[edit] Season 3

Karen is a co-worker of Jim's at the Stamford branch. Before Jim arrived, Karen was a likely candidate for the position of Assistant Regional Manager. At first, she doesn't think Jim fits in there and dislikes the way he looks at the camera, but eventually she grows to like him, apparently developing a crush on him.

Jim and Karen continue a steady relationship throughout the rest of season 3. After their job interviews in , Jim leaves Karen in New York City and returns to Scranton to ask Pam out. In The Office Summer Vacation clip released early September Karen states that "Jim dumped my ass and left me crying by a fountain in New York". (The Job)

[edit] Season 4

After returning from New York, Karen explains to Jim that she has worked too hard for her career and does not intend on leaving. However, the next day, she is not at the office and her desk is empty.

Karen is currently the Regional Manager of Dunder Mifflin Utica. She attempts to woo Stanley to her branch. It was revealed that it was really a ploy by Stanley to get more money.(Branch Wars)

[edit] Season 5

Karen is pregnant but Jim is not the father after much speculation by Michael. She is married to a man named Dan. Karen asks Pam how Jim is doing and Pam tells her that she and Jim are engaged and Karen seemed genuinely happy for her.(Lecture Circuit Part 1)

[edit] Trivia

  • Karen was a regular member of the Party Planning Committee during her time at the Scranton branch.
  • Ryan mentions in "Dunder Mifflin Infinity" that Karen had asked him out six months previously; however, this appears to overlap with her relationship with Jim by at least a month or two. However, it was revealed back in Women's Appreciation that Ryan had actually asked Karen out via email.
