Summary: Will is getting more and more excited about the baby he and Grace are going to have. Little does he know, Grace is dating Leo behind his back and causing her to question the "baby plan". She confides in Karen, who convinces her to tell Will. Grace's first attempt fails when she neglects to mention her relationship with Leo.

Later, Will and Jack spot Leo at a store returning a gift Will bought for Grace. Will confronts Grace with the information, and a fight breaks out. Will gives Grace the ultimatum: either they have the baby now, or never.

After a pause, Grace responds that if that's the way it has to be, then she choses never. Will is outraged and accuses Grace of being a flake; Grace retorts that Will is a control freak. Will accuses Grace of falling too quickly for a man who will end up leaving her heartbroken anyway, and Grace accuses Will of presuring her and being too controlling about the baby plan. She says that Will loves it when Grace is upset, because then he doesn't have to think about how miserable his own life is. Grace tells him that she will not be miserable for him, and if he can't deal with it, then he is "even more pathetic than I thought!"

Angry, Will tells Grace to move out in two weeks; the two storm off in opposite directions...

Quotes
WILL: But I always let it go, Grace, because it's not like we're making a baby or something. Except this time, we're making a baby!
GRACE: Yes, at the moment you say, the place you say, wearing the clothes you say. You are a control freak! All I asked for was one month, one month to see where this is going.
WILL: Oh, let me tell you where this is going. You'll end up hating him in three weeks, because--I don't know, he has a weird chest hair pattern, or he doesn't like watching E! Or he'll end up hating you, because you're too needy. Then you'll fall apart, I'll pick you up, and then, magically, you'll be ready to have a baby!
GRACE: Wow. So that's what you think of me. Look, I'm sorry that I met someone, 'cause I know how much you hate it when I'm happy.
WILL: Oh, that is such a load--
GRACE: Admit it. You're happiest when I'm miserable. I mean, come on. Isn't that our thing? Because then you don't have to look at how miserable you are.
WILL: Shut up, Grace!
GRACE: But I am not gonna be miserable for you. I am gonna try to be happy, and if you can't deal with that, then you are even more pathetic than I thought!
WILL: Get out of here.
GRACE: Go to hell!
WILL: I want you out of here in two weeks! You don't live here anymore.
