Plot Synopsis

Will convinces Jack to aid a local gay-bookstore owner to save his store from closing. Meanwhile, Grace's first design job after her divorce is for a young, obnoxiously-in-love newlywed couple. After a few conversations with the couple Grace decides she cannot do the job because she cannot bear being around them. Karen decides to help Grace out and completes the job for her with an uncharacteristic flourish.

Notes

When Grace walks out on the job, Karen creates a stunning design for the apartment. Grace takes all the credit and doesn't acknowledge Karen's contributions, which causes Karen to quit. (Grace took her selfishness to a whole new level in this episode!)
Karen states that she has been working for Grace for 9 years and has never cashed a paycheck. She did cash some paychecks when Stanley put her on a budget in episode #2.06 Polk Defeats Truman.
During the End Credits, Erinn Carter's credit has her character name as "Alex," but Grace calls her "Katherine."
