Kelly runs off with Ryan

Dating Ryan is never a cakewalk, and for that alone, we need to give Kelly a bit of a break. Every time we see her pulling her hair out in frustration at Ryan's antics make sense when you think of the Ryan half of the equation. Fortunately, toward the end of Season 8, we find out that Kelly has finally started to grow up and have some more maturity in her choice of men. She hooks up with Pam and Jim's pediatrician, Ravi, and the cute couple stick together through all of the ups and downs of the last season ... until the last few minutes.

At Dwight and Angela's wedding, Kelly and Ravi are as happy as ever. Then Ryan appears carrying a baby — his infant son, Drake. Toward the end, Ryan gives his son a strawberry, purposefully inducing an allergic reaction so that he can talk to his ex. Kelly totally backslides into her Ryan addiction in seconds, and she agrees to run off into the sunset with him so that they can finally master commitment and "start a new life together."

This sudden break-up with Ravi is wrong for so many reasons. First, Kelly thinks it's romantic that Ryan gave his kid a serious allergic reaction. Second, Kelly ditches a serious, committed relationship for one that's clearly abusive. Third, she runs off knowing that Ryan is leaving his own son behind.

Everyone knows that Ryan is the scum of the earth at this point, but our hopes for Kelly were so much higher once she stabilized with Ravi. She does a lot of questionable things over her time at Dunder Mifflin, but this last "romantic" act is doubtless one of the most short-sighted, selfish, and destructive things of them all.
