Jack finds out that he's going to be the next in line to head up the NBC corporation and decides to bump Liz up to the executive level. Liz immediately sells out when she sees her starting salary, but starts to crack under the pressure of the job. Before anything can become official, Jack's boss goes into a coma. Jack's rival Devin Banks, played by Will Arnett, takes advantage of the situation and maneuvers himself into a position of "power behind the throne."
In this scene, Liz promises to bring her friend Pete (Scott Adsit) up to executive, too.
