In the season five two-parter "Stress Relief," you'll probably remember that Stanley (Leslie David Baker) suffers a heart attack after Dwight (Rainn Wilson) stages an especially "authentic" fire drill.

But this was tacitly "predicted" an entire season earlier by Michael in the episode "Did I Stutter?". While administering a fake firing to Stanley for his infamous titular outburst, Michael tells Stanley that he's "Fired like a heart attack."

It says a lot about Stanley, however, that even after suffering such a serious medical event, he still managed to perform 25 push-ups in order to leave the office early in the season six episode "Happy Hour."
