30 Rock. When Kenneth hands Jenna another Carvel refund, she realizes he's not comprehending their scheme and explains it to him. Naturally he objects, but Jenna hands him his cut and explains how much good he can do for his community back home with their take. Kenneth delights at the chance to buy those magic beans from the old hermit in the woods.
Boys & Girls Club commercials. It's another perfect take for the kids as we pan across to Tracy, who has taken off his top. He screams out, "Shirt on or off, Sean?" The director yells angrily "On!" Tracy responds, "Good note. Back to one." Jack comes upon this scene, and Tracy calls to take a break so he can introduce everyone to Jack. Director Sean begs Jack to fix his problem, and Jack backs away nervously. Daunted by Lemon's problem, he deems himself "the Sisyphus of Reaganing." Tracy takes inspiration from that verbal flourish and insists they do another take.
Before they start rolling, Jack looks at a jar of jelly beans on the craft services table and apologizes to it, symbolically apologizing to Reagan for failing. He starts to tell the director about how Reagan's aides used his favorite jelly beans to help him through his early years with Alzheimer's. Suddenly, Jack is struck by inspiration. He hands over the jar of jelly beans for Tracy to chew so his mouth is moving when Jack mimics his voice and delivers the line: "Boys & Girls Clubs of America -- Be Great!" One problem down, one to go, Jack runs back to the cab to find Lemon.
30 Rock. Kenneth talks on the phone and says consolingly, "Don't you worry, I'm sending money so you can get your operation." Pause. "Now can we put a human on the phone?" He loses his connection and continues filling out the envelope in which he plans to send his family money. His dreams are dashed when Jenna returns to tell him she's been figured out and banned from Carvel ice cream for life. Kenneth grows frantic. His face hardens as he suggests they consider a con that's more long-term. Jenna is at once frightened and turned on, which is pretty much her day-to-day cocktail of emotions if you believe all the Mickey Rourke stories.
