Liz hired a new female writer because people were saying that 'TGS hates women,' and Jack tried to please Kabletown chief Hank Hooper's granddaughter since she might one day inherit the network. These aren't the most original plots the show has had -- they've had plots in the past that were very similar to these -- but they were both deeply satisfying tonight.
There are two reasons why the Abby Flynn plot worked. Oh, get your mind out of the gutter! I'm talking about the two different personalities that Cristin Milloti showed: Abby the buxom blonde with the baby voice and Abby the alternative comic with the razor wit. This was a great performance with a clever ending: Abby won't be sticking around because she has to come up with a new identity because Liz blew her older one. But God, how was Liz supposed to know that? Give her a break.
Speaking of great performances, Chloe Moretz's job as Hooper's granddaughter Kaley was truly kick-ass, and I'm not just saying that to reference the movie because I haven't seen it. She's like Don Geiss' daughter Kathy, only she can speak, she's smart and has just as many clever plans to control Kabletown/NBC as Jack does. It's as if Jack has to always battle someone to get ahead at NBC, whether it's Kathy, Devon Banks, or someone else.
