Mr. Stein, the long-absent senior partner of Will's firm, shows up unexpectedly to reassume command and whip the troops into shape. When Will discovers he was recently released from the looney bin, Mr. Stein begins to rely a little too much on Will's eager assistance. Meanwhile, Grace and Jack are shocked to discover that their highfalutin' pal Karen is now poorer than a church mouse -- and living in her limo.
