Late-Night Wars

Tracy warns her about letting her party get out of hand. "Parties are like Frisbees," he warns her. "If you throw them the wrong way, they'll veer off in a bad direction, and then your kid will fall into a quarry!" He warns further warns her not to throw her party for vengeance: "It'll turn on you -- like your wife... after your kid has fallen into a quarry." Sounds like someone has some personal experience here. And that someone is not Lemon. She exasperatedly tells Tracy she doesn't need him and is going to have a great party with or without him. She hangs up with a face that suggests she knows that outcome is not possible.

On the other side, Tracy frets that a party needs saving, and he's the only one who can do it. Furthermore, he worries that his body will heed the call of a busted-ass party even if his mind knows he needs to attend to his pregnant wife. He reaches a solution: He will wear Tracy Sr.'s electric collar. It's the only way.

30 Rock. Jack is negotiating the terms of Khonani's move to 11:30 with Subhas. It gets ugly quick, so Jack diplomatically suggests they "reinvent the way people think about their nightly trash removal." He thinks if Subhas moves to 10:00 p.m., everyone will get what they want and he'll look like a genius and a hero. He even coins a term for this situation: Innoventing.

Tracy's house. The collar is officially on. Kenneth wonders how Tracy will stop himself from simply taking it off. Tracy tells him to pour glue in the lock, which is how his children keep him out of the liquor cabinet. Kenneth obliges and offers to stick around to make sure Tracy doesn't get into any hijinks. Tracy refuses, saying Kenneth needs to attend Lemon's party in his place. He takes off his "TJ" bling necklace and anoints Kenneth his rightful replacement. Kenneth starts out the door, but Tracy stops him, saying he doesn't "walk that well." Kenneth staggers out with a more Tracy-appropriate walk, which translates to my eyes as partial stroke victim. Po-tay-to, po-tah-to, I guess.

Jack's office. He stares at the pictures of Avery and Nancy as Khonani mills around. Jack asks how things are going, and Khonani angrily says Subhas emptied all of the trash during his shift, so now there is no trash left for him. Jack thinks quick, suggesting Khonani and Subhas share 11:30. "No," says Khonani firmly, "I wouldn't do that to 11:30." He tells Jack to make a decision. This brings up all of Jack's issues with his double-dipping dating. He says, "Don't you think I know what it's like to have two amazing people who both want the same thing? I do! And with Nancy and Avery, I'm the thing, Khonani. I'm the trash shift." Khonani empathizes that it's a tough situation but says it won't be possible to make everyone happy. One person's heart will be broken, but Jack must choose regardless. Jack bites the bullet and tells Khonani he's sticking with Subhas. Khonani takes it well, assuring Jack not to worry because "I have a job at Fox--" he coughs. "--woods. Foxwoods Casino." As he makes his way out, Jack tells him to get that cough checked out.
