Hey, Good Lookin', Don't Poison Me with Your Cookin'

By Lady Lola

Thanks to Drew's insane gorgeosity, Lemon realizes that fantastic-looking people lead charmed lives that are not entirely deserved. The perks include offers from Calvin Klein to model underwear, despite merely brushing past him on the street in full winter garb; snagging a walk-in table at the hottest restaurant in town; scoring a tennis court from Gayfaces International, and everyone telling you you're the best at whatever you're doing, regardless of skill. Unfortunately for Lemon, this includes sex. Unfortunately for Drew, this includes doctoring. Cue Lemon's self-Heimlich. Lemon decides to inform of his shortcomings, and he seems game... for about five seconds. Then her plan all crumbles faster than a block of feta under a sledgehammer. Drew overcomes his frustration with leading a normal life and invites Lemon back into his life. She almost accepts, but the offer comes with a ride on his motorcycle, whose license plate may or may not read "DETHTRAP." Lemon wisely refuses, and thus endeth Dremon.

Jack renews Tracy's TGS contract, then unwittingly undermines himself by telling Tracy he really has no need to work anymore, since he earned an obscene amount of money last year. Tracy quits on the spot. Jack must employ a disastrous Bill Cosby impression, a fruitless Billy Dee Williams impersonation, and, finally Tracy's sassy kids, who make my life and are just as pissed about Tracy quitting as Jack -- mainly on account of Tracy's Eddie Murphy-level egotism in thinking he can start a musical career. In a last-ditch effort, Jack strategically employs Kenneth to prod at Tracy's weakness (a.k.a. being unable to do anything for himself). Kenneth proves unfit for this task, so Jack pulls a double-dog whamboozle and pretends to fire Kenneth, thereby tricking Tracy into returning.

Jenna concocts another press-grab scheme-slash-reinvention tour (with one stop). She plans to cut her luscious locks for charity on The Today Show. However, the minute she learns Tracy quit TGS, she backs out... even though she is live on air with scissors mid-clip. Last we saw, she was unaware of Tracy's return and furiously looking for a bottle of weave glue.
