B-
Fey wrote this episode which introduces the marvelous Julianne Moore as Jack's old high school crush Nancy Donovan. Baldwin and Moore have great chemistry together, and Moore is a hoot here with her Boston accent and down-to-earth attitude, so I'm very glad they brought her back. (I'm less glad with what happened to her character, but that's down the road, and we're only one-third into this season.) The other threads, with Liz trying to find the right gift for Jack, Pete trying to use the surprisingly great singer Danny (Cheyenne Jackson) for revenge against Jenna, and Tracy making the writers feel guilty for lying to Kenneth, don't work nearly as well, but this episode is definitely a step up from the previous ones.
Chris Fischer would again play a Policeman. Subhas Ramsaywack returns as Subhas. This is the last time that Teddy Coluca would be the Stage Manager. It's also the 1100th B- I've given, as well as the show that closes out the Oughts.
