"Respawn" is the twenty-third episode and season finale of the fifth season of the American television comedy series 30 Rock, and the 103rd overall episode of the series. It was directed by Don Scardino, and written by Hannibal Buress and Ron Weiner. The episode originally aired on the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) network in the United States on May 5, 2011. Guest stars in this episode include Victor Garber, Chris Parnell, Will Forte, Adriane Lenox, and Ina Garten.
In the episode, TGS head writer Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) has her vacation ruined when Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan) shows up; Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) uses Kenneth Parcell (Jack McBrayer) to get over the abduction of his wife Avery (Elizabeth Banks); Jenna Maroney (Jane Krakowski) has to choose between her role as spokeswoman for the Wool Council and her relationship with Paul (Will Forte); and the TGS writers are engaged in a continuous Halo: Reach session.
With the fifth season of TGS with Tracy Jordan over, and having been fined for incurring a hate crime against what the council is claiming to be a "Jewish tree" in the previous episode, Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) escapes to The Hamptons for a relaxing summer vacation. However, her peace and quiet is disturbed when she discovers that Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan) is staying in the house next door to hers and plans on having a disruptive summer full of loud partying.
