Added DiffLines:

Liz is back together with Dennis, a loser whom she had dated a year earlier. Jack tries to convince Liz that she can do better than this and offers to mentor her. Tracy is outraged when a tabloid calls him "normal," Jenna worries about her age, and Josh offends Creator/ElizabethTaylor with his impression of her.

!!Tropes present in this episode:

* AffectionateGestureToTheHead: Dennis gives Liz a noogie, something which would become a trademark of his character.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Jenna wrote a letter to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Peterson Scott Peterson]]. "After he dyed his hair and got super thin from all the stress," obviously.
* AllWomenArePrudes:
-->'''Jenna:''' How's the sex?\\
'''Liz:''' Fast and only on Saturdays. It's perfect!
* DeusExMachina: A sudden blackout saves the ''TGS'' crew from having to put on a show that would have been disastrous.
-->'''Jack:''' We dodged a bullet here tonight, Lemon.\\
'''Liz:''' Yes, this blackout is a fortunate coincidence. You didn't do it, right?\\
'''Jack:''' What, do you think I control the universe?
* DiscoDan: Dennis sells beepers, which had been replaced by cell phones by 2006. He insists that "technology is cyclical" and that beepers will therefore make a comeback sooner or later. Frank decides to buy some as "ironic accessories."
* FanOfUnderdog: Dennis is a fan of the New York Islanders hockey team and is sent into a depression when they lose a game:
-->'''Liz:''' Doesn't that happen a lot?\\
'''Dennis:''' I knew you wouldn't understand.
* ForgottenBirthday: Liz and Dennis got back together because he was the only one who remembered her birthday.
* PurpleEyes: Elizabeth Taylor (played here by Rachel Dratch) is portrayed with these, of course.
* RatKing: Dennis claims to have seen one. Later, Liz realizes that Dennis is a metaphorical rat king.
* TakeThat: Liz mentions that one of their worst shows featured a Creator/GilbertAndSullivan parody. This is undoubtedly a reference to the MajorGeneralSong parody seen in the second episode of ''Series/Studio60OnTheSunsetStrip''.
* WhiteDwarfStarlet: Jack gets Jenna worried that she's becoming one.
