Satellite TV Addict

Liz’s new talk show Dealbreakers is scheduled to air. Jack eagerly looks forward to the new show he created. Liz starts daydreaming about how her life will change if the show is a success. Liz dreams of her fantasy Astronaut boyfriend, her blond makeover and nannies taking care of her baby.

Pete drags Liz from her daydream to deal with Jenna, who has locked herself in her dressing room again, this time because of a picture her little niece drew of her. Jack receives a call from his worst nightmare, Devin Banks, who reminds Jack if the Dealbreakers show fails he will tell Washington insiders Jack spent their bailout money on a failed TV show. Jack realizes Liz has no experience as a performer and feels pressured to make sure the Dealbreakers show succeeds.

Tracy asks Liz to convince his wife Angie they should have a baby girl. When Liz says no way, Tracy locks Liz in handcuffs so she can’t leave his office. Angie arrives and Liz tells her what Tracy has in mind. Angie thinks Tracy is crazy since he hasn’t got time for her and the kids as it is. Tracy swears he will go Christmas shopping for the family to show Angie how responsible he can be. Tracy gets sidetracked and buys a gift for himself, an E.G.O.T necklace that performers who have won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony wear. Tracy is convinced he will win all these awards. Angie says if he can win all those awards she will give him a baby daughter.

Jack pressures Liz to change her looks and get a makeover for the show, forsaking her glasses and image. Liz agrees to laser eye surgery and a new haircut for the sake of the show. Liz is beginning to have stage fright thinking about appearing on the show. Jenna tells Jack he should support Liz and let her be who she is or he will ruin his new talent.

Liz puts Frank in charge of the writing staff. Over the next days Frank morphs into Liz as he deals with the responsibility, complete with long frazzled hair, button down sweater, shoulder bag and full-blown Liz show anxiety. The writers tease Frank about becoming Liz as Frank screams “what’s happening to me?”.

Liz arrives back from her laser eye surgery and makeover with a weird new haircut and outfit, startling Jack with her new look. As Liz starts her promo shoot Jack realizes how unprepared Liz really is to host the show. The high def camera reveals the television version of the TGS staff. A close-up in the high definition camera shows Liz as a haggard looking witch, Jack as a young version of Alec Baldwin and Kenneth as a muppet. Devin sends a bouquet of flowers with a message to Liz on how the show will fail. Liz does a “Jenna” and melts down, locking herself in her dressing room and refusing to host the show.

Tracy gathers his entourage of Jenna, Kenneth, Grizz and Dot Com to decide how he can win E.G.O.T necklace awards. Tracy decides he will create the best song ever adapted to each format to win him the awards. Tracy tries to record his song with five different musical styles and the recording fails, upsetting his plans. Tracy visits Whoopi Goldberg for advice since she has won all four awards. As Whoopi gets Tracy a glass of water Tracy tries to make off with Whoopi’s awards but Whoopi stops him in his tracks, telling him he has to use real talent to win those awards. Tracy follows Whoopi’s advice and sings a song he wrote to Angie. Winning her over with his song, Angie and Tracy decide to make a baby. Tracy keeps his goal of winning his E.G.O.T necklace awards someday.

Jack checks in with Liz the next day. Liz is doing better but worried about the show. Jack tells Liz he has sold her promo shoot to Sheinhardt Universal soap opera. When Sheinhardt Universal airs a sponsored soap opera, Liz’s promo will be showing as a background on the TV in the soap opera scene. As Jack and Liz watch one of the soap opera episodes scheduled to show Liz’s promo, the soap opera actors passionately kiss, get distracted by the promo and ask each other who that weird person is on TV.
