Episode Report Card Lady Lola: C | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Action Pact
By Lady Lola | Season 4 | Episode 17 | Aired on 04.22.2010
She jazz-hands up to Jack's office, where she finds him staring at his two birthday gifts: saltwater taffy from Nancy and Reagan cuff links from Avery. He confirms that she got a leg-up because of affirmative action, then redirects the conversation to his dating dilemma. He tries to make a decision on the spot. He chooses Avery, and Lemon wonders if it's just because Jack saw her last. Nancy interrupts to say she's on her way back to Boston. She offers to come back down in a few weeks so she can "cook [Jack] a pot roast, drink too much wine, and... see how it goes." Sounds like a winner to me. Jack agrees to the date and hugs Nancy as Lemon makes frantic gestures in the background and Avery pipes up on TV to say that a developing story represents a conflict of interest that has personally outraged her. Lemon falls to the ground with a thud, hoping to break up Jack's deceitful hug with Nancy, but he lets her lie there.
Writers' room. Toofer makes his triumphant return as the only person at TGS who can spell. He tells the gang that the terms of his new employment preclude them from calling him Toofer anymore. They leap at the chance to give him a new nickname. Contenders include Victoria Q. Nerdballs (Lemon), Kanye East (Jenna), Supervirgin (Frank), Sply (a mash-up of "black" and "spy" from Tracy), and Threefer ("'cause you're also gay," says Pete). With those out on the table, Toofer decides his current moniker will have to do.
And now for jokes that boldly go where, well... many jokes have gone before. This time with 100% more dead baby cows!
Single and Reluctant to Mingle
Jenna: How many more of these things are you going to?
Lemon: Line dancing this afternoon, then tomorrow is the wine and cheese tasting -- or as I like to call it, "Singles Fart Suppression."
Jenna: Maybe I should go with you, be your wingman.
Lemon: Oh, thanks, Jenna, but you don't want to do that.
Jenna: No, it'd be good acting research for me. I'm up for a role in National Lampoon's Van Wilder's Wingmen Incorporated.
Lemon: I look forward to not watching that on an airplane.
Never Trust a Bald Barber... or a Lemon with Dating Advice
Jack: Lemon, the grown-up dating world is like your haircut -- sometimes awkward triangles occur.
Lemon: I feel like you've been saving that one.
Jack: Obviously this is unexpected. I really didn't think that Nancy would ever get divorced.
Lemon: Why would a lady get divorced at 50? Stick it out! Men die first, then you have two wonderful years, then you die.
