Plot Synopsis
When Grace is invited to her ex-fiancé's wedding, she hauls along a reluctant Will just to convey a false air of success — but when she denigrates the bridegroom's faults at the rehearsal dinner, she's confronted by a weeping bride-to-be who now wants to flee. Meanwhile, Elliot's fuming mother gets in Jack's face when he allows Elliot to frost his hair and demands that he never see his son again. In addition, Will poses as a swinging tennis pro until he meets his match.
