Summary: This episode deals with the two prominent friendships on this show: Will & Grace and Jack & Karen.

Will and Grace get together for a night of fun, but find they don't really know each other anymore, and have nothing to talk about. Thanks to a suggestiong from Karen, Will and Grace hold a game night at his house, inviting Joe, Larry, Rob, and Ellen over. But with only 30 seconds left on the clock, Will and Grace find themselves on the losing end of the game, and Will calls a time-out to talk to Grace.

They both admit to fear that they've lost their "mojo". Or, as Will puts it, "homojo". This promts Grace to reveal that she used the exact same phrase earlier that week when talking about Will. The two realize what they've lost is their conntection, which now requires them to make phone calls and visit each other more often now that they live in different areas. Joyful, the twosome return to the apartment and win the game.

Meanwhile, Karen sends Jack to the penthouse to pick up a few of her things. While there, Jack meets Lorraine Binstock, Stan's new woman. Despite knowing that she is "the enemy", Jack finds himself drawn to her and the two spend the afternoon together.

When Jack returns to Karen with her stuff, he breaks down and coffesses to betraying her. Karen acts okay with it, then gets Jack in a chokehold and tells him to break it off with Lorraine.

Later, Karen arrives to confront her enemy and finds Jack hiding in Lorraine's closet. The two women fight over Jack until they order him to chose between them. Despite liking Lorraine, Jack says he loves Karen and leaves with her.
