Episode Notes
 
The Atlanta area NBC affiliate (WXIA) pre-empted this episode, broadcasting the live "25th Community Service Awards" instead. They were fined $53,000 for inturrupting NBC programming with "non-emergency programming."
 
Debra Messing had a hard time getting through the scene with Nurse Pittman. It took nearly an hour to tape this scene.
 
It was also at this time that the Salt Lake City affiliate (KSL) wrote the network saying they would not air Will & Grace period due to its sexual content. They chnaged their minds when NBC threatened a lawsuit against them.

Karen: Heh. You've got a lot of nerve, coming on to me while my husband is dying. Wow.
 
Grace: (Freaked out that the nurse doing her blood withdrawal is young) Whoa. Whoa. Her? Isn't--isn't there someone else who's a little more... experienced? Someone who didn't drive in on a big wheel?
Nurse Pittman: Oh, I don't drive. I keep taking the test over and over again, but I'm all... "This is hard."
