In “Stress Relief,” Dunder Mifflin’s oddball, troublesome employee Dwight (Rainn Wilson) creates havoc when he stages a fire drill without letting the rest of the office know that he’s created a faux emergency. The result is total panic in the office, causing chaos and damage to company property. But perhaps the worst result is that fellow worker Stanley Hudson (Leslie David Baker) suffers a heart attack in the ensuing panic. This prompts manager Michael Scott (Steve Carell) to host a series of emergency training and stress relief meetings in the office in order to help Stanley stay calm, but they only end up making him more stressed out.

In one of the meetings, a medical professional is brought in to teach the office how to administer CPR to someone experiencing health problems. Of course, Michael’s ignorance and Dwight’s eccentricities result in the lesson being totally derailed. It comes to a head with Dwight cutting open the CPR dummy to harvest organs for donations, and it goes totally off the rails when he cuts the face off the dummy and wears it for a “Silence of the Lambs” reference.

Dwight ends up getting in trouble for destroying the dummy, with Dunder Mifflin CEO David Wallace complaining that the dummy cost the company $3,500 to replace. However, that was a little exaggerated when compared to the true cost of the dummy. As line producer Randy Cordray revealed in an episode of “The Office Ladies” podcast, those dummies cost around $1,000 at the time, but they used one that cost $750 each. Even though production used three of those dummies for “Stress Relief,” that cost was nothing compared to the fake cat needed for the fire drill opening.
