Downtown, Jenna meets up with Paul/'Gina Bologna. He wonders if it's just a visit or if she'll be activating his electric underwear. She promises it's just to talk and asks Paul if he think she'd be a good mother. He says of course not. For that matter, he'd be a terrible father because, if they had a child prettier than them, they'd have to leave it in a desert. He asks if it's really what she wants. She says she didn't think so until Kenneth said she'd be good at it -- not to mention that the hullaballoo over her crazy name choice will be great exposure. "Right now it's between Frisbee Face and Glock, gender irrelevant," she reports. Paul: "I love you, Jenna Maroney. I want to hogtie you and hide you in the luggage compartment of a Greyhound bus with just a bowl of dirty water." That said, Paul thinks Kenneth may be the only person in the world who believes Jenna should have a baby.
Lemon is working when Dennis startles her. He pulls out a Zack Morris cell phone (an upgrade from the pager!) and says he got the message she left for him while high on gas an hour ago in her office. Lemon admits she wasn't in her right mind and would never call him after everything he's done. Flashbacks: Dennis on To Catch a Predator, Dennis suggesting a threesome, Dennis hitting on the waitress then forcing Lemon to flee the restaurant without paying the check -- even though she checked her coat. Dennis says Lemon has subconscious lingering feelings for him, and he knew she'd one day be vulnerable from a gas leak or a coma or a super-period. She insists that he was a mistake, and the only thing she misses is the time in her life when she could afford to make mistakes. Just then, Pete announces that the staffers can head back upstairs. Dennis tells Lemon that he won't let her brush him off this easily. "And us Duffies, we don't quit. We didn't give up when we got kicked out of Ireland. We didn't give up when America sent us back. And when didn't give up when Ireland then just set us adrift on a log." He promises it's not over.
In the elevator, Kenneth is, as always, excited about what an exciting day it's been. Jack and Lemon are sour as ever. They get out of the elevator, and Lemon gets a call from Tracy, who says he's back. Lemon jubilantly tells the writers to do an Obama cold open, get a fart doctor, and -- what the hell -- write up that bum's Empire State Building idea. Tracy corrects her, saying he's back to where he was yesterday with too much respect. He tells her he even tried to call a women's basketball team "nappy-headed hos," then adds, "but apparently I'm allowed to talk like that. Why?"
