"Murphy Brown Lied to Us" is the eighteenth episode of the sixth season of the American television comedy series 30 Rock, and the 121st overall episode of the series. It was directed by John Riggi, and written by Robert Carlock and Vali Chandrasekaran. The episode originally aired on the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) network in the United States on April 19, 2012.
In the episode, Liz (Tina Fey) reconsiders her decision to not have a child; Jenna (Jane Krakowski) stages a celebrity breakdown to bring Paul back to her; and Jack (Alec Baldwin) runs into production problems at his new couch factory.
While cleaning her apartment, Liz (Tina Fey) and boyfriend Criss stumble upon some of her old adoption materials. Liz dismisses the idea of having a child, but Criss seems cautiously open to it. Jack (Alec Baldwin) sets her up on a blind date with his associate Kevin, which she accepts under protest. An encounter with Kevin's exceptional daughter re-inspires her to have children, which is revealed to be Jack's plan all along. Jack encourages Liz to procreate, and Criss and Liz decide to try.
Jack's new couch design is revealed to be extremely uncomfortable due to his insistence on inferior American engineering. After an unsuccessful attempt to market uncomfortable couches, Jack sells them to the CIA for use as interrogation devices. Interrogation of a North Korean spy using the couch reveals a way to recover Jack's wife, Avery Jessup.
Jenna (Jane Krakowski) schemes to win boyfriend Paul back by staging a celebrity breakdown, involving erratic behavior on television. When running through a window lands her in the hospital, Jenna expresses her feelings for Paul to Tracy. Unknown to her, Paul is listening while disguised as a nurse, and the two reunite.
