I Do. Oh, No, You Di-in't is the two-part 23rd episode of the sixth season and 139th overall. Debra Messing, who had just given birth to her son is absent in this episode, though her character is referred to several times.

Karen and Lyle get married in Vegas with all of her friends (except Grace) present. Jennifer Lopez makes an appearance as her wedding singer.

Synopsis[]

Karen and Lyle head to Las Vegas for their elopement, accompanied by Will and Jack. (Grace being noticeably absent because she is "designing a sex room for a member of The View"). It soon becomes apparent that there are disagreements between the couple about the nature of their wedding and marriage (including Lyle's insistence on serving light beer and having Karen take his last name, and Karen wanting to walk down the aisle to "Smack My Bitch Up" instead of the wedding march.) Karen encounters Jennifer Lopez in the bathroom, and requests she sings at their wedding, which she accepts due to her ties with Rosario.

"Oh, I'm sorry. You know, you see a white girl in a bathroom, you just assume."

During the reception, one of Jennifer Lopez's back-dancers is injured and is replaced by Jack. After the performance she asks him to accompany her on her tour, which he accepts.

Leo arrives in Las Vegas, and Will is confused by his aloofness, and even more so when he shows up at the wedding drunk and refuses to return to New York to see Grace. When Will presses him for answers, Leo admits kissing another woman in Cambodia. Will convinces Leo to call Grace and tell her about his indiscretion, but Grace tells him that she "never wants to see him again". Will is confused by Grace's reaction, but Leo finally comes clean that he actually slept with someone else. Will is angered by the revelation, tells Leo "Now you're on your own," and leaves.

Karen and Lyle are married, but during the reception, she realizes she does not want to compromise her identity and lifestyle to be with Lyle, and announces during her speech that she wants a divorce.

Cultural References[]

  • Will is referenced as being a fan of Jennifer Lopez and ER.
  • Jennifer Lopez is a fan of Psychic Detectives.
  • In the bathroom, Karen sings the chorus of "A Wonderful Guy" from South Pacific.
  • Jennifer Lopez explains assuming Karen was a bathroom attendant because she was "white", a tongue-in-cheek joke switching the Latina stereotype of being a help.
  • While giving advice on marriage, Jennifer Lopez pokes fun at her then-recent breakup with Ben Affleck in 2004. She was married twice prior to becoming engaged to Affleck hence the quip, "ah who am I kidding?".

I have a big surprise for Grace and Leo when they get here. I upgraded their room. And I sent champagne and had them sprinkle rose petals on their bed. Well, they didn't have rose petals, so French fries. I figured that would get Grace into bed faster. Will
