With the revelation that Tracy Jordan is still in New York City somewhere, Liz Lemon and Kenneth Parcell conduct a search to find him before upper management can cancel TGS in his absence. Their search leads them to a warehouse that Tracy appears to have been hiding out in until recently. Meanwhile, Jenna Maroney is set to star in a torture porn movie called Take My Hand, but upon informing Jack Donaghy of this, he recognizes it as a failed NBC production from a number of years ago. With the budget threatening to overwhelm, Jack is determined to make the film profitable in some way. In the writers room, Pete Hornberger argues with Frank Rossitano over where they should order their lunch from, which results in the pair having an arm wrestling match which Pete wins. His victory earns him newfound respect amongst the TGS crew but brings him into a confrontation with an unpleasant member of staff named Reggie, whom he challenges to a match. Unexpectedly; however, Pete and Reggie end up bonding as they discuss their respective families. It transpires that Reggie has invited his family to watch the arm wrestling match and so Pete decides to let him win so that his son can feel proud of his father. Ultimately, everything turns out to have been a fabrication within his mind and Pete reawakens to find himself losing the original match with Frank. Finally, Jack's quest to make Take My Hand profitable leads him to enlist Wal-Mart as a sponsor and rope in Everybody Loves Raymond producer Phil Rosenthal, before ultimately modifying the film to suit a family audience. Liz decides to stage another webcam conversation between Kenneth and Tracy, in the hope that the latter will in some way give up his location. Despite Kenneth largely giving the ploy away, Liz recognizes where he is hiding — the unused upstairs level of her apartment that she had acquired from her upstairs neighbor. The pair finally apprehend Tracy and convince him to destroy his good reputation so that he can return to TGS.
