Episode Report Card Lady Lola: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Jackie Jormp-Jomp
By Lady Lola | Season 3 | Episode 18 | Aired on 04.16.2009
We join Lemon in mid-jabber with the first of a series of doormen, all of whom have increasingly obvious eye rolls. Lemon doesn't care, she's desperate. Finally, a woman from her building comes out from the elevator, and they strike up a conversation about the vending machines and fitness center that Lemon didn't even realize her building had, thanks to her crazy hours. Emily notices that Lemon seems a little lost. They commiserate over the life of a high-powered business woman, what with their bathroom stall lunches, candy drawers, and decoy candy drawers. But, there's hope, says Emily. When you take time off, you realize there are much better ways to fill your days. Lemon follows her to the fitness center.
Back at 30 Rock, Kenneth scampers into Jack's office to announce his intentions to marry one of the TGS dancers, as is required by the sexual harassment policy. Never mind that he's never even talked to her. Jack snarks that he'll be sure to mention it at the next board meeting. Kenneth thanks him and leaves with this little tattling tidbit: "Also, sir, I don't know if this is sexual harassment but somebody at The Today Show made me eat an unripe banana in front of her." Annnnnd, payoff (see below). As Kenneth walks out, he spots Dot-Com walking in with the dancer, looking to disclose their relationship. Kenneth, ever the naïf, grimaces that he will not be able to attend their wedding.
Back at Lemon's building, the Ladies Who Lunch are introducing her to the Good Life. Their itinerary goes a little something like this: boozing, beauty, boozing, Bergdorf's, boozing, Botox, and, finally, boozing. Lemon says she'll just have one drink, then go because it's Friday and she'd be too stressed to enjoy the day of relaxation. Cue shifting sequence of Lemon, in fact, joining in on all of these things, all while talking about how obsessed with work she is. Before she knows it, it's midnight, and she's missed the show. She seems pretty pleased about it, though.
Over at The Kids' Choice Awards, Jenna and Jack stroll the red carpet. She offers a nipple slip for the cause, but Jack just wants her to talk about the movie. She starts talking to a child reporter, regaling him with her fashion (Taylor Dayne for Express), but the interview is hijacked by Dora the Explorer's Backpack before she can discuss Jackie Jormp-Jomp.
Back at 30 Rock, Kenneth brings Tracy and his crew their food. He pointedly tells Dot-Com that he forgot his extra mustard. Tracy stands up and screams at them something to the tune of "Stop the insanity! Why can't we all just get along?!" Kenneth explains that Dot-Com hurt him, so he's hurting Dot-Com right back. Dot-Com apologizes, and they mend their fences rather quickly, but Tracy is on a rampage. He decides to take action, even though Lemon specifically told Kenneth to be on high alert for such shenanigans. Long story short, the dancer gets fired.
