In "Special Project", when Dwight needs to form a team to go to Florida, Stanley jumps at the opportunity just so he can go to Florida for a month without his family, referring to himself as "Florida Stanley" in the interview, and makes it on the team. When in Florida, he rents a convertible and hooks up with other women at night, appearing quite happy. Jim initially likes hanging out with Stanley, but Stanley's actions drive Jim away. Stanley goes back to his old grumpy self when they leave Florida.
