Episode 321 – “Mamma Mia”
Just as he was coming to terms with the realization that the identity of his real father would remain a mystery, Jack is convinced by Liz and her Sims family example that he should go on a search for his dad. Even Tracy agrees. His very own love child tracked him down and after feeling shocked, scared and angry — like a dog in a sidecar when it comes loose from the motorcycle — he discovers one of the greatest joys of his life.
So, Jack, now convinced, embarks on what becomes the basis of a “Mamma Mia”-like scenario. Len, the private detective, digs up the names of three people who could be Jack’s father, and Liz cleverly conceives of a plan to get the three gentlemen to TGS. As the winners of a TGS contest, “my three dads” are flown in to New York to meet with Jack. They are: George Park, a Korean man; Fred O’Dwyer, whose nuts look like a bowl of Spaghetti O’s; and Professor Milton Greene, a liberal-leaning Bennington College professor. Um, Jack?
Tracy goes on to introduce his newest bastard to the bastards on the TGS staff. Funny, he looks like Tracy and seems older than the 21 he claims to be. While Donald continues to embezzle funds from Tracy, Liz and Hornberger try to get to the bottom of things. Seriously, what 20-year old wraps up half a muffin? They put Lutz up to fighting Donald in a karate battle. Unfortunately, Lutz is a putz and Tracy discovers Liz and Hornberger’s scheme. The truth is, he knew about Donald’s scam all along, he just went along with it because Donald was putting all of the money into the Tracy Jordan Institute of Black Karate and doing good for the community.
Jack and Prof. Greene hardly see eye to eye, but it quickly becomes clear that they are related. When Jack tells him the truth, Prof. Greene shouts in glee. He has a son! And, he needs a kidney!
Stay tuned for next week’s season finale, when Jack orchestrates a fundraiser for his dad!
Great quotes from the episode:
Liz: “Be Italian for, like, one second. I’m-a Jack. I don’t know who my father is. I’m-a so emotional I’m gonna smash these barrels!”
Tracy: “Come in Jack, I was just practicing sitting.”
Tracy: “I feel like you’re not telling me something, Jack. Let me guess. You bought a sidecar for your motorcycle and your dog won’t stay in it.”
Tracy: “Everybody, gather up! Actor announcement. No, human announcement. There’s something I want you all to hear directly from me before you read about it in next month’s isssue of Black Entrepreneur and Butts magazine.”
