It's a scary glimpse into the future for Will and Grace when they visit their curmudgeonly retired college professor only to discover that he is a bitter old man that has a "Grace" of his own. Meanwhile, Karen must confront her most mortal enemy -- the kitchen -- when Stan requests a homecooked meal for his birthday, and she looks to Jack and Ben to come to her rescue.
