"What is the matter with everyone? Why are you all giggling?" Liz Lemon asked her writing staff (and best friend Jenna) upon her arrival in the writers' room.
Jenna, who was smirking devilishly, perched on the large conference table and informed her, "Jack was in here looking for you."
"So?" What was so funny about that?
"You should've seen him, Liz. He was grinning like he'd just had some funky brownies," Frank said.
"He's in love," Toofer joined in, in a mocking sing-song tone.
"What?" Liz had to chuckle at that, because... come on, what?
Jenna nodded in agreement, eyes wide. "Yeah. Seriously, you should've seen him. Toofer just asked him how he was, and he went into this whole big thing about how he's started seeing this woman, and they've really hit it off, and -- do you think he's doing Condi Rice again?"
Liz grimaced. "No. No, that ended awhile ago. Thankfully, because I really didn't want to hear about it." She wrinkled her nose. "Gross."
"Well wasn't he dating some newswoman from CNN?" Frank asked, removing his 'Party Of One' trucker hat to scratch the top of his head. He belched shortly thereafter.
"I have no idea. Jack normally keeps the identities of his," Liz made air quotes around, "'lady friends,'" before dropping her arms to her sides again, "a mystery."
"Even from you? Because, I think we all know you and Jack are pretty tight." Jenna nudged her not-so-subtly, and if there weren't fifteen people in the room she would've shoved her off the table.
"We're not that tight, and yes -- he keeps it secret even from me."
Jenna raised her eyebrows. "Well, he was definitely ready to spill just about everything this time. He said he's finally found 'the one.'"
Liz had to roll her eyes at that, because... whatever, every girl that Jack dates is 'the one.' "Well you guys, I'm glad you were amused, but trust me. That's nothing huge. Jack falls in love as often as most people change underwear."
"So... like... once a week?" Frank piped up.
Liz wrinkled her nose again. "Ew."
"Liz?" Cerie called, holding the phone. "Jack's on the line, and he wanted me to remind you that once again, you're five minutes late to your meeting."
Liz rolled her eyes and said, "Tell him I'll be up in a sec," before grimacing one last time at Frank for the underwear comment. "Seriously, Frank. Ew."
Once upstairs, Jonathan let her in to Jack's office, and hissed at her, "Be on time next time!"
Liz glared at him as she shut the door behind herself. She paused a moment, and slowly turned to face Jack, a curious smile now curving her lips. "So I'm 'the one,' huh?"
Jack gave a slow blink, and a sly grin curved his lips. Liz couldn't help but grin right back.
