I stopped watching the office by then. What was the fight about?

In the first episode of the ninth season, Jim helped launch a start-up company (a sports agency) based in Philadelphia without fully conveying the level of this commitment to Pam. Eventually, he had to start working part time in Philadelphia but did not give Pam a true idea of how involved he would have to be with that company.

Episode 12 culminated in a huge fight between Jim and Pam while Jim was in Philadelphia (both John Krasinski and Jenna Fischer were lauded for their performances here) and through the remainder of Season 9 they focused on rekindling their relationship (while many assumed (correctly) that they would wind up back together, the relationship was quite calamitous for a while).

Overall, Season 9 of The Office vastly exceeded my expectations leading into the season. It had some low moments/episodes, but the last three episodes (especially the finale) are definitely worth a watch if you have not seen them already.

Yeah I watched the last few episodes and the amazing finale. They had that one line regarding Pam being blamed for the fight that I didnt get, so that is why I asked.

I bailed on the office in the middle of Season 8. Sounds like I didnt miss anything good.

Admittedly, I've only been passively following this season of HIMYM, and the episodes I've seen didn't mention Marshall's new job. I now see that Marshall actually brought this up in the first episode of the season (rather than it being introduced in the last episode).

I still believe their marital issues mirror Jim and Pam's in the last season of The Office (which, as Vulture points out, was similar to the marital problems seen in the last season of Friday Night Lights).
