Leo decides to give up Doctors Without Borders so he can be with Grace. Jack and Will wake up naked in bed together and aren't sure what happened.

Just as Grace is becoming used to not caring what Karen thinks, Leo does an about-face and starts trying to prove to Karen how likeable he is. Grace tells Karen that if she doesn't like Leo, then they probably won't be spending as much time together anymore, and Karen is so concerned about losing Grace as a friend that she promises she will always pretend to like Leo... just like she does Will.
