Will and Grace welcome back fan favorite guest star Molly Shannon for another round of laughs with Val. Here’s everything you need to know about the latest episode.

More from NBC

She’s back and wilder than ever! One of the most beloved guest stars from the original series returns to bring the heat and disarray in the latest episode of Will & Grace. Molly Shannon reprises her role as Val, the neighbor nobody wants but Will and Grace ironically end up with time and time again. This time, she’s squaring off with an unsuspecting Jack and Karen, and things get crazy.

Elsewhere, another staple character from the original series returns to the revival for the first time with some big news. Larry, a recurring player from Seasons 1-8 as one of Will and Grace’s good friends and game night competitors, reunites with his old friends having made the discovery that he’s in love with Will. What happened to his husband and children? Word’s still out on whether every character’s personal life was wiped away by the revival, but one thing’s for sure: Will’s in for another awkward romantic encounter after last week’s scarring debacle with Grace and Jackson Boudreaux. And to think the most awkward and unlikely event occurring in the latest episode would be Jack becoming a driver for Lyft. The jokes write themselves.
