Will & Grace: Halloween

October 24, 2017

“It’s the Gay Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” Season 5, Episode 5

So this episode takes place on Halloween but there is very little about it that is evocative of the holiday. In fact, if they didn't mention that it was taking place on Halloween you probably wouldn't even know that it was set then. In this episode, Leo invites Will and Grace on a bike trip with a gay friend of his. Despite hating the outdoors, the duo decide to try to be spontaneous and go for it. Unsurprisingly they end up being miserable, especially when Will's date turns out to be very short. Plot-wise, the episode shows the strength of Leo and Grace's relationship. Holiday-wise, there's a shot of Grace and Leo in a pumpkin patch that is cute but otherwise there's nothing. I'd say this is an episode you can skip unless you're just a fan of the show and like the episode. Then go for it.
