   S4:E410/18/2001

   After Stan is arrested for tax evasion, Grace and Karen timidly visit him in prison.

Meanwhile, as Stan's attorney, Will struggles with stage-fright when he babbles on during a TV news interview, so Jack convinces him to polish his communication skills by attending an acting class ruled by an imperious teacher.
