The triumphant return of the television sitcom "Will & Grace" has been subject of many praises from critics and fans alike. However, the show looks to ramp up its entertainment by re-introducing a popular character from the series' past seasons. In the upcoming episode, Karen (Megan Mullally) will meet her ultimate nemesis, Beverly (Leslie Jordan), once again.

In a preview of the upcoming episode, Beverly was seen entering the room where Karen is, while being carried by his huge bodyguard. As he enters, he says "Well, well, well," in a tone full of contempt. Karen responds with a very disdainful eye roll.

Karen and Beverly have been each other's archrival since the past seasons of the show, which aired over a decade ago.

In the trailer, Karen is also seen throwing the smaller Beverly into the bed in anger. The preview ends with Karen throwing one of her sharply-worded jabs at Beverly's appearance. "I thought they torn down all the corroded, old Confederate statues," she said mockingly.

The reunion of the archenemies will surely be an entertaining treat to all "Will & Grace" fans enjoying the show's ninth season after more than 10 years of hiatus. Neither of the two are known to back down from one another, so the upcoming episode will most likely be full of funny but sharp quips being thrown between them.

In the previous episode, Jack (Sean Hayes) discovered that he already has a grandson, and unexpectedly meets him. His grandson Skip (Jet Jurgensmeyer) visited him and Jack found out that his grandson was also gay.

Jack's son, Elliot, wanted to send Skip to a camp to change the kid's sexual orientation, but Jack was having none of it. In the end, he was able to convince his son that Skip should be allowed to be who he wants to be.

"Will & Grace" airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. EDT on NBC.
