Summary: It's the typical Game Night scene. Will and Grace are winning greatly agains Rob and Ellen. It is in the middle of the game when a big announcement is made: Rob and Ellen are getting married.

With excitement and happiness in the air, Rob asks Will to be his best man. Will automatically accepts, and it's Ellen's turn to ask Grace to be her maid of honor. Grace at first hugs Ellen and tells her no. When asked why she declined, she explains that it would be a "red menace" having two redheads in the wedding party. Obviously confusing Ellen, Grace changes her answer to yes. Rob and Ellen leave when Will confronts Grace about her original "red menace" answer. Grace finally reveals the truth. She slept with Rob.

Will is obviously shocked to find out this information, and Grace reveals it happened when she broke up with Danny, and the on again/off again Rob and Ellen were in an off again phase. The worst part is that while trying to cope with this, Grace must throw Ellen a bridal shower. Will assures her that everything will be okay, as he will be right across the hall throwing Rob his bachelor party if she needs him.

It's the night of the parties, and Will's party gets interrupted by a knock on the door. The door opens to reveal Carla, an exotic dancer. Waiting to give someone a lap dance, and with no takers, she starts with Jack, who offered to be first. Jack runs out of the party, horrified to find himself "excited" (for a lack of a better word) by this. Will finds out, and runs to tell Grace.

Out in the hallway, Will explains to Grace what happened, then asks how things are going over at the bridal shower. Ellen overhears the conversation, and finds out about Grace and Rob. Rob exits Will's party to find out that Ellen knows, and she calls off the wedding, telling everyone at Will's party what happened. Rob, in return, tells the women of Grace's picnic themed bridal shower, who turn on Grace and start throwing things at her.

Meanwhile, Karen, who was at Grace's party, hears about Jack, and goes to the stairwell, where Jack has run off to. She tries to recreate the situation, saying that the problem was "simple friction," but it was no use. Carla finally finds Jack, and gives him her card. Jack takes a look at it, and is shocked to find out that Carla is actually Carl (from the waist down, anyway). Jack is relieved that he is still attracted to men.

Back at Will's, Ellen has locked herself inside of his closet. Rob, Grace and Will are trying to get her to come out, but Ellen insists on only talking to Will. Rob and Grace leave, and Ellen comes out to talk to Will, but ends up trying to have sex with him to even the score. Will runs out of the room, and Rob enters to try to resolve everything. Will and Grace hear noises coming out of the room soon after, and realize that all has been forgiven.
