On the latest “Will & Grace” episode, the title “Staten Island Fairy” refers to Jack’s (Sean Hayes) boyfriend, Drew (Ryan Pinkston), a closeted gay cop who’s been living in it his whole married life. But after some complications, revelations, and weird phobia names, Jack is left to decide if he wants to end his boyfriend-hopping and to tie it down finally. Is this it for Jack? And what does Karen have to do with this? Meanwhile, Will and Grace manage to embarrass themselves for 30 minutes on live TV.
Jack pretends to be married to Karen
To blend into Drew’s house in Staten Island, Jack tells Angela (Mackenzie Marsh), Drew’s wife, that they are nothing but good “homosexual bros” and that he’s married to Karen (Megan Mulally). It’s the perfect way to hide their little secret together—even while hanging out in Staten Island Fairy’s basement with his wife hovering over them.

When Drew decides that he’s frustrated with keeping it hidden, he reveals to Jack that he feels it would be liberating to come out and be his whole, queer self finally. To Jack, this is a big exclamation point. So he convinces Drew to remain in the closet because coming out would only bring damage to his marriage.
Just then, Karen comes in and—like a hired pretend-wife—sloppily kisses Jack making weird noises that are supposed to be “moans of passion.” She even gets a flashback from mementos around her, remembering her mother and the curse of keeping secrets—ultimately urging her to tell Angela, “Jack is gay, and your husband is gay-er!”

And just when you think Drew’s in for a pitfall to social shame, Angela accepts him, his cop friends throw him a party, and he’s living the gay life—plus he wants Jack with him. Unfortunately, Jack reveals that he has homofomo—the fear of missing out on another ‘mo. Karen butts in though, warning him that slolomo—the phenomena of slowly turning into a lonely ‘mo—is a lot worse.
Deciding if he is indeed ready or not, Jack gives Drew 36 hours of brunch and some “Netflix and Chill.”
Will & Grace talk sheet on Live TV
Grace’s designs are finally getting a better market exposure! Thanks to Will’s excellent research in Marketing about bed linens and Grace’s excellent study in how cats and elephants bathe their babies, the besties finally grabbed a spot at QVC for 30-minutes of airtime.

As the routine rolls, Will and Grace debate on who should present the product. Will counters that the audience wants someone who is “aspirational and polished,” not someone like Grace who is more “perspirational and polish.” On the other hand, Grace thinks that it’s better for her to present it since she is the owner. Fast forward to the shooting. Grace walks in disheveled, visibly unprepared for the interview. So Will fast-talks her into what she should and shouldn’t do. And in a matter of 40 seconds, Grace manages to do all the “shouldn’ts.”

Itching to fix the mess, Will hops in front of the camera and they engage in another verbal battle AKA “talking sheet” to each other. Despite 28-minutes of arguing mayhem in front of the cameras, they manage to sell all their stocks successfully. Besides, watching Will and Grace argue is pretty entertaining—it’s been going on for nine successful seasons after all.
“Will & Grace” returns March 1st at 9/8c on NBC!
