Episode Notes |
| |
We find out that Jack named the puppy he got from Will & Grace, Klaus von Puppy.
| This episode is in reference to when Will told his brother what he thought of his soon-to-be wife. With only a handful of script ideas and a push from the network to create a two-parter, David & Max took from the pilot and create these two episodes.
| Will's Internet chat name is "Hat Lawyer" ("Hot Lawyer" was already taken).

Grace: Look, the Jacobs had to cancel this morning, so I've rescheduled for tomorrow afternoon. Can you just call and nail down a time and make sure they don't need any... (Karen staring at Grace) What?
Karen: You had sex.
Grace: What?! How did you... What... Is this out on video? I don't understand. How does everybody know?
Karen: Every poker player has a tell. And, uh, speaking of poker, who was it, huh?
Grace: No one you know, so just don't even...
Karen: (Gasp) It was Sam!
Grace: Oh, my God! No, you know what? I'm going before you figure out every detail of what happened last night.
Karen: Honey, come on. There is no possible way I could know every detail. I only know it was twice.
Grace: Oh, my God!
