Series 3, Episode 6 - Party
Bernard, Manny and Fran finally get out and go to a party. But the mix of drink and emotion turns things awry.
Further details
Luckless Manny eagerly anticipates the thought of seeing Rowena again, with his amulet, swabs and snuff. Fran just wants to go out.
Together they trick Bernard into going to a Friday night (dare they say it) party. The evening goes well until an intoxicated Bernard and Fran reveal more than a few home truths to one another and things get slightly emotional.
Manny, on the other hand, gets physical as fate finally deals him a lucky hand. A strange way to close our favourite bookshop but at least no-one's dead. Or are they?
