Ep 4. The Funky Walnut

Grace and Frankie season 6 episode 4 titled "The Funky Walnut" is a comedic episode that follows the two titular characters, Grace and Frankie, on their journey to open a new business. The episode kicks off with Grace and Frankie sitting down for a meal where they discuss their new business venture, the development of a homemade lube product made from walnuts. They have already developed the product, but they still need a name and a marketing strategy.

As they brainstorm names, Grace and Frankie find themselves struggling to come up with anything remotely sexy or appealing. After a few comical attempts, they settle on the name "The Funky Walnut." They then set out to find marketing strategies, beginning by developing a website. After spending the entire day on the website, they realize just how difficult it is to create a website that is both professional and that embodies the essence of their product.

After struggling with the website, Grace and Frankie decide to try to inject some personality into the branding by designing a product label that is funky and catchy. Grace has an idea for a label that includes a cartoonish drawing of a walnut with a big smile and a funky hat. Frankie thinks this idea is ludicrous, but after a few revisions, they agree on a funky label design that they're both happy with.

The remainder of the episode focuses on the duo trying to drum up interest for their new business by attending a marketing event. They encounter a wide range of people, including enthusiastic women who are passionate about their own homemade products, to a group of pro-walnut farmers who think that the idea of a walnut-based lube product is outrageous.

Despite the negative feedback, Grace and Frankie remain steadfast in their determination to make "The Funky Walnut" a success. They continue to market their product and even secure a small booth at a local farmer's market, where they hand out samples and speak to customers about the benefits of their product. They also give away free samples to attendees at a local charity event, where they receive positive feedback and begin to build buzz around their business.

Overall, Grace and Frankie season 6 episode 4 is a lighthearted and humorous episode that showcases the talents of its two lead actors, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin. Through their comic chemistry and wit, they bring their new business idea to life in a way that is both relatable and entertaining. The episode is a great addition to the series and is sure to entertain fans of the show for years to come.
