Jenna is incensed that Liz's unexpected wedding the day before has upstaged her plans for a surprise wedding with fiancé Paul L'astnamé. As a peace offering, Jenna is invited to accompany Liz to a reception honoring the "80 Under 80" from an organization called Women in Media. Liz is one of the women who will receive an award at the reception. Jenna plans to get her revenge by disrupting the ceremony with a surprise wedding, but Liz is able to thwart her plan with unflattering stage lighting. Jenna eventually admits that she is having trouble adjusting to the new power balance in their relationship, as Liz has more success in her life. The award ceremony features cameos from
Pat Battle,
Judy Gold,
Gayle King,
Sue Simmons, and
Wendy Williams. Jack's mother (
Elaine Stritch) comes to visit and continually warns him she will not live much longer, which annoys him. When she does in fact pass away during the visit, Jack deals with his grief by deciding to perform the greatest eulogy of all time. He is successful through the means of emotional stories, comedic anecdotes, a flute solo of
Danny Boy, an unseen performance from
Sir Paul McCartney and the
Harlem Boys Choir, and a lesson on the afterlife from
Kermit the Frog. Despite his success, the end of the service is interrupted by Jenna and Paul's surprise wedding. Jack allows it, as his mother would have hated it. Kenneth tells Tracy he is upset that his girlfriend Hazel lost her job at
TGS and then dumped him. Tracy tries to cheer Kenneth up by making life more like TV, where people never leave. This includes bringing in old TV star
Florence Henderson. When Tracy "recasts" the "role" of Hazel with a new woman, Kenneth realizes how much his friend cares for him. ==Reception==
