- Everybody becomes confused when Liz suddenly becomes cheerful, Jack tries to talk Jenna out of being the mean judge in a children's reality talent show, and Kenneth prepares for what he believes to be the imminent Rapture.
- As everyone returns from holiday break, NBC's new talent competition, "America's Kidz Got Singing", is a hit, but Jenna's role as the judge everyone loves to hate causes Jack to question the show's family value. Much to his chagrin, Tracy's usual antics fail to aggravate Liz, while Kenneth takes the day off to do his dream chores as he awaits the Rapture.—NBC Publicity
- Open with an episode of "America's Kidz Got Singing." Judges D'Fwan and John McEnroe love the first kid, while Jenna hates him.
Jack and Liz spot the show on a TV in a window and he tells her how popular "Kidz" has been for the network. Jack enjoyed time with his daughter over the holiday. Tina doesn't think Jack knows her as well as he thinks he does.
Kenneth's Reverend Gary has told him that the world is ending the next day. He's happy because he's going to heaven. Tina tells him to enjoy his final day.
Jenna tells Liz that because of her time on "Kidz" she's "blowing up." Tracy is super-jealous of her new success, but Liz decides not to coddle him. Jack has enrolled Liz in a website called Desperationships.com.
At the next taping of "Kidz," Liddy rips into a little girl who has the same first name as Jack's daughter (Liddy). Jack yells at Jenna to leave her alone. While Jenna gives her catchphrase "Go jump back up your mother," Jack seems very upset.
Given the option to do whatever he wants, Kenneth is choosing to finish his "dream chores." Frank mentions seeing "flaming horses" outside, which Gary said was one of the signs of the apocalypse.
Tracy wants Liz to pay attention to him or else he's going to do something incredibly self-destructive. She continues to ignore him, even saying she plans to leave early that day. Tracy has no idea what's happening.
Despite the high ratings, Jack talks to Jenna about her on-screen persona. He wants her to be nice to the kids. Everybody hates her, but she tells Jack "they love to hate me." He asks her to ease up on the kids and Jenna is confused.
After Kenneth cheers up Liz (another thing on his list), Pete wants to know why he isn't experiencing some legitimate things -- flying in a plane, seeing the ocean, falling in love, etc.
Tracy asks Jenna about Liz acting so weird. He needs to get her focus back on him. Jenna suggests he follow Liz to see what's going on.
At the next "Kidz" taping Jenna is nice to the singers. D'Fwan tells Jack he's messing up a good thing. Jack changes his mind and takes Jenna off the leash.
The next day Kenneth is at work with a "RAPTURE" t-shirt on.
At the next taping Jenna is particularly brutal.
Jack brings Liddy into his office and tries to explain to her why he's allowing "Kidz" to be on the air. He starts to feel bad and reaches for the phone to cancel the show. The baby touches his hand and says "mommy," followed by "I want mommy." He hears it as "money" and doesn't cancel the show.
At the end of the day the world hasn't ended. Pete stops the writers from making fun of Kenneth.
Tracy tells Jack that based on how happy Liz has been, she must be a crack whore. He found a pill he thinks is drugs, but Jack recognizes it as something for joint pain. Based on the pill and Liz spending time near Madison Square Garden Jack has an idea. He mentions Liz's jazz-dance background.
Jack and Tracy sit in the stands of a WNBA game and see that Liz is part of jazz dance team the "Timeless Torches."
Kenneth is taken to see the ocean.
Jack takes the supremely happy Liz home. He drops her off at the movies and sees her kiss somebody we can't see.
