Over at Jack's apartment, Avery calls for some Reagan-masked Skype sex with Jack. The only catch is that he's holding Liddy, who will undoubtedly be scarred for life by this faint memory. The nanny takes the baby away, grumbling, "You people have too much money." After Jack defends the amount of "Reagan time" he's been sharing with Liddy, Avery tells him that her trip has been extended. She offers to get out of it, but he's enjoying his one-on-one time with the baby and tells her to stay, as long as she brings back some throwing stars for Liddy. She thanks him for being the best husband ever, then rewards him by putting back on the Reagan mask and eating jelly beans sensually.
The next day, Kenneth is walking down the hall with Grizz and Dot Com. He throws a piece of garbage toward the trashcan and misses, warranting a "Smooth move, Ferguson." Tracy pops out of the garbage can and yells that he knew they were disobeying his orders to drop any inside jokes. Tracy demands they explain to him why the joke is funny, but it turns out to be a case of "You had to be there" involving a Mexican delivery boy. Tracy says then so be it. He tells them to recreate all the events surrounding "Smooth move, Ferguson" so he can join the joke and "they" can get on with their lives.
Upstairs, Jack's phone starts to ring. Jonathan runs into his office to tell him to turn off the TV. Jack clicks on the tube and goes live to a statement from Kim Jong-Il (Margaret Cho) announcing that Avery has been captured in North Korea. The newscast goes back to the anchor, who reminds us, "It's never too early to plan your dog's Halloween costume!" Jack gasps, "I told her to stay. I didn't want her at home. This is my fault." Jonathan notes if he just says one more syllable, he'll have written a haiku. Jack says glumly, "Leave." Hope you enjoyed your Secretary's Day poem, Jonathan!
City Hall. Lemon strides in confidently, only to emerge bedraggled a few moments later. She seeks refuge, as usual, in Jack. He says he can relate because he's got his own problem. She tells him it to lay it on her, so he mentions that Avery has been kidnapped by Kim Jong-Il. She wails, "What? Is she a spy? Oh God, I already know too much!" Jack calms her down, saying Avery was probably detained to bolster the country's propagandist machine. Flash to a news broadcast of Avery saying, "And in food news, you've had enough to eat today. And now with the weather, here's Johnny Mountain." As you can guess "Johnny Mountain" is really Kim Jong-Il, who declares, "North Korea: Everything sunny all the time always! Beach party!"
