This episode, the first of seven written by Dylan Morgan and Josh Siegal, is best symbolized either by Al Gore returning and telling us why it's important to recycle jokes, or by the title, which is Frank's term for the urine he collects in jars.  Liz moves in with a cool gay cop, but only so she can drive him away and she can buy his apartment when the building goes condo, and she actually uses "sun tea" to achieve her goal.  Meanwhile both Jack and Tracy consider getting vasectomies but don't go through with it, mostly so the series can go on to make them have baby daughters that they'll neglect (Tracy's in particular).  I would've given a C- if not for the Cosby Show parody.

Marceline Hugot returns as Kathy Geiss, while Rip Torn's actual son Tony plays Bertram Geiss, presumably the father of Don Geiss's grandchildren.  Bobb'e J. Thompson returns as Tracy, Jr., and impacts the plot.  Exercise Woman Kristin McGee would next be seen as Kaitlin.  And Sue Galloway is Sue.
