Synopsis:

Spoiler:
Jenna hatches a surprising new plan to get publicity, while Jack finds himself begrudgingly playing parent to his teenage nemesis, Kaylie Hooper (guest star Chloe Grace Moretz). Liz rejects the new authority Kenneth has over "TGS" with his new job in Standards.


Episode 11 of 22

Next week this moves to 8:30pm replacing Parks and Recreation.

Didn't care much for Jenna's storyline or Jack's rivalry with the awful Chloe Moretz character, but loved Kenneth blubbering and pouring his Stone Mountain heart out in the mens room.

@ Colin O. Scopy, Gaylord Felcher, Jackie OfficeCouch, Kenneth Toilethole (the latter making an appearance at the end )

I would also probably find the Jack vs. Kaylie story dumb if Baldwin and Moretz didn't do such a great job with the characters. I find it amazing how much Moretz has grown since she played Hitgirl.

Kenneth was great, as always. Liz is really starting to get annoying, as is Jenna.

I agree with both points. I think the actors are able to pull off the story. And I was actually pretty shocked at how Moretz looked in this episode. The whole time I kept wondering if she had been unavailable and they to hire another actress. I just watched Hugo last weekend, and she just looked so different to me in this ep.

Moretz voice sounded funny and kind of unbearable probably because of puberty.

"Enjoying my total lack of adult supervision. I just had fruit roll ups for dinner...at a strip club."

The last 2 shows were ok but not as great as the earlier shows this season. Maybe because Tracy was featured less.

I really liked the Baldwin/Moretz storyline.

Kenneth's nose pressed against the camera lens during his close-up!

I laughed when Jack referred to TV comedies as being filled with vulgarity and pratfalls, and in the background, someone fell and yelled, "OW, my penis!"

Can someone explain why Jack was smelling her wrist and what the significance of the vapor rub was?

She put vapo-rub under her eyes to make her eyes water, so it appeared she was crying. (Someone else did this earlier in the episode - Jenna maybe?). He smelled the vapo-rub on her hands.

Loved the Moretz character. This and "Leap Day" are my favorite episodes of the season so far.
