That night Lemon confronts Floyd for not mentioning his bride-to-be. He apologizes and said he wishes he could have done it differently. She says his happiness is important, but that he doesn't have to get married where he works, nor does have to "drag [her] best friend, TV, into it." He says he sympathizes, and then the bombs start to drop. He committed to the contest because it will give his fiancée, a yogaerobics instructor (boom!) and ab model (blam!) national exposure. Lemon jumps in that she, too, had national exposure once -- in a re-enactment on America's Most Wanted -- "playing a lady... who was strangled on the toilet." Floyd continues that winning the contest would allow him and his new wife to move back to New York (kablooey!). Lemon declares a ceasefire, saying they should order. Then Floyd asks if she's seeing anyone. She can't help herself and shrills that he should get the fish.
That night, Tracy has several dreams about Kenneth. They are things of beauty that will only be compromised through words. Just watch. After a series of false endings, Jenna comes screaming in that her Kenmares are escalating. They decide to solve the problem in the only way they know how: become dream warriors and kill Kenneth in their sleep, Nightmare on Elm Street-style.
Writers' room. Jack tries to confront Frank about disrupting his meeting with the Twig & Plums code words, but he barely gets a word out before Frank says it again. Jack mutters something about going to an intervention for his travel agent as he shuffles out.
Back at the restaurant, Floyd is ordering his third serving of salmon, sauce on the side, and feeling no pain. Though he is acting increasingly loud, obnoxious, and erratic. After he runs over to the jukebox to air guitar riff to some Bon Jovi, the waiter returns to confirm that he wants another Jack-glazed salmon. Yep, the salmon is glazed with Jack Daniels. The waiter assures Lemon the alcohol cooks down during cooking, but since former boozehound Floyd has been ordering his sauce on the side, he's getting pure hooch.
Lemon realizes she's on the slippery slope and approaches Floyd to get him back to his hotel to sleep it off. And this is where happy drunk Floyd turns into belligerent drunk Floyd. Unfortunately for Lemon, she engages him in this state. He starts bashing Lemon for getting him drunk, attempting to give him food poison, yelling at him, and, during their relationship, ruling out weekday sex. It's all really harsh. Lemon decides to leave without him. He announces he's buying salmon for everyone.
