Meanwhile, Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) boards a plane with her boyfriend, Carol Burnett (Damon), as the pilot. Things do not go well for Liz and the other passengers when the plane has not flown yet and Carol keeps telling them that they will leave "in about half an hour" several times. Elsewhere, Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan) deals with the pressure of having won an EGOT and the formal expectations that he has to meet.
