Notes

Part 2 of 4. "Super-sized" 40-minute episode.
The subtitle of this episode is an obvious reference to the Star Wars prequel Episode II: Attack of the Clones.
The song that Will and Jack try to teach Barry to dance to is "Dirrty" by Christina Aguilera.
Writer/Producer Gary Janetti played the uncredited part of Zack.
Joan Jaffry Poust (the passenger next to Grace) is series writer Tracy Poust's mother.
Some markets outside the U.S. aired an end tag with a creepy cookie voice talking to Karen instead of a promo for next week's episode. See below for the clip, courtesy of Adam (Will & Grace Discussion Forum).
