the first REAL S5 spoiler?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Office_%28U.S._season_5%29

In case it gets deleted, here's what it says:
The season premiere is called "Bowling Match," and it is written and directed by Greg Daniels. It will air September 18. The synopsis reads as follows: "To promote sportsmanship after Ryan is charged with the possession of drugs, Michael takes the Dunder Mifflin Scranton branch bowling to honor him. Pam returns from the graphics design school with a surprise for Jim. Kevin pursues a relation with Holly at the bowling alley."

Well, I kind of think it's BS, as it's on Wikipedia, which had a fake "Goodbye, Toby" synopsis ending in Toby dying in a plane crash on the way to Costa Rica, and Michael adopting Sacha (poor Sacha. What's going to happen to Sacha?). While I think the writers probably have the fifth season mapped out, I don't think they have, you know, individual episodes. Plus, the description sounds like an NBC synopsis, and not like a spoiler (like, if I stole a S5 script and knew everything that happened in it, you bet your ass I wouldn't just do a calm little synopsis on Wikipedia. I'd mention every detail. Though, maybe it's not so official - they have a confused pronoun with the honoring him. Is it Michael or Ryan?). But, if it's true... this sounds pretty funny, though I'm sure it will be met with "waahhhh they left the office!!!" complaints. And I'm glad they're doing something with Ryan's drug side plot. Otherwise, it didn't seem all that necessary. It didn't hurt, but he could have just been a power-hungry asshole without the drugs, too. I'm glad, too, that it doesn't seem that Jim and Pam broke up (they better be engaged), but what could that surprise be? She found someone new (seriously doubt it)? She's pregnant? She got a job in NY? She's best friends with Karen? She got in touch with her arty side and now she thinks the glasses are hot and she's going to wear them all the time? ;) Oh, and YAY Holly!

Time will tell. Time will tell.
