Will is on the verge of kicking Grace out of his weekly poker game because his friends can't stand her playing, but she convinces him to give her one last chance. He's amazed when her game seriously improves, and she admits that she's cheating. When he is horrified, she gives him a sob story about having to win back her grandmother's turquoise jewelry, but he quickly finds out that's a lie. When he threatens to tell everyone that she's cheating, she warns him that she'll tell everyone that he was in on it. When their friend Rob later accuses Will of cheating and the two get into a violent fight over it, Grace breaks it up by admitting her wrong-doing. It turns out that the fight was just a setup to get her to confess. Karen is curious about new shoulder-enhancement surgery, but wants to see it on someone else before she goes through with it. She and Jack trick a rich cosmetic surgery-happy friend of Karen's into going through with it first. Karen is horrified when she thinks her friend died on the operating table, but is even more horrified when her friend comes out with fabulous huge shoulders and informs Karen that these were the last implants available.

When Grace frets that she and Will might drift apart like their similar friends, she impulsively buys an expensive piano. She not only hopes that this communal property will keep Will from ever leaving her, but she hopes that she and Will can spend time together playing it. When Will wants to go out at night and doesn't always want to stay home and play the piano with her, Grace takes it personally. She invites all of Will's friends over to have an old-fashioned piano party, but when he'd still rather go out she loses it and finally admits her fears. He comforts her with a song about how their love will keep them together, and they agree to send the piano back. Jack gets dumped by Rocco and starts writing romance novels to "work through the pain." Karen gets incredibly turned on by reading Jack's work, and is left wanting more when Jack gets back together with Rocco. Karen pays off Rocco to dump Jack again, but Jack sees through her scam and is too angry with her to write anymore. When she offers Jack himself a pay-off as well, Jack goes back to work.
