11:14 the fact that Pam couldn't recognise Jan from her normal human photo of skydiving but recognised her immediately from that devilish caricature/portrait 💀💀💀

[@PrmtvStudio]

It was realisation in stages. In the skydiving photo Jan is wearing a helmet and a suit so Pam could think "she seems familiar/she kinda looks like Jan" but not realising she's her yet, then there's a photo of a baby and "Serenity by Jan" candles, at this point realisation comes to Pam, but she is kinda not certain, not sure yet, and then there's a Warhol-style quadriple portrait and then it hits her. It IS Jan. Personally I love the moment right after this scene, when Jan doesn't simply enter the room, she just appears out of nowhere leaning against the doorframe. So sinister.

[@STho205]

Jan is The Devil. That is clear in the awkward dinner party episode. Pam is playing audience surrogate as you also slowly realize who is the customer.

[@Joe_Parmesan]

Jan was a great character that sadly was kind of torn down and left by the wayside. I think she was hilarious as Crazy Jan, but the writers could've pulled back a bit in her later appearances (a la Roy), because Jan had serious problems going on. They just made her mean, when she was originally just a bit stern (understandably so).

[@IvanBorodulin-t5w]

The truth is that the characters developed the way that they did for a reason … You could tell the signs that both Ryan and Jan would go off the rails at some point. Jan - while listening to her emotions and giving in to Michael’s dumb but real feelings. As emotions stop being suppressed, bottled up for a while, they start a rebel Ryan took pride in being cool and controlling the way he presents himself to the world, so lack of self-reflection combined with an opportunity for his ego to go rampant (drugs, power) did what it did to him
