THE BIG VENT     98/10/19

WILL AND GRACE DEAL WITH ANNOYING NEIGHBORS WHILE JACK DRAMATICALLY JOINS THEIR COMPLAINT -- Will (Eric McCormack) and Grace (Debra Messing) become irritated when loud neighbors constantly use the building’s air vent to send cigarette smoke into their apartment. Determined to stop it, Grace tries confronting the neighbor directly while Will attempts a more diplomatic approach. Their efforts fail and the problem escalates when Jack (Sean Hayes) enthusiastically joins their campaign and begins loudly communicating through the vent himself. The situation turns increasingly ridiculous as they continue arguing with the unseen neighbor through the building’s ventilation system before finally attempting to resolve the dispute face to face. Megan Mullally and Shelley Morrison also star. TV-PG
