Jack and Bianca (Rossellini again) finally sign their divorce papers, after being separated since the late '80s, but he has trouble letting her go.  (Emotionally.  Rossellini wouldn't be back.)  The episode is also notable for (re)introducing Tracy's wife Angie (played from here on out by Sherri Shepherd) and a new romantic prospect for Liz, a man named Floyd (played by Jason Sudeikis).  However, Floyd meets Liz because he sent flowers to his girlfriend for Valentine's Day and they were delivered to the similarly named Liz Lemon by mistake.  Meanwhile, another future "couple" is being set-up, with Frank and Jenna having it out about his dislike of her, leading to them laughing together and sort of becoming friends.  And I guess you can say that Kenneth/Cerie starts here, although I don't think we're meant to take that at all seriously, especially since she makes up with her fiance.  Note the irony of Jack wanting to buzz Trump Tower with a helicopter, just to annoy "Donald."

Rachel Hamilton makes her first of two appearances as Rachel, while Rachel Dratch's role is Vlem the Polish (?) prostitute.  Joy Behar appears as herself, talking about losing her virginity at the '68 Democratic Convention.  This is one of the episodes that IMDB has Sue Galloway as uncredited for, although I've seen her before.  She plays Sue, one of the female writers, whom we'll eventually find out is European (Dutch and something I think).  So far she hasn't had any lines, although the brunette female writer has a couple here.  Fey wrote this episode and it's the first of eleven directed by Michael Engler.
