[s7e5] The Sting -
Introduced as a formidable rival who is "smoldering" and highly competent. His hiring creates a new dynamic for the sales team.
After losing a client to Danny Cordray, Michael, Dwight, and Jim orchestrate a "sting" operation. They set up a fake company, Solarcom, and use Meredith Palmer as the "CEO" to lure Danny into a sales meeting while they observe via hidden cameras to steal his secrets. The plan quickly devolves as Meredith attempts to seduce Danny, forcing Michael to send in Oscar and Ryan as clumsy interventions. Ultimately, Michael realizes Danny’s "secret" is simply superior charisma and sales skill, leading Michael to hire him as Dunder Mifflin’s new traveling salesman. [S7E5] The Sting
