Plot Synopsis

In the aftermath of his parents' divorce, Will salvages a beloved garden gnome — nicknamed "Squatsie" — and proudly plants the childhood relic in his apartment's community area until Grace accidentally delivers a coup de grace on the gnome's dome with a shovel. Elsewhere, Jack consults his acting coach when he fears that his heterosexual role in a mattress commercial produced by Karen will stereotype him from more meaningful gay acting gigs in the future.
