[edit] Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Jack tries to unload his line of inferior wine, so he enlists rap producer Ridikolus, played by LL Cool J, to help him sell it. Kenneth the page has a few altercations with Ridikolus which causes a rift with Tracy Jordan. Meanwhile, a reluctant Tracy attends The Source Awards; and Liz looks to sever ties with Tracy's business manager Steven Black. Liz can not break up with Steven as she fears accusations of racism. By the episode's end, she accidentally shoots Steven with Tracy Jordan's gun.

[edit] Trivia

When Tracy is planning to run away from Ridikolus and start a new life, he chooses the name "Ron Mexico." This is a reference to Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick. In 2005, Vick's former girlfriend claimed that Vick had genital herpes and received clinic treatments under the name Ron Mexico.
