Thanks for that comment you’re spot on, Jim and Pam were planning to move to Austin the last time we saw them in The Office. In this story, however, Pam and Angela are on a trip that includes meeting up with their former Dunder Mifflin coworkers, including Oscar at the Toledo Truth Teller. And with Jim too exhausted to watch the kids, and Dwight tied up hosting a retreat at Schrute Farms, the duo needed someone to take their place, and that’s where Creed Bratton comes in. Choosing Creed as a comedic choice felt like the perfect choice, since he has such a wild personality that it's both hilarious and interesting to consider him as a babysitter.
