Well, it all started after Jim casually threw a snowball at Dwight, indoors, leading Rainn Wilson’s character to challengeJohn Krasinski‘s Jim for a snowball fight, outside. That’s when Jim’s practical prank turned into a debacle leaving him with a bloody nose. Facing cut-throat Dwight, as Jim went outside, he saw the doors chained so that he couldn’t get back inside.
Soon the fight began, and Dwight appeared from inside a snowman pelting Jim with multiple snowballs, causing him to bleed. Later, Dwight even disguised himself as Pam and attacked Jim once again. This left Jim with so much trauma that John Krasinski’s character later attacked each snowman with his umbrella in the parking lot, expecting to find Dwight in one of them.
The episode ended with the camera showing Dwight mischievously watching Jim’s trauma from the roof of the building and smiling down, knowing he won the battle.
