Fran is too hot for comfort, Bernard wants a summer fling and Manny tries to cool down for fear of onsetting his 'illness'.
Further details
Summertime and the living ain't easy. Fran is having trouble sleeping in the heat, particularly since the walls seem to be unfathomably moving in on her. Bernard's sun-fuelled obsession with women leads him to seek out a summer bunny - at least until the autumn. And Manny battles the heat and Bernard's inquisitive mind to keep the temperature below 88c for fear of provoking his Dave's Syndrome.
