Grace and her snootch, Sophia, are ready to put themselves out there. She acknowledges that she definitely still has lingering issues from her divorce with Leo. She immediately runs away to talk to Karen. What Grace doesn’t anticipate is her falling completely apart once Tony touches her.

#WILL AND GRACE SEASON 1 EPISODE 1 HOW TO#
She’s impressed by his singing abilities and Tony attempts to teach her how to use her diaphragm to improve her singing.

In an effort to remedy this, Grace (briefly) turns her attention to her assistant Tony. Essentially, her “snootch” has dried up due to lack of sexual attention. In the episode’s B plot, Karen reminds Grace that she’s gone far too long without dating. Long enough for Skip to go see his first Broadway - with Jack, if he minds. He’s convinced Emma to take Skip out of the camp and that he and Skip will be staying in New York just a little bit longer. Elliot comes back to apologize to Jack for forcing Skip into such a horrible camp. He very tenderly reassures Skip that “You are exactly who you’re supposed to be.”Īt the end of the episode, we get a Jack and Elliot reunion. Jack explains to Skip that he himself chose his current family and there’s no better family out there. Jack is very sweet in this episode: he tells Skip that there’s no reason to be “fix” himself. Meanwhile, Jack is able to sneak Skip away, so that he and Will can whisk Skip away if he desperately doesn’t want to be at the camp. Will distracts the rest of the camp by hijacking the “reorientation orientation.” His method? By challenging Reggie to kiss him to prove his heterosexuality. The camp is led by Andrew Rannells (Reggie) and a very butch Jane Lynch (Roberta), who apparently have been married for a grand total of 10 weeks. So, obviously, Will and Jack have to crash Camp Straighten Narrow. This situation isn’t helped at all by the discovery that Skip is being shuttled to Camp Straighten Narrow. We discover that Jack and Elliot had a falling out years ago - mostly due to Jack’s complete and utter disapproval of Elliot’s conservative wife Emily - and that both companies were hurt by both of their stubbornness. (Will is loving every minute of the unforeseen turn of events to his “youth-obsessed best friend.) While Will and Jack wait for Skip’s parents to come pick him up, Jack and Skip bond after the former spends a minute or so hyperventilating. While Elliot and his wife Emma explore the city, Skip drops by Will’s apartment to say hi to his newly discovered grandpa. Jack’s sperm-donor son, Elliot, has returned to New York (and the series) on his way to drop his son, Skip, off to gay conversion camp. To Grace’s surprise, there’s a gay term that she’s unfamiliar with: “Pajama Party Position.” A one-off cuff at the start of the episode to describe the stereotypical way gay men sit, identification of the term sets up Jack’s delighted discovery that his grandson is gay. (But that makes for excellent binge-watching marathons as I work myself through the past eight seasons.) It always boggles me how short these episodes are.
