Having quit his job at the law firm, Will turns to a career in writing where he catches the eye of Malcolm, who claims to have high-profile connections -- but when his writing career fails, Malcolm has another job offer for Will. Meanwhile, Tom, an old flame from college, returns to ask Grace to design a hotel that he and his wife just bought -- only to discover that there are still romantic feelings between the two of them. Jack struggles to produce his latest show for Out TV, but spoiled child star Randall fails to embody Jack's vision.

| Malcom: Will Truman?
Will: Malcom! What a coincidence.
Malcom: Is it? Or have I been following you all day? I'm just kidding. Or maybe you've been following me. And if you are, stop it.
| Karen: Gosh honey... think I'm kinda jealous. I wish I had a hansome man visiting me at work.
Beverly: (Walks into office) Well, well, well.
Karen: (Almost falls out of her chair) Instead I have the world's oldest girl.
| Jack: Hey guys, sorry I'm late. I was at a Pitch Meeting at OutTV. Oh, okay, right... pitch, yeah. That's industry speak for when people get so excited about an idea they pitch a tent in their pants.

| In the scene where Grace is reminiscing about college to Karen, she says, "Tell me more. Tell me more, like does he have a car?", a line sung by Marty in Grease. In 1994, Megan Mullally, who plays Karen, starred as Marty in Grease the Broadway Revival.
| When Karen says over the speaker that "Beverly Leslie is a homosexual", the shot that shows at that point is several years old (before 2001). How can you tell? First, there is a Concorde in the dock when all have been dismantled. But the biggest giveaway is downtown NYC. The Twin Towers are still visible.
| Listen when Tom touches the atrifact. It's hollow. Bad actor, don't touch the set!

| Karen: Tell me more. Tell me more. Like, does he have a car?
This is a line from the movie Grease.
| Malcolm: I'm into women. I don't care if they were born that way, so long as they are now.
This is a clear reference to his apperance on Nip/Tuck, where we find out that Famke Janssen's character Ava Moore was actually a man at birth, and Alec's character performed the surgery to change his gender.
| Jack: Now we just need a host. Someone who you'd like to welcome into your living room everyday. Like Tony Danza.
A quick and funny reference to the failed talk show, hosted by the man of the same name, The Tony Danza Show.
| Will: To be fair, I wrote it a long time ago. You know, before "Van Helsing."
A quick and funny reference to the Hugh Jackman bomb, Van Helsing.
| Jack: By the way, big fan! Loved "Small Boy-Robot!"
A quick and funny parody of the 80's show Small Wonder, in which child star actress Tiffany Brissette played a robot that the family pretended was their daughter.
| Randall: You have just become the top of my list of enemies! You have just LEPT right past Wilmer Valderrama!
A quick impromptu line by Seth Green about his friend and drinking buddy, Wilmer Valderrama.
| Karen: Alright, fine. Now get out of here you angry inch!
A reference to the 1998 off Broadway musical (and 2001 feature film) Hedwig and the Angry Inch, about a transsexual rock and roll singer.
