As the title suggests, this episode introduces Liz's ex, Dennis Duffy (Dean Winters), whom she's gotten back together with. It's clearly a mistake, as both Jenna and Jack recognize.  Even Liz admits that she's settling.  She promises to break up with Dennis, but instead she lets him move in.  I like the humor about him being a beeper salesman and, yes, it's a sign that we are in the modern era of sitcoms.

Frank Anello and Teddy Coluca are again respectively part of the Production Staff and the Stage Manager.  Brian Stack is Howard Jorgensen for the first of three times.  Ali Reza's first of three 30 Rock roles is the Sandwich Guy.  And this time Rachel Dratch is Liz Taylor.  This is the first of 20 30 Rock episodes written by Jack Burditt, but director Juan J. Campanella didn't work on any other of my shows.
