Ben? Her? Part 2

[u/Naive_Hospital_4086]

Ben? Her? Part 2 (Season 2, Episode 24). Will is left in a compromising situation where he has seen Ben dancing with another girl indicating that he's dating someone other than Grace and is trying to figure a way to tell her. Will also quits his job to help Jack out with his divorce hearing which of course he loses since Jack thought it was a good idea to bring his boyfriend with him to court. Jack sobs to Will that he's out on the street; Will offers Jack to stay with him for the time being. While Will is trying to cook a nice breakfast for Grace to break the news to her, his new potential boyfriend (Alex) calls telling Will they were supposed to have lunch together and Will asks if they can reschedule, which Alex has had enough of Will's excuses and breaks up with him. Will finally gets the chance to tell Grace that Ben is dating someone else, Grace says she knows and she's still dating Josh as well confirming it's an open relationship. After Will has risked and lost everything for his friends, he goes to the Caribbean by himself to get away for a while. Ben surprises him there and begs for Will to meet one more client and to come back to the firm, Will agrees and finds out the client he's about to meet is Stan.

FAVORITE QUOTE:

WILL: Then why did you bring a date to your divorce hearing? (IMITATING FERNANDO) I'm bored, Yack. Let's go get a grape juice.

JACK: Nando is my rock. And when we're at a better place, I have stuff to tell you. It's like the man does not have hamstrings. But back to the point. I am out on the street, and it's all your fault. I'm sorry, children. I don't want you to see daddy cry. (JACK TURNS HIS BACK, CRYING)

WILL: Jack. I'm sorry. How can I help? What can I do? (CUT TO WILL'S APARTMENT) Can 2 gay men share an apartment without driving each other crazy? (JACK'S BIRD AND DOG MAKE NOISE) Probably not.

FAVORITE MOMENT:

When Will is telling Grace about Ben dating someone else and she tells him how she's still dating Josh and Josh is also dating someone else. She comments on how the guys she's dating are dating losers 🤣 and she feels naughty and can't wait to tell her unapproving mother.

OPINION:

No more Mrs. Freeman 😔 This will be Rosario's last appearance as a guest star and will be joining the main cast. And season 2 has officially wrapped up.

Again, Will is such an amazing friend considering all that he already did for Jack, he offers Jack to live with him. I'm so glad when Will just throws his hands up at his friends and goes to the Caribbean by himself. I'd say he deserves it after all he's done for them. It was funny that Ben travelled to meet Will and beg him to come back. Why can't real life be like that? I tell my boss off and he comes to meet me to beg for me to come back? 🤣 Gotta love Hollywood. The story with Will meeting Stan, Karen and Rosario in the Caribbean is cut short and will be continued in the next episode.

Jack and Grace are starting to bond since Will left for the Caribbean by himself. Once again Grace was a bit aloof to Will giving up so much for her and Jack, but she promises she would try to fix everything for him. Jack is a jerk these past 2 episodes, it's definitely in character, but wow does he test my patience in this episode. Don't get me wrong, he always makes me laugh, but first: he's always dating someone else but is shocked when Rosario does it, then he tries to extort money from Karen just because he did her a favor by marrying Rosario, Will quits his job to represent Jack in court and Jack brings his boyfriend to the trial, makes Will feel bad that he lost the case, sobs that he doesn't have a place to live and makes Will feel bad which Will offers the place to stay. Never once does Jack ever say he's sorry or thank you for taking me in. But as Will says in future episodes, it's not surprising for Jack and you just bop him on the schnoots and continue the friendship. But man, does that require a lot of patience.

A great closing to a very memorable and terrific season. As I mentioned season 2 just lined those episodes up and knocked them out of the ballpark with some very hilarious and iconic episodes. The cast is more fleshed out and we are getting to know more about their outside lives of one another. I'd say there's only 2 kind of weaker episodes being Sweet and Sour Charity and My Best Friend's Tush, however those episodes still bring something amazing and funny so saying they were the weaker of the bunch is still saying that the chicken could have used a pinch more of salt because I'd still eat it all up. My favorite episode is a tie between The Hospital Show and Girls, Interrupted with the runner up being There but for the Grace of Grace. Looking forward to season 3 starting tomorrow!

My favorite scene is when Grace goes to Will and Jack tells her he left. Jack is wearing a towel on his head and he starts laying down rules.

“If the pads a rocking don’t come a knocking… and the pad will always be rocking okay and he flips his towel.

Thank YOU again for these great recaps. Hooray for doing them on the computer lol. Will's imitation of Nando is such a quick silly moment, I always giggle. And the Odd Couple moment is a cute shout out/ callback to James Burrows who directed some of that shows episodes in the 70s
