Plot Synopsis

On Halloween, Grace allows her new beau Leo to drag her into the rustic fall countryside for a long and scary bike ride — along with a reluctant Will and his newfound friend — but she finds that she can't pretend to be the outdoorsy type just to please her man. Meanwhile, Jack coaxes Karen into attending a gay men's therapy session when she feels slight — very slight — pangs of marital guilt over her earlier attraction to the courtly suitor Lionel.
