Liz and Pete wonder about Jenna’s happy, peppy attitude and ask her what’s going on. Jenna admits she met someone who makes her happy. Liz and Pete are worried when they remember other relationships of Jenna’s that have crashed and burned, with the staff taking the brunt of Jenna’s crazy in the aftermath.
Jack inherits Don Geiss’s pet peacock, Argus and thinks Don’s soul may be inhabiting the bird. As Liz talks to Jack, Argus hangs over her shoulder checking her over. When Argus brushes her with his wing, Jack tells Liz Argus has marked her as his “wife.”
Grizz announces to the TGS staff that he is getting married. Liz is already bummed out by the tiny bridesmaids dress she has to try to fit into for Cerie’s wedding. Grizz wonders how he can tell Tracy he wants Dotcom as his best man instead of Tracy, and asks Liz to help him tell Tracy the news. When Liz tries to tell Tracy he can be the lead singer instead of best man at Grizz’ wedding, Tracy insists he will be best man instead.
Jenna introduces Liz and Pete to her boyfriend Paul (guest star Will Forte). Liz has a funny feeling about Paul and snoops around. Liz catches Paul playing with a gold necklace in Jenna’s dressing room and thinks he is acting odd. Liz convinces Pete they must follow Paul to see what he is hiding. That night Liz and Pete follow Paul to a bar where they find out he is performing as a Jenna Maroney impersonator called “Jinnah Baloney.” When Liz confronts Jenna about Paul’s occupation, Jenna tells Liz she met Paul impersonating her at the bar and that she never told Liz because of her “judgmental badger face.”
Tracy tells Liz the real reason he has to be best man at Grizz’ wedding is because Dotcom is secretly in love with Grizz’ fiance named Fiance. Dotcom begs Liz to convince Grizz to let Tracy be his best man. Liz see Jenna in the hallway of 30 Rock, but it turns out is is Paul in full drag, dressed as “Jinnah” instead. Paul tells Liz he really cares about Jenna and would never “tuck his penis again” if she asked him to. As Liz nods in approval of their relationship, Paul and Jenna start to make out in the hallway.
Jack misses Don and tells Argus if only Don Geiss could send him a signal he would know he could talk to Don and tell him everything he needed to tell him before he died. Argus signals for Don to pour him a scotch. Jack realizes he can talk through Argus to Don to tell him he was the father Jack never had.
Liz intercedes for Dotcom, giving Grizz a heartfelt speech about love and how he should treasure it. Grizz is so impressed with Liz’ speech he asks her to be his “Woman of Honor” at the wedding instead of Tracy or Dotcom. A disgruntled Liz tells Pete because she helped Dotcom she has to be at Cerie’s wedding and Grizz’ wedding on the same day.
