Summary: Grace is worried when her mother Bobbi comes to town again and has in tow another man she's planning to match-make with. But Grace becomes oddly disappointed when the man turns out to be perfect...for Will. She realizes that, although she's annoyed by her mother constantly trying to get her married, she likes it better than the thought that her mother has given up on her. Bobbi says she stopped fixing Grace up because Grace asked her to. Grace tells her mom she wasn't actually supposed to listen and Bobbi says she'll go back to fixing Grace up.

Meanwhile, Jack, Karen, and Rosario have a meeting at the INS building to check out their marriage, but encounter a problem when the agent checking on them is a man who knows about Jack's past. The man is obviously skeptical of Jack and Rosario's marriage, but after a clever bit of improvising by Jack, including a major lip-lock with Rosario, the man is convinced and lets them go.


Did You Notice...
~One of the songs Bobbi sings is a song from "The Music Man", which Eric McCormack later starred in on Broadway.
~The man at the INS is played by Peter Paige, who stars on Showtime's "Queer As Folk" as flamboyantly gay Emmett Honeycutt.
