    Very Interesting Episode!

    This is the ninth episode of the third season of 30 Rock and once again it is full of comedy pleasures. There are moments that feature plenty of laugh-out-loud jokes including my favorite one with had Jack accidentally leaving the microphone on while he was in one of his self-confidence phrases. The episode was full of good one-liners.

    In this episode, "Retreat to Move Forward," Jack brings Liz to a corporate retreat and Liz makes a fool out of herself and Jack. Jenna and Frank sleep together to embarrassing results and Kenneth tries to convince Tracy to eat healthy.

    Overall, this is a very favorable episode. It's really funny and each subplots work in their own way. My favorite was the one between Kenneth and Tracy. I rate this episode 9/10.

      Tracy Jordan: So how bad is diabetes, really?

      Dr. Leo Spaceman: Quite serious. If left untreated you could lose a foot.

      Tracy Jordan: Could I replace it with a wheel, like Rosie from the Jetsons?

      Dr. Leo Spaceman: I suppose. But then you'd have to register as a motor vehicle.
