Plot Synopsis

When Vince's mother injures her leg and is unable to make her traditional Italian Thanksgiving, Will comes to the rescue by offering to make his own special dinner — but Vince's slap-happy mother refuses to give Will any credit. Meanwhile, Jack gives Vince's sister Ro a few pointers on a big secret she is keeping from her family and fiancé. Elsewhere, Grace and Karen get very cozy with Vince's much younger cousin.

Notes

• Special One Hour Episode. f/k/a "Everybody Loves Vince".
• Grace makes a reference to the ruined Thanksgiving in 1985 where Will came out, which was the subject of the season 3 episode "Lows in the Mid-Eighties".
• Vince's sister Ro comes out as a lesbian (well, Will actually outs her).
• Will announces that he loves Vince. Vince is also in love with Will.
• Vince's last name, D'Angelo, is given in this episode.
• This episode has the unfortunate distinction of being the lowest rated first-run episode in the series history.
