- Open with Avery bailing on going to Cerie's wedding with Jack. He tells her it will be a Who's Who of New York royalty ("The Astors, the Rockefellers, the Sbarros.") She still passes, citing a medication and tells Jack to do some thinking while she's out of town. After Avery leaves, Nancy shows up unexpectedly.
Liz tells Cerie she's coming to the wedding alone. She is attending three weddings that day and tells Jenna she does want to have a date for Floyd's wedding. Liz goes through her man rolodex to find someone.
Liz shows up at Drew's (Jon Hamm) place and asks if he's seeing anyone. He isn't, but he has lost both of his hands in incredibly stupid ways. Liz leaves.
Tracy tells his entourage he wants to do "Garfield 3" this summer. Dot Com and Kenneth suggest he go for the 'O' (the Oscar) in his EGOT necklace and take a dramatic role in "Hard to Watch," a movie about growing up in Tracy's old neighborhood.
Jack tells Liz his woman situation is getting out of control. His plan is an unromantic evening -- movie about female circumcision followed by "too much Indian food" -- with Nancy so he can avoid the problem.
Tracy says he can't relate to "Hard to Watch," despite the fact it's basically about his life. He doesn't recall any of the major events from the script that correspond to his life, and Dot Com thinks Tracy must be repressing. Dot Com thinks Tracy must reconnect with his roots to get the 'O.'
Liz next tracks down Dennis (Dean Winters). He is working on a re-creation of the Balloon Boy hoax except he plans to keep the boy in the balloon. Liz rescues little Jose and takes off.
After dinner Jack tries hard to resist Nancy's advances. But as he tries ordering her a car she appears in lingerie. He grabs her and heads for the bedroom.
At Cerie's rehearsal dinner Liz tells Jenna she's having no luck with finding a date. At this point Cerie introduces her to the man she'll be sitting next to and it, of course, turns out to be Wesley Snipes (Michael Sheen). He smile and Liz yells "No!" Wesley figures out Liz isn't with anyone and hasn't had luck the past two months finding someone better. Reluctantly she invites him to Floyd's wedding.
The next morning Nancy seems very happy they took the next step and had sex. He doesn't think they should make a big deal out it. She then tells him he is only the second guy she's slept with.
Dot Com and Kenneth take Tracy back to the building he grew up in. Though it has been converted to a copy store, the back stairwell is still the same. Tracy sits on the stairs and starts sobbing as he remembers the horrible memories from his childhood: "I slept on an old dog bed stuffed with wigs, I watched a prostitute stab a clown, our basketball hoop was a ribcage. A ribcage!" Tracy says he hates pain and wants to go back to "Garfield 3."
Jack tells Liz he slept with Nancy. Liz thinks he has to tell Nancy about Avery. Jack is very interested to hear Floyd's wedding will be Catholic.
At the church Wesley tells Liz he's recently lost his job and doesn't want to go back to London because he doesn't think they're prepared for the Olympics.
Tracy is way too dramatic and intense for his "Garfield 3" green screen work. He tells the director that "there is something inside me that needs to come out" and walks off stage to the clapping of Dot Com and Kenneth.
Liz strikes up a conversation with Mike, the other person who is reading during the ceremony. He's a conservative-looking single lawyer and she asks him to be her date for the wedding. He says yes, then tells her he's a plushie: "I belong to a group of like-minded people who dress up in mascot costumes and have orgies in hotel rooms and state parks." Liz walks immediately over to Wesley and tells him they should get married.
Floyd's ceremony begins and Jack and Nancy sit down in the church. He tells her he is seeing someone else and "I think I'm in love with both of you." She is furious and wants to storm out but Jack reminds her they're in mass and must stay until the final blessing. She says the second the ceremony is over "I'm on the first train to Boston and you'll never see me again."
Cut to Liz finishing her reading. She gets a text from Jack telling her to stall or he'll "lose Nancy forever." She then moves to an "unscheduled reading" and starts reading random Bible passages that all end up being totally inappropriate.
The episode ends there, with a "To Be Continued."
