"I'll need a little money from the ATM."

To bond with his newly discovered biological son Elliot, Jack takes him shopping for back-to-school clothes. After making him try on flashy clothes, Jack realizes that Elliot does not particularly like the clothes he chooses for him, but rather just wants Jack to like him.

At the same store, Karen and Rosario go shopping for new clothes for their 15th year anniversary. Karen soon notices that Rosario is stalling from buying anything which she admits is because she just wants to spend time with Karen. Karen is unable to handle feeling touched by this so she rushes out of the store.

Shop and Poop[]

Will returns from Paris after his affair with his imaginary boyfriend did not work out. However, his and Grace's plans together start to conflict with her time with her boyfriend Nathan. Nathan begins to feel less important so he brings him with her to the annual shopping at the busy Barney's sale, an annual tradition for Will and Grace. When Nathan fails inadvertently causes Grace to break down around marked-down cashmere, Nathan "cracks under the pressure" of the Barney's sale and accepts that he cannot fill in Will's role and sticks as her boyfriend.
