in season 6, andy takes an interest in receptionist erin hannon, who has mutual affections, but due to miscommunication, there was a long period where the two waited for the other to make a move. however, andy eventually asks erin out on a date, and she graciously accepts. a few months later, after erin discovers, through michael scott, of andy's former engagement to accountant angela martin, she throws cake in andy's face, and decides that they need to take a break from one another. over a year later, erin, after breaking up with gabe lewis, asks andy out on a date, but he dismisses her advances, because of his lingering issues with her leaving him for gabe. when andy introduces his girlfriend jessica to the office at a christmas party, erin initially appears friendly to her, but she becomes drunk, and confesses to andy that she wishes jessica were dead. greatly offended, andy informs erin that she needs to get over their break-up, and briskly leaves. upon learning that erin wishes to live in tallahassee, florida, andy drives to tallahassee to get back together with erin. at first he is unsuccessful, but ultimately gets her back, and they make up and kiss in the middle of the street. when andy discovers his job is stolen by nellie when he and erin return to the office, he is demoted to salesman again and holds back his anger. the day seems to get worse when their sex life becomes the subject of a staff meeting, embarrassing them. when nellie makes another quip, erin snaps and in turn, encourages andy to finally let his anger loose on nellie, which later helps andy get his confidence back and improves their sex life. however, during season 9, their relationship starts to show cracks as andy comes back from a training seminar that has made him more confident, but seemingly more selfish to erin. when andy takes his parents boat to bermuda for three weeks, he leaves erin behind, who looks on disappointed. erin later goes out with pete, a new co-worker for drinks. three weeks later becomes three months, which makes erin increasingly unhappy after andy neglects her by being unsociable. erin later tries to dump andy in "couples discount", until he convinces her that they can fake love each other like his parents did. erin initially agrees to this until she talks to pete, who only wants her to be happy. this prompts erin to finally break up with andy by citing both his neglect for her and that he was irresponsible for being gone for three months from work. during "moving on", andy's distraught behavior affects his professional relationship with erin and the staff, and has him confiding some of the staff, including pete, whom erin is dating in secrecy from andy. when andy learns of their relationship, he acts irrationally to where erin and pete lecture him that he needs to move on. vengeful, andy hires both gabe and alice (collette wolfe), who is pete's ex-girlfriend and a marketing professional, with the intent of making erin and pete uncomfortable. the ploy works to the point where arguments break out between the parties in the conference room, as erin and pete's issues with their past relationships surface. andy smugly says to the camera that making the new couple unhappy, has made him feel better. in the episode livin' the dream, andy and erin are seen speaking pleasantly to each other and erin even admits her concern for his well being saying she's worried he'll "be homeless or even starve." later on during andy's goodbye song erin can be seen watching andy with a serious look of affection, making it unclear whether or not the two still have romantic feelings for each other. in the finale andy, erin, and even pete are all shown to be getting along well and spending time together during the after party in the warehouse, indicating the tensions from earlier have vanished (though it is unclear if erin and pete are still a couple at that point, as the episode doesn't provide any evidence in either direction).
