Down the hall, Lemon bounces down to Jenna's dressing room to make up for putting her sister in harm's way. She offers to let Jenna sing an inauguration-inappropriate song on TGS. Jenna turns up her nose. Lemon resorts to her last-ditch effort: Jenna can tell the writers about a commercial she shot back in her Chicago acting days. Jenna jumps up and runs to the Writers' Room. She announces to the whole crew that Lemon's only acting gig ever was for a phone sex line. Frank immediately finds the clip on YouTube, and the crew has a good laugh at Lemon's expense.
Laugh at what, you ask? Well, for starters, there is some serious '90s mise-en-scène going on. Then there's Lemon's close-cropped curly mop. And, lest we forget, her phone sex name is "Bijou." Followed by, in quick succession: lipstick-stained teeth, implied girl-on-girl, the possibility of sexy talk in English, German, or Polish, and a phone number with only six digits at the end. Jack walks in just as Lemon is seductively pawing a polyester duvet with a rose stem in her mouth, then advising potential hornballs to "Call us! We love to party!" Jack doubles over in laughter. Oh, but there's more -- tug of war, specifically, and another fake European feeding Lemon pizza greasy enough to drip down her mouth. Kenneth wanders in and asks why everyone is laughing so hard about Billie Jean King. That is the last straw for Jack, who blows chunks into Kenneth's interoffice mail box. Jack's literally uncontainable glee kind of kills the mood for everyone else, but he couldn't be happier.
Later, Lemon visits Jack's office to check in on him. He feels great, like a kid again. Jack gets mushy, admitting he doesn't know what he would do without her. She starts to head out. He bids her adieu: "See you tomorrow... Bijou."
And now for a few comedic bijoux...
Café Dennis
Lemon: I don't want to hear about your job, Dennis.
Dennis: One word -- coffee. One problem -- Where do you get it?
Lemon: Anywhere, Dennis. You get it anywhere!
Dennis: Wrong! You get it in my coffee machine. Thirty-eighth and Sixth, in the basement of K-Mart. You just go downstairs, you get the key from David, and boom! You plug in the machine...
Lemon: You're done!
