Jack’s Big Gay Wedding is Will and Grace’s final episode tenth season. In the last few episodes, the stakes have been dramatically raised for the relationships of all four main characters.

It was refreshing to see Will and Grace acknowledge the B in LGBTQ representations in a truly authentic way. Despite acknowledging that she’s still struggling to find herself after her divorce, Karen would almost certainly agree that she’s too reliant on Nikki to fake her identity. There are still unanswered questions about when and how Grace became such a passive observer of her own life.
The dance-off was modeled after the Strictly Come Dancing dance-off and Ellen Degeneres’ famous come-out scene. The episode isn’t particularly funny, but it does pay homage to two major pop culture moments. Will and Grace returns for the season premiere on NBC in Fall 2019.
According to TVLine, Jack/Stephen wedding was featured in the recap of Episode 18 of Season 10 for “Will & Grace.”
