Since the last two straight guys Grace hooked up with sparked angry explosions from Will, is it any wonder that she's keeping the fact of her next date from him? Of course, that's not the only reason she's hiding the identity of this swain: it's Danny, the guy she almost married in the season premiere. Will is gearing up to become the wedge between them when Jack points out Will's propensity to meddle. However, when Will backs off and refuses to tell Grace what to do -- a new experience for her and for the viewer -- she struggles to make her own decisions, and the spat that ensues has them both facing the realization that living together might not be what's best for them. Karen is in the middle of her own crisis of cohabitation: her live-in maid, Rosario (Shelley Morrison) -- who we finally meet! -- is facing deportation. Cue the hare-brained green-card marriage scheme, with Jack as her totally believable groom!

As far as we've seen, Rob and Ellen have long been Will and Grace's go-to game night opponents. But this arrangement may need to be revised, because Grace is extremely competitive, and Ellen's not having fun. Rob and Ellen meet privately with Will to try to get him to rein in his roommate, and when the next group outing is to a bowling alley, Grace actually demonstrates an admirable ability to forget the stakes -- to such a degree, in fact, that she forces Will to admit he's actually just as competitive as she is. Karen finds herself shaken by a near-death experience -- literally, in that she was near Stan when he choked on his dinner -- and lets Jack talk her into letting him teach her first aid, which she soon has occasion to use. We take you through Grace's most relatable moments -- for one of your co-hosts, anyway -- in our Will Grace Kevin Tara podcast on "Alley Cats"Learn more about your ad choices.

One things we've learned about Grace over the course of Season 1 is that she has a hard time managing work-related stress, requiring her to get overly dependent on the ministrations of a cleaner in "My Fair Maid-y" and shutting down her social life so completely while busy on a job that Val could replace her in...well, "Grace Replaced." So no one should be that shocked when Grace has no confidence going in to pitch for brusque publicist Nathan (Miguel Ferrer!), and readily agrees to let him delay his decision until after he's seen her own home. Fortunately for Grace, Nathan likes what he sees there, because what he sees there is Will, and tells Grace that if she arranges for Will to date him, she'll get the job.

We learn a little more about how the mysterious Jack economy works: of course he goes to a gym, but on a stolen ID, for which he's just been busted. Over Will's protests, Grace volunteers to get Jack in to their gym on a guest pass, not knowing that Will regards it as a safe space for him to butch out straightly with all his heterosexual lawyer contacts who also belong there; as such, he's extremely anxious about being associated with all of Jack's...Jackness. Will's internalized homophobia is so intense that he actually uses a terrible slur behind Jack's back -- or so he thinks, because Jack overhears, and forces Will to acknowledge what he did. At Grace Adler Designs, Grace must also deal with the effects of Karen's faltering marriage, and the two uneasily agree to try getting Karen's mind off things with a girls' game night that quickly turns into a girls' drunk night.

Grace gets buried under another huge project, but unlike last time, she's not the one who gets hurt. In her absence, Will must find another straight woman to perform emotional labour for him, and one appears in the form of Val (Molly Shannon!), a neighbour with whom he can duet in the elevator, goof around in the laundry room, and take to lunch when Grace is too busy. When Will gets sick, Val even puts her own life on hold (not that we ever find out what "her own life" actually involves) to nurse Will in his time of need. Finding out Will has replaced her relieves one source of Grace's stress and lets her focus on her project, jkjkjk she gets jealous and nuts. Jack is forced to face the consequences of slapping a parking enforcement officer and gets sentenced to community service, where he discovers there can sometimes be treasures in the trash...in the form of an acclaimed director's discarded phone books.

One of the first things we ever learned about Will was that he is still traumatized after breaking up with his very serious boyfriend, Michael. In fact, we've heard a lot more about Will's ongoing heartbreak over the end of that relationship than we've seen him express any interest in any otherguy. And in "Secrets Lays," the trend continues! It's what would have been Will's anniversary if not for his big breakup with Michael, and Grace wants to make sure Will's not brooding about it, so she arranges for Karen to bring the two of them, plus Jack, to her winter cabin. Grace's plan is almost immediately derailed, however, by the arrival of Karen's caretaker, Campbell, who also just happens to be an old high-school flame of Grace's. The two resume being hot for each other, but does Grace dare get a leg over Campbell when Will might need her for something? We talk it out on the podcast!Learn more about your ad choices.

Dating can be hard -- except when a prospect presents himself to you in the elevator of the building where you actually live, as happens to both Grace and Will. Since neither has been out on a date for a while, they're excited to tell one another about their hot new dudes...but that excitement dissipates when they discover that it's just one guy, his name is Peter, he invited them both to his place at the same time, and when it comes to what his deal is, romantically, he is cagey AF. Karen is also having man problems, though of a slightly different kind: her driver can't stop hitting pedestrians, and Karen must overcome her sweet, accommodating nature and let him go.

Grace's attempt to reunite Will and his estranged brother Sam in the last episode has an unpredictable consequence when Will has to leave to soothe new thirty-year-old Jack: left alone, Sam and Grace totally have sex. Karen quickly figures out what's happened; Will takes longer, what with Grace's attempts to soften him up with Jewish baked goods and all. But Will's rage stirs up a bunch of old business about Sam messing with Will's "toys," one of which he apparently considers Grace to be (which comes as no shock to anyone who's watched the previous fourteen episodes). Karen and Jack have insights as to what's actually going on. Maybe Grace is attracted to Sam because he's a straight Will? Maybe Will is jealous of Sam because he now has a connection to Grace that Will can never share? How will Grace and the Trumans make peace?

Shopping for gifts to bestow upon Jack at his "surprise" birthday party, Grace has an actual surprise: a chance meeting with Sam -- guest star John Slattery! -- a contractor who worked on a house she decorated and, oh yeah, Will's estranged brother. See, Will and Sam have been estranged since Sam asked Will's opinion of Sam's girlfriend and Will told him, truthfully, that she was terrible...and then Sam said he was going to marry her. But now Sam is getting divorced, so Grace thinks the time is right to get the Truman boys back together, and that Jack's birthday party will be the perfect setting! She is wrong on both counts. Speaking of wrong: Jack is excited to celebrate his birthday until it turns out he hasn't quite nailed the simple math and didn't realize he was celebrating a bigger milestone than he thought.

When Grace's mother Bobbie -- guest star Debbie Reynolds! -- plans a visit to The Grand Apple, Grace thinks she's ready to deflect any wild thing she might say, from criticism of her career to brags about Bobbie's own legendary work in Schenectady community theater. Nothing, however, can prepare her either for Bobbie's suggestion that Grace just marry Will, nor for Will's reaction to the (indecent) proposal. Karen can't focus on everything she and Bobbie have in common, unfortunately, because she has reason to believe she might be "in a family way."
