Meanwhile, Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) boards a plane with her boyfriend, Carol (Matt Damon), as the pilot.

Elsewhere, Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan) deals with the pressure of having won an EGOT and the formal expectations that he has to meet. ==Plot== Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) leaves for Toronto with his wife Avery (Elizabeth Banks), where she unexpectedly goes into labour several weeks early. The pair are horrified at the idea that their child might be born in Canada – since that affects the child's right to become President – and make a dash for the United States border. Along the way they meet a meth smuggler called Lorne (special guest star John Cho), who gives them a ride. Meanwhile, Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) is going on holiday with Carol (Matt Damon), except that he is flying the plane that they will be going on. He makes a remark about contrasting the plane with a "Tallahassee strip club." When it comes time for take off, however, the plane does not move and Carol issues repeated announcements that the plane will leave "in about half an hour" until they have been sat on the tarmac for hours. Back at ''TGS'', Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan) has finally achieved one of his lifetime ambitions - to EGOT ("E" standing for "Emmy", "G" for "Grammy", "O" Oscar", and "T" for "Tony"). However, he is dismayed when he learns that he is now expected to shoulder greater responsibility and set a good example to others. Ultimately, Liz leads a protest against Carol's handling of the plane which results in the pair breaking up, Jack and Avery decide to have the baby in Canada after talking with Lorne, and Tracy announces to Kenneth Parcell (Jack McBrayer) that he is going to Africa in order to do good. However, it is revealed that he was lying to Kenneth and has in fact decided to hide out in a warehouse in an undisclosed location, so that he does not have to deal with the responsibility expected of him. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Double-Edged Sword (30 Rock)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
