Will's (Eric McCormack) ideal relationship with his loving father (guest star and Oscar-winning director Sydney Pollack) sours when his dad prepares to accept an award at his company's dinner banquet but tries to dissuade his son from attending because he's told everyone that Will is married to Grace (Debra Messing). Meanwhile, Karen (Megan Mullally) plots to have Jack (Sean Hayes) rendezvous with the man (guest star Perry King, "Riptide") whom she thinks is the father he's never met.
