[edit] Plot Summary
Manny calls in a cleaner to clean the filthy shop, so they house sit for a friend whilst the cleaner is in. Fran tries to be nice and polite on her date, but only digs herself deeper. After inadvertently drinking wine that was going to be presented to the pope whilst house-sitting for a friend, Bernard and Manny frantically try to make a replacment wine. Fran finds out that her date is gay and helps him come out the closet. A month later Bernard is reading the paper with a story about the pope being killed by inferior wine, declaring that it is his birthday, completely unaware that he is partially responsible for the death of the pope.
