Bernard and Manny are asked to house-sit as the absolutely filthy shop is being cleaned, while Fran has a date.
Tropes:
- All the Good Men Are Gay: Poor Fran. She has a date with a decent man but in the end helps him realize his true sexuality.
- Brick Joke: Manny's bad tooth and the shiatsu machine.
- Call-Back: The woman pushing the pram who sees Bernard and Manny in the garden is Fran's friend Julie, who was giving birth in the first episode.
- Cold Open: The episode opens with the French monastery finding the eponymous grapes.
- Does This Remind You of Anything?: Bernard and Manny's attempts to remake the wine descend into a pastiche of Hammer Horror Frankenstein.
- Drunken Montage: Bernard and Manny enjoying the expensive wine, complete with price ticker to show how much they've drunk.
- Expensive Glass of Crap: Bernard and Manny try to replicate the wine they drank from a bottle of plonk and household ingredients. It's lethal, but still.
- Female Gaze: Fran is delighted at her date having a nice arse.
- Lives in a Van: Fran mentions that one of her previous dates lived with his mum... in a car.
- Men Can't Keep House: The shop is almost surreally filthy with shin bandages in the fridge, jam in the bath, beans in ceiling corners and wasps in pizza boxes.
- Neat Freak: The cleaner. He records detailed notes about exactly what needs to be cleaned before even starting.
- Noodle Incidents: Fran and Bernard touch on past lovers.
- Not Distracted by the Sexy: Fran has to sing to get Bernard to notice her dress. She also adjusts her dress to show more cleavage during the date, but her date (who is a closeted gay) doesn't really notice.
- Oh, Crap!: Bernard and Manny when they realise they drank the super-expensive wine.
- Overly Long Gag: Manny trying to get Bernard's attention while pretending the shiatsu machine is a pair of breasts.
- Priceless Ming Vase: A tipsy Bernard and Manny smash one of Freddy's vases, which was one of only two remaining in the world.
- Spit Take: Bernard when Manny pops above the table in pigtails.
- Transparent Closet: Fran's date. He's somehow lived his whole life without realising what Fran susses out in a couple of hours.
- Trash of the Titans: Bernard sees no problem in the absolute filth he lives in.
