Plot Synopsis

When Will hears his "biological clock" ticking, he shocks Grace by asking her to become the mother of his baby but when they meet with a therapist, Grace reveals that she's uneasy about the necessary sacrifices — and makes a startling revelation. Inspired by Will's "seize the day" quest, Jack and Karen are also moved to pursue their goals: for him, it's auditioning for a legitimate Broadway production, and for her, it's visiting her imprisoned husband for a dreaded conjugal visit.
