It's audition day at TGS! Lemon and Pete have already picked their guy. His name is Jayden -- ugh. But they have to make sure Jack thinks he picked him, so they stack the deck in favor of Jayden. And then Lemon spoils everything when she remembers her days in the cattle call and gives Dot Com a pity audition. (To be fair, Dot Com does have a classical background.) Lemon's Achilles' heel foils the Hornberger System of Audition Manipulation, and immediately everyone from Frank to Brian Williams to Cathy Frickin' Geist lines up for a try-out.

Meanwhile, Jenna learns of the impending auditions and takes neurotic to a new level. And that's a new level in Jenna-speak, not by normal people terms. It's pretty astounding. She and Tracy scour the city for "talent" with which to flood Lemon, thereby creating a disaster scenario at the auditions.
