, bidding farewell to Dunder Mifflin and relocating to Austin with Jim. While Pam initially had reservations about uprooting their lives for Jim's business, she ultimately embraced the prospect with enthusiasm, eager to explore the possibilities it held for their family. With no concrete job prospects on the horizon, Pam's future was filled with boundless potential.

1 Andy's Life At Cornell

Before departing, Pam unveiled the captivating mural she had meticulously crafted on the wall of the warehouse, while simultaneously completing another masterpiece for the prestigious Irish Cultural Center. As stated by the NBC website following the broadcast of the show's final episode, Pam ventured into the realm of mural artistry and established her own business, complemented by an exquisite gallery in the vibrant city of Austin. Embarking on this new artistic journey marked a profound shift in Pam's professional trajectory, as now, for the very first time, she was able to fully immerse herself in the role of an accomplished artist. Fast forward over a decade, it is only natural to anticipate that Pam's artistic career would have flourished, with the fervent hope that her awe-inspiring creations receive worldwide acclaim and recognition.

Andy, despite experiencing a highly publicized setback in his entertainment career, found true satisfaction upon his return to Scranton for The Office documentary reunion. Following the unexpected fame generated by his viral TV singing audition, he unexpectedly secured a role at Cornell University, his prestigious alma mater, working in the admissions office. Dubbed "Baby Wawa," this unique moniker opened unforeseen doors for Andy's professional journey.

Andy's frequent mention of his time at Cornell indicates that it was fitting for him to return to his alma mater. Despite not excelling in sales, Andy had the ability to identify the ideal candidates for Cornell. Although Dwight threatened to report Andy's subpar interviewing skills to the university during the Cornell admissions interview on "Employee Transfer" episode of The Office's fifth season, it seems that this incident did not impact Andy's professional relationship with Cornell. It is probable that Andy continues to be associated with Cornell, providing everlasting support to his former a capella group, Here Comes Treble.
