"Nothing Left to Lose" is the sixteenth episode of the sixth season of the American television comedy series 30 Rock, and the 118th overall episode of the series. It was directed by John Riggi, and written by Lauren Gurganous and Nina Pedrad. The episode originally aired on the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) network in the United States on April 5, 2012.
In the episode, Jack (Alec Baldwin) encourages ambition in defeated employee Pete (Scott Adsit); Tracy's restored sense of smell causes him to treat Liz (Tina Fey) as a father figure; and Jenna (Jane Krakowski) has another prank war with the writers.
Kabletown's employee self-evaluations reveal that Pete (Scott Adsit) only hopes to maintain his current position. Jack (Alec Baldwin) considers his lack of ambition a personal failure and tries to boost his confidence. After a series of pathetic failures, Jack admits he is only stalling to avoid filling out his own self-evaluation, and Pete throws him out of his office for making his life even worse (and making him shave his ring of hair, revealing an obscene birthmark).
When releasing his new fragrance, Tracy (Tracy Morgan) reveals he has had no sense of smell since childhood. Dr. Spaceman (Chris Parnell) removes a Buck Rodgers decoder ring stuck up his nose. Tracy's new sense of smell associates the pomade of Liz (Tina Fey) with the father that abandoned him and begins behaving like a model employee to impress her. Although she is thrilled with his behavior, Liz finds out he has abandoned his family in the process, and asks Dr. Spaceman to reverse the operation for Tracy's own good.
