In the season four finale "Goodbye, Toby," Michael is elated that it's the final day at the office for his least favourite employee, Toby Flenderson, who is jetting off to Costa Rica.

At the start of the episode, Michael excitedly says, "There are certain days that you know you'll remember the rest of your life. And I just have a feeling that today is one of those days."

But Michael's comments turned out to be so much more prophetic than he ever could've anticipated, because this is also the episode which introduces HR rep Holly Flax, who eventually becomes Michael's wife and mother to his four children.

While it's entirely possible this was a brilliant coincidence, given the meticulous nature of the show's scripts, it's incredibly easy to believe it was totally intentional.
