30 Rock

This week Liz Lemon launches her newest campaign to take charge of life "like a phoenix rising from the ashes." Just as she announces her latest campaign, she gets hit by a bike messenger, summoned to jury duty, and assigned to solve a PR crisis caused by Tracy and Jenna. To make things worse, Liz cannot get out of jury duty even with her Princess Leia act. When she leaves for jury duty, she doesn't leave anyone in charge and allows TGS to go without direction.



After Jenna passes out and Tracy cusses on the live television broadcast of the St. Patrick's Day parade, they decide to take action over their lives. Jenna - worn out from working TGS during the day and not-a-Janis-Joplin-biopic at night - decides to stay awake forever. Dr. Spaceman gives her a military-grade experimental drug currently being tested on rats. Meanwhile, Tracy realizes that having the money to pay FCC fines means you can say anything you want on TV. Which he does to Martha Stewart. When he finds out that advertisers are pulling out of the show, he decides to sponsor the show.



Meanwhile, Jack desperately tries to find a name for a pocket microwave oven that is not offensive in any language. With Liz gone, Jack assigns the writing staff to this task. Kenneth suggests "The Funcooker" which Jack decides is the perfect name.



While her staff works Jack's project, Liz is on a court case about a woman whose work life and frustrations parallel her own (the both have employees named Tracy and Jenna). The woman's solution is to torch their mailboxes and "rise from the ashes like a phoenix."



Back at the studio, the taping of TGS is interrupted by Dr. Spaceman who desperately forces Jenna to sleep because she might die like the test rat. As the doctor wrestles bear-costumed Jenna, Tracy creates a diversion by dropping trou and showing his "Funcooker" to America. Everyone realizes that's where Kenneth heard the name. Sadly, this leaves Jack with thousands of pocket microwaves.



Fed up with the chaos, Liz ponders over a box of matches and thinks of the woman in court. She accidentally does start a small fire which is quickly put out but scares everyone out of their bad behavior.
