Plot Synopsis

A desperate Jack seeks to "in" his rival for the last spot in the Manhattan Gay Men's Chorus that will tour Europe by dangling a motivated Grace as date-bait before him to prove that he's actually straight. Meanwhile, a scheming Karen tries to pass off an unwitting Will as her lover and not her lawyer when she discovers that she's the object of pity for being single at her own Valentine's Day party.

Notes

The original airing runs about 4 minutes long (9:00 to 9:34). Repeat airings will likely chop these extra minutes (along with the other edits they make for additional commercials).
The members of the Manhattan Gay Men's Chorus were actually members of the Los Angeles Gay Men's Chorus.
