Summary: Grace and Jack are excited when they get to be featured on their favourite show, "Antiques On The Road", using a teapot Grace bought that she is sure is worthless. But when they find out that the teapot is really worth $30,000, they break into a fight over who should get the money.

Meanwhile, Will's boss, Ben, tells him that if he doesn't get Walker, Inc. signed on, he will lose his job. So, much to Will's chagrin, he meets Karen at an upscale Manhattan bar and proceeds to bond with her in hopes that she will get Stan to sign him on.

Karen soon catches on and makes Will do humiliating things. When she makes him serenade her singing, "I Honestly Love You" by Olivia Newton-John, he has too much, tells her what he thinks of her, and prepares to be fired. But Karen is instead impressed by Will's attitude and as he packs up his office, Ben informs him that Karen signed the papers that morning, so he can keep his job.

Back at "Antiques On The Road", Jack has run off with Grace's teapot. After a quick chase, the two crash through a canvas that has just been appraised. To make up for the cost, the host takes Grace's teapot and gives it to the canvas's owners.
