This is the second-to-last episode of NBC's Will & Grace.
Starring: Eric McCormack, Debra Messing, Megan Mullally, Sean Hayes, Shelley Morrison, Josh Lucas, and Bernadette Peters.
In the penultimate episode, we discover that Karen has a sister named, Gin (Virginia), who has a physical deformity that she milks for every last drop to get sympathy and money from Karen. Karen had been jealous of Gin in their childhood and rigged a Twister game out at the "rickety olde mill" so that Gin would hurt herself. Gin allegedly fell through the loosened floor board on "right leg red", resulting in Gin breaking her ankle and having one leg 3/8" (three-eighths of an inch) shorter than the other. We ultimately find out that Gin had rigged the board for Karen to get hurt and has been exaggerating her "disability" for years. Meanwhile, Jack meets Josh Lucas and invites him to the premiere party of his new show, "The Badge" (or "The Vadge" as Karen's misprinted posters claim). At the party (at Karen's manse) Jack is devastated when the promo for "The Badge" airs and it features his voice being dubbed in a lower register. Josh Lucas (in a starring-role cast to promote his recently released film "Poseidon", as they mention it twice in the episode) confesses that his real voice is much higher and he has to take voice lessons to learn to speak in a lower register.
During this, Grace and Will reaffirm their commitment to raise the baby together. Will's boyfriend, Vince, finds a three story brownstone in Harlem (former meth lab he came across during a sting) to buy and Will is tickled when Vince asks him to move in together. Will assumes that Grace will move in as well but Vince doesn't want Grace to live with them. Honoring his commitment to Grace, Will opts to break up with Vince again. However, Grace discovers from her ex-bestman that Leo, her ex-husband, and father of the baby she's carrying, has called off his wedding. Grace immediately makes plans to discard Will and run off to Rome to get back with Leo. Will is flabbergasted, irate and hurt. He tells Grace that he broke up with Vince in order to honor his commitment to Grace to raise "their" baby and feels Grace is abandoning him. Grace tells Will that she just wants to be happy and wants Will to be happy as well and he never should have broken up with Vince. The episode ends with Will and Grace in a heated argument and a potential ending of their friendship.
