However, she becomes frustrated when it turns out that Abby is provocative and extremely stereotypical.

This episode of ''30 Rock'' received generally positive reviews from television critics.

Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) takes the accusation to heart, and begins to wonder if it is true, when she remembers that the last show, in the absence of Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan), had focused entirely on Jenna Maroney (Jane Krakowski) getting her period in different guises, including those of Amelia Earhart and Hillary Clinton. In order to address the criticism, Liz decides to hire an up-and-coming comedienne named Abby Flynn (Cristin Milioti), but becomes frustrated when she turns out to be an embarrassing female stereotype, and so seeks to uncover her real personality. Meanwhile, Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) plots to someday become the CEO of Kabletown, but in order to do that he must first eliminate the competition: the current CEO's granddaughter, Kaylie Hooper (Chloë Grace Moretz). He decides to meet Kaylie, whereupon he discovers that she has little interest in following in her grandfather's footsteps, wanting instead to become a marine biologist. Jack further encourages her along this career path, even introducing her to Bob Ballard, the man who discovered the wreck of the ''Titanic''. However, his efforts begin to work against him, as he yearns for his own childhood dreams of marine biology. Both Liz and Jack's respective plans backfire. Jack discovers that Kaylie has no interest in marine biology. She had, in fact, found out about his own interest by reading his book, ''Jack Attack'', and was attempting to use it against him in the same way he was against her. Meanwhile, Liz discovers that Abby Flynn's real name is Abby Grossman after discovering a video of her doing stand-up online. Liz then posts the video on "Joan of Snark" only to discover that the real reason that Abby was hiding her identity is because her psychopathic ex-husband is hunting her down. This causes a panicked Abby to rush out of the ''TGS'' writers room, screaming that Liz is a Judas to women everywhere. 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「TGS Hates Women」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
