Notes
- Thanks to Kendra for information on this episode.
- The song Will and Gavin danced to at the club was "Get Ur Freak On" by Missy Elliott. They then slow danced, while Jack sang along, to Minnie Riperton's "Lovin' You."
- The title is a play off of "Fatal Attraction," which starred Michael Douglas and also Glenn Close, who appears in the next episode, "Hocus Focus".
- Both Michael Douglas and Glenn Close were nominated for Emmy awards for Outstanding Guest Actors for their appearances on "Will & Grace".
