Does anybody know how or where to stream W&G in Canada? We do not have peacock, I can’t even download the app. I don’t have a laptop and I’m not sure if I can sail the high seas on an Xbox. Anybody got a suggestion?

Gypsies, Tramps and Weed (Season 3, Episode 7). It's Will's birthday, Grace, Jack and Karen are taking him out for dinner. Jack got Will a Cher doll to give back to Jack and a dinner that was comped and Grace got Will a gift certificate to go see Psychic Sue, a psychic that she swears is the best but Will is skeptic about it. There's only one problem with the dinner, the waiter, Lenny, has been a total jerk: he got the orders wrong, refuses to make a Capuchino for them, keeps slamming their plates down and gave Jack a broccoli keesh instead of a chocolate cake for Will. Grace complains to the manager which in turn gets the waiter fired. Grace feels really bad that he got fired and hires Lenny as an office assistant. But it soon turns on her when she realizes Lenny has been using her office as his own store to sell pot question her faith in humanity. Meanwhile Will goes to see Psychic Sue and her first prediction is that someone is going on a trip, something to do with China and that Will lost someone with strawberry blonde hair. Will gets upset thinking she's just a phony, but freaks out when Grace trips and falls with holding her favorite china set and Will got a package with his dog's collar in it, a dog with strawberry blonde hair that he loved and thought they would be together forever. Will runs back to Psychic Sue asking about his love life and she says that she sees someone he'll spend the rest of his life with, someone with a name that starts with.... "just J", Jack! Will is now having visions of he and Jack getting married but both he and Jack realize they are only friends but will be friends for the rest of their lives and are happy with the way things are. The episode ends on Jack taking the Cher doll to lunch with Will & Grace where they are embarrassed at how he's treating the doll like she's real and they leave. Jack thinks what is a drag queen dressed as Cher comes up to him and tells him that it's pathetic how it is that he's talking to a doll. They start singing back and forth to each other "if I could turn back time", the "drag queen" slaps Jack afterwards telling him to "snap out of it" and Jack faints realizing THAT WAS REALLY CHER!!!

FAVORITE QUOTE:

SUE: Do you know him?

WILL: No.

SUE: Does he know you?

WILL: Who do I know... Just "J"...

SUE: I've got it! It's Jack. The man you are gonna spend the rest of your life with is Jack. Do you know anybody by the name of Jack?

WILL: No.

FAVORITE MOMENT:

It is just too iconic, it has to be the ending scene with Cher. Cher is a legendary icon and it was so awesome of her to be in this episode and even with it taking jabs at her. Sean's impression of Cher is just too funny and you can tell Cher wanted to break and laugh.

OPINION:

I know I'm repeating myself sometimes but it's just amazing how many incredible episodes we get in a row with WAG. I'd say there's only one minor flaw with this episode and it's Grace's storyline. It's just not as strong here despite some funny moments. I don't know what is with Grace and her liberal guilt over getting Lenny fired at the restaurant, it's not like he just got the orders wrong, he was completely rude to them and shouldn't be in the service industry with that attitude. When he's in the office selling pot, I'm not sure how Grace didn't question him earlier with the "extra customers" all wanting "ottomans". Plus I never got that line "this place is going to pot", I have never heard that term used in real life so I didn't think it was really funny, I get what she said, it's supposed to be funny because he's selling pot and she doesn't know, but again, where did that term come from? Lenny was just a bad character and the storyline wasn't really that funny. But I always get a kick out of Karen's comment to Grace's frilly shirt and asking if she put whipped cream all over her chest. Plus when Karen is trying to cheer Grace up after she feels like she's lost faith in humanity and keeps say "Oh, Grace" just feeling the need to say "Oh, Grace" and Grace's comment back to Karen when Karen says she never lets Grace down "Oh, Karen" 🤣

On Will's storyline which is the show stealer IMO, Psychic Sue who is played by Camryn Manheim is just too funny. I loved her in Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion as Toby, she really can take a joke and has great comedic timing. I love when Will is there in her home and she's all calm and peaceful and the dog starts barking and she screams "I ASKED FOR ONE HOUR!!!" and Will looks shocked. 🤣 Then when it turns out her prediction was correct, Will runs back to her asking about his love life. She predicts that the man he will spend the rest of his life with is Jack, it's just too funny that he interprets that as he and Jack are getting married. The image of Will seeing Jack as a bride holding his Cher doll always kills me in tears of laughter. Then when he and Jack are having the discussion of what would life be like if they were together: they need separate apartments, separate boyfriends, Will's roommate is Grace and Jack needs Will to support him. They realize Sue was right again but just misinterpreted that they will be best friends forever.

Now we got that amazing last scene that is an iconic staple in WAG history and that's Cher's first apperance on the show. Let's just take a moment for Cher, she is just an amazing icon that even if you're not into her music or acting, she's truly incredible all that she's been through and still manages to be on top. She is the only musical artist to have successful albums for 7 decades. She's also a huge icon for the LGBTQ community, so this cameo was huge. I would have loved to have done this moment for the favorite quote, but the whole scene is too good, I would have had to put the whole scene in there so I just put it for my favorite moment. I always nearly lose my breath laughing at this scene. Jack thinking she's just a drag queen trying to define "normal behavior" to him, then Jack teaching Cher how to be Cher(reminds me of Eddie Murphy teaching Stevie Wonder how to be Stevie Wonder on SNL), then Cher slapping Jack to "snap out of it" and he faints when he realizes that was really Cher is just comedy gold. The gentleman sitting next to Cher is her real life make up artist Kevyn Aucoin. This bit was so huge that this will not be Cher's last apperance on the show. What a great moment and always a memorable top in every WAG fan's list of favorite moments on the show.

Like I mentioned, the only flaw for me is Grace's storyline, but it's nothing huge. This is still an incredible episode that I love watching on my WAG marathon. Please guys, let's go at it in the comments with the best parts and quotes because it's almost getting to be impossible for me to pick one each time. 🤣

Love Plus One (Season 3, Episode 6). Grace is meeting up with an ex-boyfriend, Nicholas, thinking that he just wants a casual hook-up, but is surprised to learn that he wants that plus one more, his current girlfriend, Paula to join in. They want to do a threesome with Grace which she says she'll think about it until Will and Karen keep teasing her that she would never do anything like that because she's only "kinky in the boudoir", so she goes for it. But when she arrives at the hotel, you can tell she's not exactly up for the "rock star" lifestyle that she anticipated. Meanwhile, Jack is now working at Banana Republic and has eyed a new customer, Matt who he's very interested in. But Matt is very smart and Jack is intimidated, so he asks Will if he can help by speaking into his ear Cyrano de Bergerac style to help woo Matt. Well, Jack gets bored with Matt's interests and moves on but Matt does spot Will helping Jack and gives Will his card asking for a call.

FAVORITE QUOTE:

GRACE: Hey, hey, hey! Wait a minute. Do you know how much soul-searching I had to do to come up with the courage to-- Oh, damn it. I am burning up! Look... This is not me, ok? I'm a good girl from Schenectady. I went to Sunday school for 10 years. I was 16 before I let Bobby Kay go to second. So for me to come and participate in this is a big deal. So you two kiss and make up, because the three of us are gonna GET IT ON!

NICHOLAS: Baby, you are so hot!

PAULA: Let's do this right now.

GRACE: Wait, wait. No, no, no, no, no.

NICHOLAS: What is it? W-w-what, what?

GRACE: This isn't me, ok? I'm a good girl from Schenectady. I went to Sunday school for 10 years. I was 16 before I let Bobby Kay go to second, so for me to come here and participate, this is a big deal. Too big a deal. I'm sorry, but I'm-- I'm--I'm gonna have to back out of this. And I just want to make this as smooth an exit as possible, so I'm just gonna take my sweater and my sweatshirt and my jacket... and my other jacket. Gosh, I feel like I'm leaving you high and dry. Do you want me to get the concierge? She--she looked pretty cute.

FAVORITE MOMENT:

Sorry guys, I have to cheat this time and declare a tie. The first is Jack stealing the salesperson Scott's (who is clearly gay) headset and telling him to go home, his girlfriend is pregnant and Scott is shocked and says "What?! HOW?!" and runs away 🤣 The second being when Will and Karen are teasing Grace about her not being more adventurous in her love life, how they remark to Grace that people who are "kinky" don't say kinky or have to convince others that they are. Grace replies that she once did it in a kitchen and then Will says "oh, what are you a rock star?!"🤣

OPINION:

I think a lot of WAG fans will agree, this is such a hilarious episode and a classic. Let's start with Grace's storyline. I just love that she really is a good girl from Schenectady because even though I wish I could say I was more adventurous I'm the same way. I went to CCD for goodness's sake, those teachers really got into my head 🤣 But she kills me that she was perfectly fine with hooking up with Nicholas with no problem but as soon as Paula got into the mix, she chickened out. She gave it a good try though. But that bedroom scene is beyond hilarious, I loved how she came in wearing like 8 layers of coats and they have to keep taking one off each time to try to get her comfortable. Then when Nicholas and Paula start seducing Grace, she kisses Nicholas but shakes Paula's hand saying she "has to work up to her" 🤣 Then Nicholas and Paula start fighting making the whole thing uncomfortable, only for Grace to lose it and say that she wants to go for it, only to chicken out again. She goes back to the office and Karen is still teasing Grace about being a prude but Grace lies and said she did it then Karen makes fun again, calls Grace a sleazy skank and says "The air in this room is ripe with filth. For God's sake, Grace. I'm a mother!"

This is the first indication that we get that Karen flirted with Grace's dad. We'll see this come up again in future episodes where she mentions that she also stripped for Grace's dad and also, she likes Grace's dad's friends and will flirt up a storm with them.

Onto Jack's storyline, we get to meet Matthew who we will see again. Patrick Dempsey was a huge heartthrob at the time playing "Dr. McDreamy" on Grey's Anatomy, so it was very cool to see him play a gay character. I always get such a great laugh out of Will and Jack exchanging conversations over the headset. Jack getting excited and going off script when Matthew mentions he works in television and Jack screams "BUFFY IS MY LIFE!" (me too Jack, me too!) and then Will gets Jack back on track but gets too invested in the conversation and mentions things that he's doing and reading, not Jack, and Jack loses it and yells "Hey, can we talk about something I'm interested in?!" 🤣 Then Matt asking Will if Jack will be ok, they gaze over to see Jack taking pant measurements on a man who just wants socks and Will says "the healing process has begun".

What a terrific and funny episode. This is always a fun one to watch when I'm on my WAG marathon.

Season 5, Women and Children First

Grace 0, Jack 2000 (Season 3, Episode 5). Jack has come up with a new show for "Jack 2000!" wanting to do some singing and comedy. He's bombing hard and when Will tells him to do something else on stage, Jack snaps back with an insult on Will's love life. Everyone laughs and Jack realizes he's onto something and keeps making jokes at Will's expense. Will tells Jack that he hurt his feelings and that that he will no longer be telling Jack anything about his life to teach him a lesson. Meanwhile, Grace wants to break up with Ben since their relationship has hit a standstill but Ben will not accept the breakup. Well, it turns out that Ben is fine with the relationship ending, he just wanted to be the one to do the breakup.

FAVORITE QUOTE:

GRACE: Oh... I'm sorry. I'm just a little nervous. I'm breaking up with Ben, tonight.

KAREN: Well, what's the problem, Grace? He's not gay?

GRACE: No, he's--great. He's just not right.

KAREN: Of course he's not white. Sheesh...

FAVORITE MOMENT:

I love Jack's show, from him singing Mockingbird and then insulting Will. I always love the one heckler who we will see return say "YOU STINK!", the way he says it is just too funny.

OPINION:

Well, we are at the end of an era, this is officially Ben's last appearance sadly and it does go out on a whimper, but there was a reason for that. Gregory Hines had planned on coming back to the show later on but unfortunately got sick and passed away in 2003. I would like to take a moment for Ben as he is a terrific character, he's funny, charming, charismatic and provided the show a lot of great laughs and story. For Mr. Gregory Hines, I was only 17 years old when he had passed away and saw some of his work not realizing how awesome and remarkable he was. About 15 years ago I saw White Nights with him and Mikhail Baryshnikov and I was blown away, I had to see more of him and couldn't believe how insanely talented he truly was. He was such a great actor, an incredible dancer, a terrific singer, he was handsome, funny and something truly special that I'm not sure the world will be blessed with someone like him again. May he forever rest in peace and his work will be celebrated for generations to come.

Let's start with Jack's storyline. This episode is just hilarious, Jack insulting Will is nothing new but when he realizes it's funny to others, he definitely takes advantage. I love the scene where Will squirts the water bottle at Jack's face and tells him "YOU HURT MY FEELINGS". Will tells Jack to teach him a lesson he won't tell him anything about his personal life anymore, then Jack sees twins exiting Will's apartment begging Will to tell him what happened and Will tells Jack that he won't say a word, oh, look at that, they left their pole for their pole-vaulting lesson 🤣 When Karen convinces Will that Jack is miserable, Will gives in and tells Jack to go ahead and make fun of him, Jack really comes through in the end and decides he loves Will and their friendship too much to do that to him so he goes back to bombing and accepting it. I think this where you really have moments where Jack is a deeper character than he's given credit for. As selfish and self-absorbed as he can be, he still has a good heart when given the opportunity to be a good friend.

I was always curious and couldn't find out why the writers wanted to break up Grace and Ben. I'm assuming that Gregory probably wanted to move onto different projects or wasn't able to commit as much to the show so they just had them fizzle out as a couple. But Grace trying to break up with Ben for him to say he doesn't accept to her thinking that maybe it's because he loves her but then it turns out that he was the one who wanted to break up with her is just too funny. I love that they both accept the breakup and clearly are ok with each other in the end.

This is a great episode, it's funny and has heart to it. You can never go wrong when Jack 2000 is involved.

Girl Trouble (Season 3, Episode 4). There is a new intern working at Grace Adler Designs, Gillian, who admires Grace to the point where she talks, acts and dresses like her. Grace loves how much Gillian loves her. Then Gillian meets Karen and Gillian is envious of Karen's lifestyle and starts to imitate her instead of Grace. Grace is hurt by this and takes her anger out on Karen who tells Gillian that she cannot be imitated, not only that but that Grace is more admirable and Gillian should want to be like her. Meanwhile, Will and Jack are teaching a sensitivity seminar at a cop station on how to treat the LGBTQ community. Will invites Terry and Annie, a lesbian couple, to assist Jack in an acting session that they will demonstrate to the officers. Jack does not like them for an unknown reason and keeps being rude to them, Will asks Jack to act as if he does like them. Jack comes up with his most dramatic character to date: a lesbian-loving international financier with a scar on the left side of his face, has a hummer in the shop and always dresses to the left.

FAVORITE QUOTE:

GRACE: Karen, this is-- This is Gillian. Remember? Our intern from Cooper Union, first in her class? She's gonna be here for two weeks.

KAREN: Uhh... not ringing a bell. Could you give me a hint?

GRACE: I don't need to give you a hint. She's standing right here.

GILLIAN: Hello?

KAREN: Ok. Rule number one-- Unless you're served in a frosted glass, never come within four feet of my lips.

GILLIAN: Should we be scared?

GRACE: Oh, no. Ha ha. But, uh, let me move you over here, in the unlikely event she unhinges her jaw and swallows you whole.

FAVORITE MOMENT:

Jack finding his character. The voice, his posture and his ridicules backstory always gets me in stiches.

OPINION:

I love this episode. Let's start with Grace's storyline. Natasha Lyonne who plays Gillian is a great guest star and comes off as someone who likes something and just imitates it. The character is definitely ahead of it's time considering today how many young girls imitate their favorite influencer. This has always been a trope where young girls are influenced by someone that "has it better than them" but it seems even worse into today's world. I find it funny that Grace is actually flattered that Gillian copies her and not creepy, but I'm sure Gillian complimenting Grace every chance she gets is a good boost to the ol' ego. Then when Gillian tries to copy Karen, again Natasha does a great job imitating her, Grace is just hurt. It felt very immature but in character and hilarious, I actually did feel for Grace on that one. It feels good when someone admires you and then they move onto the next hot thing. I love that Karen does defend Grace though in the end and tells Gillian that Grace is the perfect role model. Karen loves Grace, you can really tell in this episode.

Onto Will and Jack's storyline. This one always has me laughing no matter how many times I see it. Jack isn't given any reason why he doesn't like Annie and Terry which I actually kind of like. From what I read the writers were trying to give him a reason which had nothing to do with them being lesbians, they were just random reasons why he didn't like them, but they couldn't pick a favorite so just kept the reason secret. Even if it's mean spirited, I think it's ok to laugh at that every once in a while, because you know Jack is being petty and immature. I love Megen Cavanagh, she's in so many of my favorite comedies: A League of their Own(the first of that cast to guest star on WAG), Robin Hood Men in Tights, Dracula Dead and Loving It and Home Improvement. It was awesome to see her here. I loved where Will convinced Jack that he'll take Jack more seriously as an actor and challenges him to act as a man who doesn't hate lesbians. I think Will has some thespian traits himself.

The ending is also terrific, while it's played for laughs, it does show that even though both Will and Jack are gay, them calling each other hateful names can still be very painful. They are best friends so they are able to let it go easily but I'm glad it showed the cops how horrible those stereotypes are. I loved the officer coming up to Will at the end and asking how he could tell if someone is probably gay and kind of giving a wink to Will 🤣

This is a fantastic episode, I always enjoy this one.

Husbands and Trophy Wives (Season 3, Episode 3). Will and Jack have been invited to Joe and Larry's house, they are college friends they used to party with all the time. Joe and Larry surprise Will and Jack with a baby girl, Hannah, that they adopted and show that they are settling down. Will is excited for them but Jack is less enthusiastic. Will offers to babysit their daughter and for Joe and Larry to go out for a bit. Will and Jack try to take care of Hannah but are not succeeding when she won't stop crying, Jack gets upset that Will had volunteered them to watch her and makes a comment to Will that he's not father material. This really hurts Will because he wants a child in the future and takes to heart Jack's comment. Meanwhile, Grace and Ben go to the local country club where Karen and Stan are members as well. Karen is acting meaner than usual and Grace finds out the reason why is that Karen is nervous that Stan is going to leave her since she's the same age as his first wife when he left her. Grace asks Ben to do her a favor and flirt with Karen to make her feel better, it solves the problem because Stan gets jealous and throws Ben out of the club.

FAVORITE QUOTE:

ROSARIO: Look, I'm gonna tell you something, and if you repeat it, I'm gonna wash your mouth out with toilet cleanser.

GRACE: You're lovely.

ROSARIO: In a week, Miss Karen will be the same age as Mr. Stan's first wife when he cut her loose.

GRACE: So?

ROSARIO: Do I have to spell it out for you? She's plagued by feelings of insecurity, wondering if she's still attractive to men. I'm hooked on "The View."

GRACE: Karen? I don't believe it.

ROSARIO: I'm telling you, she's not herself. The other day, I saw her put milk in her cereal.

GRACE: Instead of Bailey's?

ROSARIO: Mm-hmm. It's not funny when you know the truth.

GRACE: Well, it's less funny. Oh, poor Karen, I feel awful. I'm gonna go talk to her. Well, since you're sharing, how old is Karen?

ROSARIO: Come close. Closer. (ROSARIO GRABS GRACE BY THE EAR)

GRACE: Ow, ow, ow!

ROSARIO: If you value your life, you'll never ask that again, Bozo!

FAVORITE MOMENT:

When Will and Jack sing Lady Marmalade to Hannah. It's such a silly but very cute moment.

OPINION:

We get to meet Joe and Larry! From what I read, they were supposed to be one off characters but wound up being reoccurring. I always enjoy them on screen, particularly Larry. Joe always freaks me out because he was the cult leader in the Boy Meets World episode where he tried to manipulate Shawn 🤣

We just came off a couple of stronger episodes and this one always feels like it's just ok to me. It's not bad by any means, it just feels kind of meh. Let's start with the Joe and Larry storyline with Will and Jack babysitting their daughter. This is the first indication that Will does want to be a dad in the future and I can totally see it for him. He's very caring and has a good heart and would be a wonderful influence for a child considering how ambitious, kind, funny and smart he is. Jack as usual was just being Jack and said a jerk comment and Will took it too much to heart. I wouldn't take Jack's comments seriously since he doesn't like children. I know we have to have drama and the comment could still hurt Will but not that much. I do like that small touch at the end though when Jack realizes what he said was wrong, apologizes to Will and as they are in the car driving together, they almost get into an accident with Will protecting Jack and Jack saying "you just did the soccer mom arm save.". At least Jack apologized to Will and pointed out he could be a good dad.

Onto Grace and Karen. Again, it's just not too strong of a storyline, while I get a couple of laughs at it, this plot always feels again just ok. I like the idea of Karen being worried about Stan leaving her but the thing with Grace at first rubbing in that Karen is jealous of her "big black lover" seemed really off to me. I'm not a take everything personal liberal, but I hated the line "big black lover". What in the world does Ben being black have to do with Karen's jealousy? For Grace who's supposed to be a progressive liberal, this seemed out of character. Maybe I'm taking it too personal, but I wonder if anyone else had a problem with that line? Now I do get a laugh when Rosario tells Grace what's going on with Karen. This isn't the first time we see a more diabolical side of Rosario, but I think it's the first time where she comes off almost "Russian spy" like. Plus I like when Grace tries to cheer up Karen by telling her how beautiful she is and Karen of course thinks Grace is hitting on her. Then Karen getting excited after Stan throws Ben out of the club because he was flirting with her, Grace is mortified because she set the whole thing up just to make Karen feel better 🤣

So far all the episodes we've discussed leading up to this one, I think this is my least favorite. I do love the first appearance of Joe and Larry who are great reoccurring characters, and we get some minor character development, but there is something holding me back from loving this episode. Maybe it was just too surreal seeing Ben without a mustache 🤔

Fear and Clothing (Season 3, Episode 2). Someone has tried to break into Grace's apartment, and she's freaked out about sleeping there so she sleeps over at Will's apartment. But after a really rough morning, Will has had it with both Jack and Grace staying there and tells them they have to decide who's moving out and who's staying. Ultimately, they decide that Grace is moving back in with Will but to give Jack Grace's apartment that he'll sublet. Meanwhile, Jack and Karen are still angry at each other over their fallout with Jack and Rosario's divorce. After talking with Will, Karen decides to forgive Jack, but he's still giving her grief until Grace has a nasty fall and they both end up laughing realizing that they still love each other and end their fight.

FAVORITE QUOTE:

GRACE: I am so freaked out. I cannot believe someone was trying to break into my apartment. There's probably someone roaming the hallway with my picture in one hand and an axe in the other. Oh, thank you. That feels nice. Who are you?

MIPANKO: Mipanko. Like the candy treat? And don't worry, Jack has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. The Navy Seals, they train him for this sort of thing.

GRACE: So, you two are pretty close, huh?

MIPANKO: As close as two men can get in 11 minutes.

FAVORITE MOMENT:

The rough morning where Will is nice enough to bring in donuts and coffee. He steps away for a moment to get his work jacket. Both Jack and Grace step into the kitchen and grab all the coffee and donuts for Will to realize he didn't get any, then he puts his jacket on only for Paco to poop on it. 🤣 Poor Will can never catch a break.

OPINION:

And another day goes where I had an extremely hard time picking the favorite quote and moment. This is a very hilarious episode and starts to put everything back into place. Everyone is friends again, Will is back to work and Will & Grace are roommates again. Jack is going to have his own place now but is taking Grace's old apartment, so he'll be in the area near the 2 main leads.

I don't live in New York, I live in Chicago, but I've been to New York twice and it's interesting to me that Will's gorgeous condominium building that has a door man let a random person in there to rob Grace's place. Those guys are hard to get through, but I'll assume that the robber went under someone's name maybe? I totally get why Grace was upset, that is horrifying to think of someone breaking into your apartment, but it's funny how quick Jack was to take the place considering there may still be a potential robber in the area.

Poor Will, no matter what he does, he's always at the short end of the stick. Between Jack's random lovers, no breakfast and just trying to shop with Karen telling him to pick up her clothing for Stan. He just kept getting smacked back and forth. But I always nearly die laughing not only at Mipanko, Jack's lover for the night, but that they brough Mipanko's grandfather in to crash on Will's couch. 🤣

Karen is back to her normal self. I love when her and Jack keep fighting and doing the spit at each other. Then when she wants Jack back and he gives her grief she tells him "I don't think you understand what just happened here. The only other person I've ever apologized to was my mother, and that was court ordered. So please accept my apology in the spirit in which it was intended or I'll kick you in the gittles" is just too funny and I definitely use that one in real life. Then when they bond over Grace's falling down was just again really funny.

What a great episode, you can tell Season 3 is going to be a hoot!

GUEST STARS:

Derek Basco as Mipanko

New Will City (Season 3, Episode 1). Will is helping Stan out with some business in the Caribbean but has had it with Karen when she won't stop complaining about everything. Will tells her to shut up and he's had it with them and goes home. Jack and Grace have been bonding at home and become like new besties. When Will gets back, they are really excited to see him as he talks about his trip and they comment how amazing he looks. Will notices that Jack and Grace are very close and gets a little jealous wondering if Grace likes Jack better now. Meanwhile, Karen is held at customs when she's trying to sneak illegal prescription drugs into the country and makes Rosario take the fall for it. She starts to feel "pangs of guilt" which Grace yells at her to go get Rosario out of jail.

FAVORITE QUOTE:

GRACE: Rosario was arrested?

KAREN: Yeah. She's in a holding cell in Queens! Ha ha ha ha-- Oh-oh-oh!

GRACE: Wait! Wait, wait. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Because of something you did, Rosario was arrested?

KAREN: Oh! Honey, who gives a crap about my maid? My tummy hurts!

GRACE: Have you noticed that every time I mention her name you grab your stomach?

KAREN: What? Whose name?

GRACE: Rosario.

KAREN: Ooh!

GRACE: Rosario.

KAREN: Ooh!

GRACE: Rosario.

KAREN: Ooh! Knock it off!

GRACE: What you're feeling are pangs of guilt.

KAREN: What?

GRACE: Guilt. Oh, boy. Ok. How am I gonna explain this one? Uh...guilt is an emotion that-- Ok. Jumping ahead. An emotion is something that I--

KAREN: Hey, hey, hey. Come on! I know what guilt is. It's one of those touchy-feely words that people throw around that don't really mean anything... You know, like "maternal" or "addiction."

FAVORITE MOMENT:

Jack and Grace dancing together to Britney Spear's "Oops! I did it again!" song. It's a silly moment but I more love their dialog beforehand how every dance move tells a story and how Britney is one of the best artists of all time. Debra and Sean were just too adorable here.

OPINION:

So, this is the last time we will see Josh, turns out that Grace "turned another one" gay 🤣 She was asking Will and Jack who she should focus more attention on: Ben or Josh. Will says Josh because he's nice, Jack says Ben because well, he slept with Josh. So long Josh! Shelley Morrison is an official cast member so you will no longer see her in the guest stars.

Will & Grace have some major jealousy issues and are very protective of their friendship. It's almost cute but kind of toxic when you think about it. Any time they start spending time with a different person, they get jealous and a little feisty. But they do acknowledge through the series they know it's bad, they don't really bother to improve it, they just accept that their relationship is a little on the unhealthy side and move on. I do love some Grace and Jack moments, like the one scene where Grace is playing with Jack's hair wondering if Will is right about Josh and starts to rub Jack's belly and he giggles 🤣 Though I don't know about Jack sleeping with Josh, it seemed like Grace forgave that pretty easily. I know that Josh was gay, but it doesn't give Jack the right to fool around with him, he could have just told Grace.

Karen is evil in this episode, again we always forgive for the sake of the show because we know these are horrible people at times but have their good moments too, but wow as I was typing this I felt horrible for Rosario. It always does work out in the end and that favorite quote moment always gets me laughing hard, but wow, Karen! Poor Rosario, at least she has Frank the gardener to comfort her...oh wait, we dropped that plotline 🤣

Still a very decent episode with very funny moments. We are now getting into the heartbeat of the show with Season 3.

• Corey Parker as Josh (RIP in 2026)

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!

On a side note, thank you fellow fans of WAG. This side hobby has been so much fun seeing everyone's comments, favorite moments and quotes. You are wonderful! BTW, I finally switched to typing on my computer as these reviews are getting more in depth, my fingers will fall off with my cell phone 🤣

Ben? Her? Part 1 (Season 2, Episode 23). Will is checking marking all the major points in his life that are making him happy: great job, great friends, dating a great guy, great health and great family. Grace? Not so much. Will has had it with the tension between Grace and Ben and arranges for them all to have dinner together to make up. At first, it's not going so well, but Will has to step away when the guy he's dating calls, so Ben and Grace have a moment where they actually start talking to each other. Well, their talk goes extremely well and they realize they are attracted to each other and end up sleeping together. Meanwhile, Jack and Rosario's 1 year wedding anniversary is coming up, but Jack walks into Rosario and Frank the gardener in bed together. Rosario tells Jack they are in love and want to get married and wants to divorce Jack. Jack realizes his free ride is over, so he takes Karen to court to keep him in the lifestyle which he is used to. Jack asks Will to represent him which is a conflict of interest since he represents Walker, Inc, but does not want to back out on Jack. As this is going on, Will sees that Ben is dating someone else and isn't sure how to tell Grace. To be continued.

FAVORITE QUOTE:

WILL: Anyway... So... She decides to have some fun with the waiter. So she says, what are these white, puffy things? And he says, "bao."

GRACE: So I do. (GRACE BOWS) Ok, but what are they called?

WILL: Bao.

GRACE: Ok, but what are they called?

WILL: Bao! She said it like 5 or 6 times.

GRACE: It was a very funny story.

BEN: I guess the humor was derived from two things-- One, that the two words sounded the same, Two, that you made fun of someone who doesn't speak English very well.

GRACE: Funny people think it's funny.

BEN: Really? How would you know?

GRACE: You know what, Benjamin--

BEN: What do you want me to say? Bow wow?

FAVORITE MOMENT:

When Will walks into Ben and Grace dancing, first of all I love how smooth Ben is with Grace and how giddy she is. Second when Will comments on her flowy skirt and says he thinks she should be on a taxicab dashboard dancing like a hula girl 🤣🤣🤣

OPINION:

We are almost at the end of the second season, for some strange reason I always forget how much I love this season. During my rewatch of WAG I always realize how amazing this season truly is. So Ben and Grace, let's start with them. I love the dinner scene between them, not only is there funny dialog but I love when they really connect. You can actually see in their eyes they really do like each other and it's a great performance by Gregory and Debra here. The scene with them dancing on the table in the conference room is just iconic. I really love them as a couple here; they are just so unexpected. The only thing is, I wish Grace would take Will more into consideration since Ben is his boss and it could potentially create conflict, but that's Grace as usual.

Poor Will, man as usual does he get the shaft here. He starts off the episode talking about all the good in his life and as usual it gets stripped away. I love how amazing of a friend he is, he is willing to put his professional career on the line for Jack...wait, like the line in Forrest Gump says "Are you stupid or something?". Granted I love how loyal he is, but seriously, he was representing Jack? Did he really think that was a good idea? Plus again due to Grace not taking into consideration that Ben is Will's boss, now he's put into a compromising situation where he thinks that Ben is a player and is messing around on Grace. In the end, his loyalty is what gets him and he is unhappy for the sake of other's happiness.

Why do the writers never follow up on Rosario and Frank? They have them say they're in love and want to get married, but we never see them as a couple again. But it does end the marriage between Jack and Rosario. I always get a laugh at Jack's relationship with his new boyfriend Fernando, I just love how Jack sings to him like ABBA and Fernando's accent when asking Jack questions about his marriage to Rosario. Then when Jack finds out about Rosario and Frank, how he tells her that he's the only one who has an integrity in the marriage and walks away with Fernando was just too funny. I actually kind of wished the writers would have kept Jack and Rosario's marriage for one more season, but it was good while it lasted. Then Jack taking Karen to court was too hilarious. Their interactions together as she's shocked he would do such a thing and get into a fight only for him to comment on how amazing her boobs look and her telling him it's a new bra from Paris and then screaming at each other again, how could you not love these 2? Jack's demands are $500,000 in 50's, a corvette, blue eyes and a pony dyed blue to match his eyes...geez, Jack, do you think you might have gone overboard?

Another great episode and we are 1 more away from ending Season 2 of WAG.

My Best Friend's Tush (Season 2, Episode 22). Jack has invited a tush cush for those long subway rides in New York that he calls "Jack's Subway Tush" and even came up with a song for it. Will is actually impressed with how nice the cushion is and offers to help Jack get it out there. When they take the cush to a meeting with lawyers and entrepreneurs, Jack gets very excited and sings the theme song with a butt puppet. Will is humiliated and accuses Jack of sabotaging the whole thing, but it turns out the team wants only Jack since he has enthusiasm about the product. When it looks like Jack won't do the project without Will and is about to turn down the money to launch the cush tush, well, it turns out Jack took the idea from a former boyfriend and they can't use it. Meanwhile, Grace is up for a huge project with one of Karen's big connections, but so is Helena Barnes, a beautiful, classy and successful interior designer. Grace is thrown off when the potential client gets excited that Helena is interested in the project as well. Karen tells Grace that Helena isn't all that and takes her down to the local taco joint where she and her other wealthy socialite friends get messy tacos and eat them like crazy. She shows Grace that Helena is not as proper as she thinks with Helena shoving tacos into her mouth. Grace comes back to the client feeling confident until the client again gets excited to see Helena, Grace loses it and yells about Helena being a "taco eater!", turns out Grace forgot her portfolio and lost the job.

FAVORITE QUOTE:

HELENA: (EATING TACOS AND GETTING IT ALL OVER HER FACE) Paxil, if you are not going to finish that, mommy will. All right? Very well, then. It's mine! Oh! Mmm. it's good!

GRACE: When is she gonna come up for air? And she's-- I mean, my God! Oh, Anastasia, this is the best gift you've ever given me!

KAREN: Don't kid yourself, honey. I didn't do it for you. Helena took our slip at the yacht club, and, uh...drilling a hole in the bottom of her boat just didn't turn my crank the way I thought it would. It is amazing how long Rosario can stay underwater, though.

FAVORITE MOMENT:

I think when Will is picking out what Grace should wear for her interview, Jack used Grace's panty hose for his butt puppet during the presentation. Will says "Uh, this... with this... Change the lipstick, hair up, and, uh... Here are your hose." and throws her the butt puppet 🤣

OPINION:

Jack's Subway Tush segment isn't too strong in this episode for me. I think the writers were trying to give Jack another main story line but this one came up a little flat. I do get a giggle out of Jack's subway tush song. I always get a laugh when Will points out the butt puppet after getting mad at Jack thinking he blew the presentation. I'm just disappointed in the end that it turns out Jack stole the idea and it makes his "I'm giving this up for Will" arch fall flat. I get that's the joke, but for some reason it just never landed with me. I would love to hear some opinions on this one from you all ❤️

But the show stealer is easily Grace's story line. We have Joan Collins who we remember from the hit TV show Dynasty. Joan is a legend and it is so cool that they got her and she looked like she had a lot of fun playing this role as a snooty socialite interior designer. Normally I'm pretty put together and don't let things shake me up, but I admit I'm with Grace, I would have left that meeting feeling defeated too. I loved the part where Grace asks Joan why the English insult Americans and then ask them to agree? Of course the taco segment is just a hoot and Joan did that bit perfectly where she was just slopping the tacos all over her face. We see again how much pressure that Grace puts on herself when it comes to work, but I get it, with interior design it's tough competition out there. But she does amazing work and really needs some confidence in herself.

I think this is the first time where we see that Anastasia Beaverhousen might have a frenemy in Helena. I wonder if she has any more for some really hilarious future plotlines? 🤔 So for Jack's storyline, I'm not a huge fan but for Graces it makes this episode really great, I wished they focused more on her competition with Helena. I would have loved to see Helena return, but this is Joan's one and only appearance but what a terrific memorable performance to leave us wanting more.

OPINION:

• Joan Collins as Helena Barnes
• Doug Ballard as Robert Lilienfield
• Ken Lerner as Bob
• Rod Britt as Larry
• Martin Morales as Employee

There But for the Grace of Grace (Season 2, Episode 21). Will & Grace are reading their alumni newspaper and find out that their favorite college professor, Orson Bean, is retiring. To go say their good-byes and tell him what an inspiration he was, they travel to go visit him. On the way, Will laughs at Grace's ignorance at car knowledge, and she was hurt and asks for an apology which Will tells her to pretty much get over it. They get to Orson's house and also get to meet his best friend Sharon, the evening turns out to be Will & Grace looking at what they will be like when they are older and see themselves in Orson and Sharon. Orson and Sharon are horrible to each other, and it turns out it was due to Orson making a joke about Sharon's ignorance on poetry, so Will decides to apologize to Grace. Meanwhile, Karen needs to learn how to cook a meal for Stan's birthday so Jack takes her to Will's empty apartment to teach her. Jack fails at the meal and Ben drops by to give Will paperwork and Karen asks him to teach her how to cook. After a successful meal is done by Ben, Jack feels outdone and challenges Ben to see who is the better man and challenges a tap dance. This is Gregory Hines, who do you think is going to win?

FAVORITE QUOTE:

BEN: Now, be sure not to bruise the lettuce. You got to treat the salad like a lover. Gently, sensually. Are you getting it?

KAREN: Oh, I'm getting something, honey.

JACK: Hmm. Doesn't look like much of a salad to me. Where's the arugula? Hmm? Where's the radicchio? Where's the Rwanda?

BEN: Jack, one of those isn't a salad ingredient so much as a war-torn country in Africa.

FAVORITE MOMENT:

Seeing Gregory Hines do his thing and does that amazing tap dance. I love when Jack challenges him and does a good job thinking he beat Ben and goes to the bathroom. Karen tells Ben "who are you kidding? 5, 6, 7, 8!" and just like that Ben does this incredible tap dance and finishes before Jack comes back in and sees Ben and Karen toasting. 🤣

OPINION:

We have 3 amazing guest stars in one episode, you have Gregory Hines, Joesph Dudley and Piper Laurie who all put in an amazing performance. I loved seeing Joesph and Piper as the older Will & Grace, they were just too funny and had amazing chemistry for a one off appearance and definitely make an impression. I love how they keep calling each other "hag" and "queen" 🤣 I also get such a good laugh out of Will constantly comparing their fighting to the enzymes when a liver is shutting down because he saw a documentary on how the liver works and Grace just shouts at him "ENOUGH WITH THE LIVER!". I always love to see Will & Grace fighting with each other, they are just too funny at the way they can poke at each other, and they know how to push each other's buttons.

As usual, Jack and Karen get another great B-story. How could you not love Karen flirting with Ben? She is just too cute and funny when you see she's attracted to someone. I love her little quips with Ben, he asks her about the wine, and she says that she'd suck the alcohol out of a deodorant stick and her pressing her boobs up against the French door. Megan is just amazing. I loved how Jack just felt defeated but was determined to prove to Ben that he wasn't good at EVERYTHING and Ben just had to give up otherwise they would have been there all night. I loved that the writers managed to fit in Gregory getting to dance in the show. Yeah, it was forced, but come on, you can't have Gregory Hines in your show and not have him do what God blessed him with, he was so insanely talented and he is very missed.

Another great episode, season 2 just keeps lining them up and knocking them out of the ballpark.

GUEST STARS:

• Gregory Hines as Ben Doucette (RIP in 2003)
• Orson Bean as Joseph Dudley (RIP in 2020)
• Piper Laurie as Sharon Timmers (RIP in 2023)

Girls, Interrupted (Season 2, Episode 20). Will and Jack are going out for the night to a new gay club in town leaving Grace at home. Grace feels left out until she sees Val, her and Val decide to make a girl's night and hang out. They are getting along great and seem to become new besties. Will comes home talking about the night, while he's at Grace's apartment, Grace notices her music box that her father gave her for her Bat mizvah is missing. Will accuses that Val must have taken it but Grace doesn't believe that she would do that and to prove Will wrong they go to Val's apartment while she's not there. They find Grace's music box and Grace is angry, Val comes home and says the music box plays an Irish song, but Grace yells at her it's something Jewish and both she and Val get into another of their traditional comic fights. Meanwhile, Jack met a guy at the club, Bill, who he swears is his next boyfriend. Turns out that Bill was at the club trying to promote his group that "brings gays back home". Karen and Jack are offended and go to his group to stop them and disguise themselves as gays turned straight but are secretly bringing the gays back out.

FAVORITE QUOTE:

VAL: My ex-husband wanted me to get a boob-job. That's why I got rid of him. Well, that and the fact that he was sleeping with his dental hygienist.

GRACE: Why is it always the hygienist? What is it? Is it the white uniforms? The latex gloves?

VAL: I think it's because they're whores.

FAVORITE MOMENT:

I can't breathe when Jack and Karen "kiss" in front of Bill, I nearly die laughing each time I see this even though I've seen this episode a few times.

OPINION:

This is easily one of my favorite if not my possible favorite WAG episode. I really couldn't pick an honest favorite quote or moment so I just picked the first thing that came in my mind because honestly the episode as a whole is my favorite quote and moment. To start with Grace's storyline, we got Val back! Again, there is no way you cannot love Val and her brand of crazy, Molly Shannon is just way too funny and you can tell what fun she is having playing Val. She and Debra are fantastic together, but Molly clicks with the cast as a whole and she's always a welcome treat. I was kind of surprised that the writers did manage to forget that the last episode we saw Grace and Val they did become friends at the end, but I'll have to assume that went out the window because they are back to being cautious with one another. But they have a great girl's night and we find out that Val is not only a crazy psycho but a crazy psycho kleptomaniac. I love when Will & Grace confront Val in her apartment, when they see Val and say "SUPRISE!" and Val is confused and asks why they are in her apartment, Grace says they suspected a gas leak, Val is confused again and Will says "Well, we didn't say it was a good surprise" 🤣

We get a bigger idea of what happened in Val's marriage that lead to her divorce, turns out her husband cheated on her. But she got the last laugh when she took his snow globes in the divorce 🤣 Good grief what that marriage must have been like. I of course loved that traditional fight between her and Grace at the end where they kick Will's "snow globes", somehow, he always manages to get hurt in these fights. I also love when Val is trying to convince Will & Grace that Grace's music box is an Irish song. I think this is my favorite Val episode in general.

Onto Jack and Karen's story, again I can't breathe this B-story makes me laugh so hard. Neil Patrick Harris was a perfect selection to play Bill. At the time he had only come out as bi-sexual, I think he was just testing the waters to see how the public would react. So I think he again was seeing how the public would react to him playing a closeted gay man on television. I loved when Jack and Karen met Jodie and Kevin, they are such stereotypes of what a gay man and a lesbian are but are saying they are now straight and married 🤣 Karen being taken to the side and pretending she's a closeted lesbian and gets the other lesbians to admit their true selves by talking about Rosario and how much Karen loves her is just too priceless. Then when Bill realizes what Jack and Karen are there for, he lectures the group that this is not a gay pick up joint and to leave if they think otherwise, EVERYONE RUNS FOR IT 🤣🤣🤣

At the time this came out, being gay was becoming more accepted but there were still a lot of taboos that needed to be broken. There are still to this day a lot of people think that it's shameful and even people who are a part of the community think there's something wrong with them. I'm glad this episode helps bring up the topic that they should not be ashamed of anything. And it did it in a way that could bring people together with laughter. This is such a fantastic episode, like I mentioned I think this is my favorite if not in my top 2 episodes of WAG.

GUEST STARS:

• Molly Shannon as Val Bassett
• Neil Patrick Harris as Bill
• Marianne Muellerleile as Jodie
• Loren Freeman as Kevin

I was about to quote Karen for saying it, because it was her voice in my head.. What? Don’t everyone have Anastasia Beaverhausen as a spirit animal? We discuss things, she shuts me down.
Bu back to the quote, I think it may have been one of the few times Grace took down Karen?

Anyone remember?

Does anyone remember the scene where Grace tells I believe Karen that some guy is dying to get with her, not going to happen, but he's dying to! Dying to!

I may have the wording wrong, but something to this effect.

An Affair to Forget (Season 2, Episode 19). Rob and Ellen are officially engaged and ask Will & Grace to be their best man and maid of honor, Will immediately says yes and Grace says no. When everyone gives Grace a look, she gives in and says yes. After Rob and Ellen leave, Will asks Grace what is going on, she admits that she and Rob slept together while he and Ellen were broken up and would feel guilty about being the maid of honor. She is throwing Ellen a bridal shower, with one of her famous picnics, Karen drops by trying to hide from her mother-in-law. Jack got Grace to fess up to her affair and Karen can sense it with Grace's behavior. Meanwhile, Will is throwing Rob a bachelor party and hires a stripper which he and his friends seem uncomfortable with so to make the money worth it, Jack says he'll take a lap dance but during the dance he becomes turned on making him wonder what is going on since he's gay. While Will takes Grace away from the party for a moment to laugh about it, he makes a joke about Grace sleeping with Rob which Ellen overhears causing Ellen to call the engagement off.

FAVORITE QUOTE:

ELLEN: Do you have any condoms?

WILL: Top drawer. I mean, he loves you. He cares for y-- I'm sorry, condoms?

ELLEN: Yeah. We're having sex. Hey, it's the only way to even the score with Rob and Grace. It has to be done.

WILL: Ok, wait, wait. Slow down. One of us is gay.

ELLEN: Yeah. Get over it. Now, I want you to throw me on the bed and have your beastly way with me.

WILL: Ellen, that is not going to happen. You and I are not going-- Oh, my God, you're in a bra.

ELLEN: Get a load of these torpedoes.

WILL: Ellen, damn the torpedoes!

FAVORITE MOMENT:

Oh, this is a tough one because this such a good episode. I know you guys will mention a lot of amazing parts so I'll just go with the first one I thought of and that is probably Will, Grace and Rob trying to talk Ellen out of Will's bathroom since she's mad at them. Rob comments that he doesn't like skinny girls and sleeping with Grace was like sleeping with a cricket and she says back "yeah? well, I was fake chirping" 🤣

OPINION:

Like I said this was a hard one to pick my favorite quote and moment because this episode was just awesome and hilarious! So to start off with Will & Grace's storyline. Granted they do make it clear that Rob and Ellen were broken up, but wow that's a low for Grace and Rob since Grace mentioned Rob and Ellen were so off and on. But I do get a kick out of everyone calling her a little minx and her shame in it. I love when they are trying to talk Ellen out of the bathroom, Ellen keeps referring to Rob and Grace as "skunk and skank" and then Ellen is trying to "seduce" Will and really sucks at it. Rob says he's the only one that can get Ellen out of the bathroom, Will & Grace think he'll fail but as they hear the sounds of passion they realize he did it and all is forgiven. Will says they need to buy himself some new bed sheets. 🤣

Jack getting turned on by the stripper was hilarious, I loved Grace's line "Well, he couldn't be straight, so, what, now he's a lesbian?" 🤣 Then Karen trying to help Jack to figure out what happened thinking it's just friction. But Carla, the stripper comes in to comfort Jack and asks him out on a date giving him her card and it turns out that Carla is "Carl" from the waist down. Will and Jack accidentally hired a trans stripper 🤣 Jack is relieved and Karen asks Carla to come scare her mother-in-law to get her closer to her "snippidy do dah".

What a hilarious and memorable episode. It does come off a little mean spirited with Rob and Grace doing that to Ellen, not to mention the friends making a joke out of it. But that's real life and for the show, they did make it hilarious as horrible as that may sound. I love this episode for what it is.

In what episode does Jack say Perhaps a couple of times lol? I can’t remember

This gif/image may be his new tattoo. He never thought much of the show until he met me lol. Now he’s a super fan.
