Molly Shannon, Best Supporting Actress for the Film Independent Spirit Award 2017, guests on tonight’s latest episode of ‘Will & Grace.’’ Playing the role of some wackadoo loner, Jack (Sean Hayes) and Karen (Megan Mullally) are in for some weird friendship. Meanwhile, Will (Eric McCormack) and Grace (Debra Messing) face their complications accommodating for their guest and friend, Larry (Tim Bagley).
Molly Shannon plays Val Bassett, serial Moving Car-Jumper
After numerous odd jobs, we aren’t surprised to see Jack with another one on this episode. This time, he’s a Lyft driver. Thanks to Karen’s fancy “African-American car,” Jack’s ready for his first ride. On this occasion, he practices with Karen pretending to be a passenger. He’s even prepared cue cards for her because it seems that the line “please take me to the supermarket” isn’t something Karen says nor hears every day. Meanwhile, Jack will be the “colorful driver” who says things like: “Would you like a tiny water?” and “There’s a $20 vomit clean up fee.”

Finally, after revving up the engine and driving 5 meters from their starting point, they bump into Val Bassett—or so they think. Jack and Karen take her back to her apartment—not the hospital—as she moans (in pain and pleasure) all throughout the elevator ride. And if you liked that shenanigan, you’ll love seeing her limp like she was a disabled zombie.
Although as soon as Val shuts the door on Jack’s face, we find out that Val has a more significant scam. But for some reason, she doesn’t want Karen’s zeroes or the “white walkers” behind the metaphorical “wall” which was her tank top. So, Jack sets out to perform his mission: leapfrogging in Val’s apartment—while Val is inside. Immediately, he opens up a closet filled with pictures of Val and Karen, hearts, and fairy lights. And before he could leapfrog his way out, he gets scotch taped by Val. Not long after, Karen walks in with undescribable braids.

Val is stuck and admits that she wants only one thing: Karen’s friendship. And Karen accepts because according to her they “have the same blood type and that can come in handy.” During Jack’s second Lyft driver practice, they wisely stick to their little group and decide to never see Val. But, surprise, surprise—they bump into her again.
Is Larry in love with Will or is it just a Midlife Crisis?
After Hannah left, Will and Grace’s couple friends Larry and Joe come over to the apartment to get their minds off of it. But it turns out that Larry is the only one enjoying the activity of looking at similar pictures of Hannah. Upset and heartbroken, Larry runs to the bathroom and is heard singing Fiddler on the Roof’s “Sunrise, Sunset”—a song Grace seems to love. And before Will could even stop her, a spark lights up in Grace’s eyes, and she sings like she was a “Disney on Ice” performer.

As soon as Larry comes out, Will apologizes and says, “I know this is a tough transition for you, and Grace singing couldn’t have helped.” So in an attempt to help Larry out, Grace hires him to his office. His job description includes crying, scrapbooking, and always choosing Will’s side. And when Grace confronts him for betraying her even after singing “Sunshine, Sunset” together, Larry admits that he’s been faking climaxes with Joe lately, and has concluded being in love with Will all this time.

After this revelation, Will and Larry undergo an insanely ridiculous conversation with different understandings from both sides. Apparently when Will said, “Grace told me everything,” he was referring to Grace firing Larry. And to Larry, it sounded like Grace told him about his feelings for him. So when Will says “We can work this out,” he gets the wrong idea. But to make matters worse, Will said, “you can’t just get behind me, you gotta get behind Grace too.”
Long story short, they find out it was all a big coincidental misunderstanding, and Larry decides it was merely a midlife crisis. He returns to Joe, and the rest choose to forget it ever happened.
“Will & Grace” continues next Thursday, January 18th, with “The Wedding” at 9/8c on NBC.
