at the same time, jack donaghy's (alec baldwin) aspirations of becoming ceo of general electric (ge) comes to a halt when his girlfriend and cnbc host, avery jessup (elizabeth banks) informs him that the philadelphia-based cable company kabletown is rumored to be buying nbc. jack—who serves as vice president of east coast television and microwave oven programming for ge—insists that no sale is pending, as he believes that his mentor and ge ceo don geiss (rip torn) would not agree to such a deal. as rumors persist, jack panics, but things get worse when he learns from former ge chairman jack welch (as himself) that don geiss has been dead for weeks and that the company negotiated a takeover with kabletown. welch kept geiss's death a secret while negotiations took place. liz comforts jack when he admits his dream of running ge is crushed. the next day, on avery jessup's program, "the hot box", jessup confirms that the buyout has gone forward, praising jack donaghy as a wise choice to lead kabletown's new acquisition. jack, who is watching the program, is cheered by this.
