In the office Jack reassures C.C. that no one will catch them in the act since it's too early for "creative types" and he sent his assistant to a non-existent Italian bakery in the Bronx. But Liz walks in just as they are getting hot and heavy, so Jack quickly introduces C.C. as a "business associate" named Leticia... Gutierrez... Arafat. Shocked, Liz does her best to beat a quick retreat.

After Jenna supposedly wins an award for "Best Actress in a Movie Based on a Musical Based on a Movie", Tracy freaks out because he never won an award and walks off the set.

Frank deliberately infuriates Toofer by dressing more and more like a "Harvard man", and wearing Toofer's exclusive Harvard signet pin on his crotch. Meanwhile, Tracy asks Liz when the Pacific Rim Emmy Awards are so he can fly there to accept in person. Liz tells him that it's happening that night, and that it won't air until 4 a.m. Tracy insists on accepting it by live telecast, and Liz promises she'll set it up.

Liz goes to Jack's for the exclusive dinner, only to find that besides Jack and C.C. the only other guest is Kenneth the page. Jack apologizes, but explains that after thinking about it, he still didn't want anyone to find out, so he could only invite someone with "no influence, or connections, or stature" which pretty much left only Liz. He invited Kenneth so she could have someone to talk to.

Liz goes through with the staged "award ceremony" for Tracy. Tracy snubs Jenna by not thanking her in his acceptance speech, after which he "sharks" Jenna - pulling down her top on what he thinks is broadcast television. Jenna freaks out - because of the snubbing not the sharking - and tells Liz she's sick of it, and that if Tracy can get away with acting like a child, so can she.

C.C. approaches Liz, saying she wants to go public with her love for Jack and is sick of sneaking around to get together with him. Liz insists that she's not the person to ask for advice, but that Jack is crazy about C.C.

Toofer turns the table on Frank, dressing up in Frank's slob chic. They trade mutual insults but neither of them back down and take off the costumes. Meanwhile, C.C. approaches Jack in his office, saying that she settled the lawsuit between the litigants and Jack's corporation so that they can go public with their love. Jack accuses her of doing that just so she can get exposure for her career. C. C. says she should never have taken advice "from a woman who tapes her bra together", which makes Jack think that Liz put the idea in C.C.'s head.

Jenna refuses to work, holing up in her dressing room with her newly assembled gay entourage. As Liz leaves Jenna, Jack berates her for putting the idea of going public in C.C.'s head. In his office, Jack consults with James Carville about being in a relationship with someone in the enemy political camp. Carville tells him he just needs to get ahead of the news "Cajun-style".

Having been dismissed as silly by Liz, Toofer and Frank freak out because they suddenly realize that they don't even really care about their feud - not to mention not wanting to dress like each other anymore - but that if they back down they'll look like fools to the rest of the writing staff. James Carville overhears them in the hall and gives them advice, telling them to do like Karl Rove and change the dialogue, Swift Boat-style. He recommends going after Josh's haircut to take the heat off them.

Liz decides enough is enough and tells Jenna that she's as much work as Tracy, and that she is constantly doing things like pretending to be Jenna's entire fan base and doing things like making fake awards, which she demonstrates by biting a chunk out of Jenna's current award to prove that it's just a cookie. Mollified, Jenna agrees to stop her semi-strike and get back to work. And just as the writers are about to turn on Toofer and Frank for abandoning their "fake feud", they point out Josh's new "frohawk" and suddenly all attention is off of them.

Jack asks C.C. to join him in the executive dining room for lunch, so that he can profess his love for his "liberal hippy dippy mama" to all of his fellow GE execs. His confession spurs a spate of confessions from the conservative execs in the room, including supporting NPR, having children in public schools, and being black. In the spirit of camaraderie, C.C. admits to having voted for Ronald Reagan in 1984, which sends the room into a frenzy of warm applause. Jack's plan to go public has worked.
Don Geiss, the Chairman of GE, pays Jack a visit with some surprising news; he wants to make Jack the new Chairman of the company when he retires. Jack starts crying with joy. But before he can accept, he needs to find a successor and Don needs to get the board's approval.
The writers are all mad because the script they worked so hard on was eaten up by a computer virus. Liz blames Frank for downloading the virus but Frank finds a way to turn the blame onto Liz.
Tracy is feeling hurt by his own son, Tracy, Jr. Earlier in the day, he drove to his son's school to give him his flute and discovered it was "Bring Your Dad to School Day" and he wasn't invited.
Jack finds Liz hiding out and can't wait to share with her the good news about his soon-to-be announced promotion. He knows he'll be a shoe-in with the board of directors and is just waiting for their approval.
Jack suddenly smells self tanner and teeth whitener and realizes his arch nemesis, Devon Banks, is in the building. Devon vows he'll be the one running the company. He also wants to throw his bachelor party on the TGS stage. To Liz's protest, Jack agrees.
Tracy is determined to leave a legacy for his sons to be proud of. He enlists Kenneth's help. Tracy comes up with the perfect idea: a porn video game!
Liz gets stuck talking to Devon in the elevator. She knows Devon wants information about Jack and she's determined to keep it from him, but fails. She gives Devon information he can run to his future father-in-law about. Liz even offers up Kenneth if Devon will keep his mouth shut. He doesn't take the bait. Liz mauls him in the elevator for video proof that they got physical, in hopes of blackmailing him.
Liz shows Jack the tape of her mauling Devon in the elevator. She says her technique was pretending Devon was a sandwich. Jack is impressed and thinks he's just found the perfect successor.
Liz doesn't think she's cut out for Jack's job but then he tells her the starting salary. She's sold! Later that evening, Jack takes her to dinner with other top-shelf businessmen at GE. She blends right in.
Tracy is working around the clock trying to create the perfect porn video game. Frank stands by his claim that it can't be done. But Kenneth believes in Tracy's idea.
After getting ahold of Tracy's notes, Frank breaks down. He can't believe that Tracy has found the secret to combining porn with video games. Frank becomes overly jealous of Tracy's successful plan.
Jack and Liz find Don in a diabetic coma. Jack needs Don to wake up in order to name Jack as his successor. The doctor can't revive Don and nobody believes Jack's when he says he's the successor. Devon steps in and claims the role of Don's successor and the others believe him because he's Don's future son-in-law.
Devon surprises Jack in his office and Jack immediately orders him out. He alerts Jack that Don's daughter, Cathy, has been named Don's successor and Jack is stunned. Devon also announces that he and Cathy are taking over Jack's office and order him out.
