Summary: Will is suspicious when Grace won't tell him who she's going on a date with. When he checks the answering machine, he hears a message from Danny, Grace's ex-fiancé. He confronts Grace about it and she basically tells him to stop trying to run her life.

Meanwhile, Karen's maid Rosario faces deportation and the only advice Will has is to have Rosario marry an American. The man in question would have to be available, but not looking for a romantic entanglement. At that moment, Jack sticks his face up to the window...

Back at the apartment, Will tries to avoid asking Grace about her date, even after Danny comes out of Grace's bedroom wearing boxers. Grace tries to get Will to say something negative, but Will refuses to, which tells Grace that Will is mad.

While preparing Jack for his marriage to Rosario, Will talks to Karen about Grace and Danny. Karen is uninterested and tells Will to get a life (and that "brown is over").

At the wedding, Grace again tries to rile Will about her relationship with Danny. He seems oddly calm about the whole thing until Grace says that she is falling back in love with Danny. Will is upset, and tells Grace that she is ruining her life.

At that point, Grace stands up and cries, "Gotcha!", much to the surprise of the wedding attendees. Sitting down again, Grace informs Will that she broke up with Danny yesterday and just wanted to make sure Will still thought that Danny was a mistake. Will informs her that, of course he thought Danny was a mistake. Grace complains that Will should have told her sooner, instead of forcing her to make her own descision. The two argue about who should make Grace's decisions until a man sitting behind them asks them how long they've been married. When they inform him that they're not married and that Will's gay, the man asks, "What the hell is all this about?"

After the wedding, Will and Grace discuss why Will is so involved in Grace's love-life, and Grace comes up with the obvious answer: because Will has nothing going on in his life. The two kiss and then agree that they shouldn't live together anymore.
