Episode chronology

"Queen of Jordan 2: Mystery of the Phantom Pooper" is the twentieth episode of the sixth season of the American television comedy series 30 Rock, and the 123rd overall episode of the series. It was directed by Ken Whittingham, and written by Luke Del Tredici and Tracey Wigfield. The episode originally aired on the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) network in the United States on May 3, 2012.

The episode takes the format of a mock reality show centered on Tracy's wife, Angie Jordan (Sherri Shephard), similar to the Season 5 episode "Queen of Jordan". In the episode, Jack (Alec Baldwin) attempts to cover up his mutual attraction with his mother-in-law (Mary Steenburgen); Liz (Tina Fey) feuds with Tracy's two-year-old daughter; and Angie expects a romantic surprise from Tracy at the end of her fashion show.

Plot

Jack (Alec Baldwin) receives a call from the U.S. State Department saying that they have recovered kidnapped wife Avery in a prisoner exchange with North Korea. When Avery's mother Diana (Mary Steenburgen) comes by to help with the reunion, she says on camera that they shouldn't tell Avery about "us." Jack and Diana both make up excuses about what she meant, which are combined into the lie that they are opening a Russian restaurant together that night. Having completed the ruse, they congratulate each other at the opening party, but then succumb to their impulses and kiss. Liz (Tina Fey) covers for them by saying that Jack kisses everyone, European-style, and Jack and Liz reluctantly kiss to illustrate the point.

Liz seeks to spend time with Tracy's two-year-old daughter Virginia to gain experience for her possible motherhood. She accidentally insults Virginia's thighs, resulting a trumped-up reality show "feud" between them. Liz begins to have doubts about her suitability as a mother. When Virginia sees Liz cover for Jack, she is impressed by her sacrifice and ends the feud. The network sends them on a televised vacation together to Somalia.

Tracy's wife Angie is focused on the launch of her new clothing line, including an on-air fashion show. She hints to Tracy that she expects a romantic gesture at the show, but Tracy prefers to play video games. When Angie storms into his dressing room to yell at him, Tracy rebels with the subtext that he is stirring up a fight to boost the ratings of the show. Angie picks up the cue, and the two agree to have a drawn-out divorce in a staged argument.
