Episode Notes
 
This was the Live Season 8 Premiere. This episode will actually be broadcast live twice -- once at 5:30 PM PST for the East Coast (8:30PM EST), and again at 8:30 PM PST for the West Coast.
 
This episode takes place entirely in Will's apartment and the hallway outside to accomidate for the live setting. Megan hurt her ankle while dancing at home, so Karen's part had to be re-written to accommodate Megan's inability to walk without crutches.
 
The live episode aired in South America on Canal Sony the same time that it aired on NBC.
 
 
Episode Quotes
 
Grace: I am going to close my eyes and do what ever I want! Oh! hey, I'm George Bush.
 
Karen: Wow. Stan's alive. Well... Ain't that a kick in the pants. Rosie, thank you for finally telling me the truth. You're fired. I never want to see you again. Malcolm, I'm ready for our date. Stan may be alive, but he's still dead to me! (Karen leaves)
Malcolm: Ciao! (Malcolm leaves and shuts the door)
Jack: Wow. I feel so sad. Grace, will you change my eyebrow?

Malcolm: I just want to have dinner with Karen and catch a flight back to D.C before midnight. I have to shred some Documents for a client of mine. I can't say who but i can't 'DeLay'....It's Tom. It's Tom DeLay's Documents.

A quick and funny reference toward then Repblican Majority leader, Tom DeLay and his arrest for extortion charges.
 
Jack: I had the largest glitter-related tragedy since Mariah Carey's film debut.

Quick reference to the Carey film "Glitter".
