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
Back at The Kids' Choice Awards, Jenna is fuming that no one at the event cares about her. Helen Mirren interrupts her hissy fit to present the evening's "In Memoriam" montage -- and get slimed in an elegant fashion befitting a Dame -- when who should appear on said reel but Jenna. Jack thinks back and realizes that a miscommunication with a pint-sized producer brought this series of events about. Jenna, whose chief accomplishment according to the reel is "Former Mouseketeer," thinks this is a disaster. Jack, however, is pleased as punch because an idea has taken hold beneath those thick tresses of his. Later, he sneaks a coat-covered Jenna into her dressing room, where he explains to her that this unexpected death could translate into major ticket sales for her movie -- just as premature death proved to be gold for Tupac Shakur and Janis Joplin herself. Jack tells her to remain "dead" while he pimps out the movie. She assures him she can.
Another day, over in HR, Jeffrey Weinerslav congratulates Lemon and her newly acquired Rich Bitch Sunglasses on finishing the sexual harassment recovery program. She hesitantly takes her certificate and cringes a bit while noting that she can go back to work as soon as the next day. Weinerslav takes it upon himself to warn her about all the stress that awaits her there, lest she fall back on old habits. He asks if she has any questions. Lemon snaps back, "Just one: Why don't you drop those Dockers and give me a piece of that sweet ass?" That ought to get her a one-way ticket to the Good Life, for sure. She breezes back into Emily's apartment and asks what's on tap. They toast to "More of the same!" Commercials.
When we return, Lemon is full-on Stepford as she chats with Jack on the phone. The hair is styled, and there is a tangerine sweater set. Lemon proudly notes that she'll be out of work for another six weeks, thanks to her run-in with Weinerslav. Jack's all, "Who are you and what have you done with my Lemon?" He says he's going to call HR and get her back in time for the next show. He's too busy capitalizing on Jenna's tragic demise to take care of things at the show. They swap Indigo Girls lyrics as Lemon regales Jack with the amazing life that her new friends lead. She promises to come back to the show in two to four years, depending on whether she gives up cable. Jack tells her she's living in a fantasy and that their lives are actually filled with despair. She starts to explain why he's wrong but is distracted by a spider in her yoga mat.
