NBC’s hit comedy sitcom “Will & Grace” has a special guest for today’s episode. It’s been a while since the Christmas Special and starting off the new year with another of Will (Erick McCormack) and Grace’s (Debra Messing) antics is the perfect way to begin 2018. On the other hand, Karen (Megan Mullally) and Jack (Sean Hayes) seek medical attention for their supposed ‘unheard’ syndrome—which, to an ordinary person, sounds a lot like the ‘Last Song Syndrome’ but on a level four or so.
Nick Offerman plays the infamous Jackson Boudreaux
With the roomies off to spend another night of ‘watching TV and hiding from jingles’—as Jack would like to call it—Will and Grace are pushed to try new things. Both aren’t getting any younger, so they set out to try a baking class called “The Art of Bread.” Luckily, they’re just in time for the ‘worldly and spiritual’ Jackson Boudreaux (guest star Nick Offerman) who will be teaching the class.

For this baking class, we learn that lovemaking and breadmaking have no difference. As Jackson would put it, “we need both, and we knead both.” Eager to catch his attention, both Will and Grace show off their doughs. And for Jackson, he didn’t need much before he would invite each of them separately for some “breadmaking,” but requests them not to tell anyone because he’s quite “a big one.”
For two nights, Will and Grace unknowingly sleep with the same man on different days—drinking the same bottle of wine, and using the same can of whipped cream. When Grace wakes up the second day to discover Jackson in their apartment, all hell breaks loose. Jackson goes on to encourage an ‘amazing journey’ with the two of them—a journey the besties don’t seem to be game for. However, this doesn’t stop them from keeping their man without sharing.

Will and Grace are back to their being competitive and display this even when they get invited by Jackson to his sultry candle-lit flat. Inside, they share a snake venom-flavored bread—one Will and Grace wisely spit out. They even went as far as going into the bedroom. But before anything could happen, they make a beeline for the exit.
Karen and Jack undergo a much-needed, self-diagnosed Slapfest
On the other end, Jack succumbs to the Truck 4 Tykes commercial jingle—and gets Karen to sing it too. Other symptoms include being unable to listen and speak effectively in a conversation as well as singing all night. Attempts at forgetting the jingle like saying “Riverdale is canceled” only works for 10 seconds or less. So, the duo goes on to seek a doctor in hopes of desperately curing them.

Before the end of the show, they sit not-so-patiently in the Emergency Room just in time to see Jackson Bourdreaux roll in on a wheelchair. In an attempt to pass the time without singing, the two gossip about Will and Grace sleeping with the celebrity. Surprised and cracking up, the two realize that Will and Grace are now ‘Eskimo sisters.’ Finally, they recognize that both Will and Grace were one penis away from having sex with each other and laughed their bellies out—eventually curing them of their LSS.
But just before Jackson gets cured of his food poisoning from his snake-venom bread, he begins to hit on Karen. And Karen—who happens to be Nick Offerman’s wife in real life—didn’t hesitate to say, “so not my type.”
“Will & Grace” continues next Thursday with “There’s Something About Larry,” at 9/8c on NBC.
