Beginning with a simple premise, The Injury revolves around Michael Scott’s infamous accident of stepping onto a George Foreman grill, resulting in a burnt foot. Such a straightforward setup masks the episode’s complexity and its exploration of character, which is a hallmark of great sitcom writing. Creator and writer Mindy Kaling, also known for her role as Kelly Kapoor, crafted an episode that leans heavily into situational comedy while revealing profound truths about the characters.
