Cunningham (Edie Falco), (played in a movie-of-the-week by Kristen Wiig); Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) believes that her new neighbor, Raheem Haddad (Fred Armisen), is a terrorist; and Kenneth Parcell (Jack McBrayer) accidentally loses a pair of Jack's trousers.
This is because the company is allegedly leaking Auburn Fantasy Dye Number 260 into the Chicktaugua River, causing the children of Chickataugua to turn orange.
Liz is worried when she smells maple syrup in her apartment and Jack tells her that it could be the chemical agent Northrax.
She suspects that her new neighbour, Raheem (Fred Armisen), is a terrorist because he has maps in his apartment and she has seen him and his brother, Hakeem (Hamza Ahmed), on an agility course in the park.
At Jack's advice, Liz dobs him in to Homeland Security, but is shocked to discover that the pair are auditioning for The Amazing Race and, in fact, not terrorists.
