In the next episode of "Will & Grace," Beverly Leslie (Leslie Jordan) returns as Karen Walker's (Megan Mullally) diminutive arch-nemesis.

The trailer for the upcoming installment titled "How to Succeed In Business Without Really Crying" was released just recently and showed Leslie being carried in by his huge bodyguard as Walker waits in the room looking impatient. "Well. Well, well," he says to Walker with contempt. These two characters have always been at odds with each other in past seasons. They both give each other the eye roll upon meeting the first time since the last season that aired over 10 years ago. Walker suddenly throws Leslie onto the bed with two hands to his surprise. The bodyguard walks in to make sure things do not get out of hand.

"I thought they torn down all the corroded, old Confederate statues," Walker says to Leslie mockingly. Walker and Leslie like to trade barbs with each other especially regarding their physical appearance. It remains to be seen why these seemingly old enemies decided to meet and what Leslie's agenda is. It is expected that there will be plenty of good laughs brought by these two.

In the last episode, Jack McFarland (Sean Hayes) had an unexpected meeting with his grandson Skip (Jet Jurgensmeyer) who turned out to be gay as well. However, Skip's dad Elliot (Michael Angarano) wanted to send him to a camp that aimed to change a kid's gay sexual orientation back to straight. Jack did not like Elliot's decision so he intervened and urged Elliot that his kid should be who he wants himself to be. He should not be forced to be someone he is not. Elliot was convinced and withdrew his son from the camp.

"Will & Grace" season 9 episode 5 will return on Thursday, Oct. 26 at 9 p.m. EDT on NBC.
