This is the first of nine 30 Rock episodes Tracey Wigfield wrote, here working with Kay Cannon.  It's also the episode where we actually find out the name, and pronunciation of Jeffrey Weinerslav (Todd Buonopane).  Liz is on probation for "sexual harassment," having in the previous episode unsuccessfully tried to save her show's budget through quid pro quo second base.  At first, she misses the stress, until she meets neighbors who've raised leisure to an art form.  Meanwhile, Jenna is mistakenly reported as dead, which Jack hopes will create some buzz for her Janis Joplin biopic which has no rights to Janis's life.  And Tracy Al-Haigs it in the vacuum of Liz's absence, firing Kenneth's crush that Dot Com is dating.

Danielle Flora, who plays Daphne, would return as a nameless Dancer.  Frank Anello shatters stereotypes with his appearance as a member of the Production Staff.
