![]() ![]() ![]() Aside from the fact that Gus got Fran a job working under a Mr. It’s interesting that Manny and Bernard’s impossible task dovetails quite nicely with Fran’s plot. It’s only made worse when it becomes clear that Danny’s not only a violent pyschopath, completely illiterate, but also demands results. With his large frame and deadly serious cockney accent, Manny and Bernard are already sweating bullets. This time around, we have Bernard and Manny offering an in-store book reading by gangster turned “author” Danny Spudge (Ricky Grover). One of the better set-ups for plots in the show is to pair off Manny and Bernard and give Fran her own storyline. Make no mistake, I enjoyed this episode, maybe not as much as others, but it certainly has strong jokes. I suppose it doesn’t really matter as long the episode’s fun. Here, I kind of wonder whose fault all of this is to begin with? Is it Bernard’s for giving Manny so much shit that he decides to stay in and take Gus’ call? Is it Manny’s for taking the call and doing a favor for his friend, the gangster? Or should we blame Fran’s lack of wherewithal in her job search? In order to get a plot going in an episode, one character introduces something or someone or does something that inevitably hurtles the plot forward into a manic frenzy. I kind of love how hard it is tell exactly who really gets the ball rolling in this episode. In which Fran fakes it ’till she makes it, while Manny and Bernard attempt to teach a dangerous mind. ![]()
