In The Office season 5 episode 20 "Dream Team," Michael is tasked with choosing the design for the company's new brochure and decides he needs a "dream team" to help him. He picks Jim, Dwight, Stanley, and Phyllis to be on his team, but things quickly spiral out of control when Michael's ego gets in the way.
Throughout the episode, Michael struggles to relinquish control of the project and constantly pushes his own ideas onto the team, despite their objections. This leads to tension and arguments amongst the group, with Jim and Dwight both vying for control over the project in their own ways.
Meanwhile, Pam and Ryan work on a new website for the company, with Pam struggling to come up with creative ideas and Ryan being more focused on impressing his higher-ups than producing quality work.
As the episode progresses, the tension between the members of the dream team reaches a boiling point, with Stanley quitting the team and Dwight threatening to quit as well. Jim is left to clean up the mess and, in a rare moment of inspiration, comes up with a new brochure design that impresses everyone.
In the end, the team comes together to create the final product and Michael is forced to admit that he was wrong to try to control everything. Pam and Ryan's website is also successfully launched, with Pam finally finding her creative voice.
Overall, "Dream Team" is a classic episode of The Office that perfectly captures the dynamics and quirks of each character. It's a hilarious and relatable portrayal of office politics and the struggle to work as a team.
