In season 3 episode 15 of The Office, titled "Ben Franklin," the Dunder Mifflin Scranton branch is preparing for their annual "Ladies' Appreciation Day" where they pamper their female clients with spa treatments and gift baskets. Michael Scott, the regional manager, decides to hire a historical interpreter dressed as Benjamin Franklin to entertain the women during their lunch break.
As the employees of Dunder Mifflin try to prepare for the big day, tensions start to rise between Dwight and Andy over the attention of Angela, who is currently Dwight's girlfriend. Meanwhile, Jim and Pam continue to navigate their complicated feelings for each other while trying to maintain a professional relationship.
When Ben Franklin arrives at the office, he quickly becomes a hit with the female clients, but his behavior becomes increasingly inappropriate and Michael struggles to reign him in. As the day progresses, chaos ensues and several relationships come to a head.
