In "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_Testing_%28The_Office%29 Drug Testing]", Dwight says that he likes the people he works with, "with four exceptions". It is up to the audience to make educated guesses about whom these four exceptions are. The four are most likely Jim, Ryan, Phyllis and either Pam or Toby because of Pam's involvement in pranks against him and Michael's hatred of Toby. It is also likely that one of them is Kelly Kapoor.

When Michael's replacement, Deangelo Vickers, starts working at Dunder Mifflin, Dwight and Michael's start to have a strain on their relationship. Dwight becomes very offended that Michael did not recomend him for the position of regional manager. After giving Michael bull testacles as a sign of hostility, Dwight learns that the regional manager position was not Michael's to give away. However, this does not fully fix their relationship. It is truly fixed when Michael gives Dwight a letter of recomendation that says that Dwight is hard working, and one of a kind. With this letter came a note from Michael inviting Dwight to a game of paintball. Here, their relationship seemed to be fully repaired.
