Episode Goofs
 
If Grace has been sleeping for 20 hours straight, wouldn't it stand to reason that someone would have woken her up in that time to check in on her? Why let her go for all that time?
 
When Will & James are having lunch, check out their wine glasses. The amount of wine slightly changes on different angles, showing this was done over a couple of takes.
