It is time for Frances to learn some deeper things about Nick, finally.
She met him near the end of the school year, and now its … fall?
So were talking about people who have been seeing each other for maybe four or five months.
Which makes their whole situation a bit topsy-turvy, no?
At which point, Melissa started sleeping with Nicks friend and saying she wanted a divorce.
During his breakdown, Nick says Melissa had been really scared, and I hadnt noticed.
I was functioning, but I felt pathetic, worthless, Nick said.
Just a waste of everyones time.
Until he met Frances.
These two allegedly non-expressive people do some more expressing (I really do like you, etc.
), and Nick confesses that he still wants children even though its off the table.
Francess mom drives her back to the Dublin doctor.
The doctor reports that Frances has endometriosis.
?Because this can lead to fertility issues for some women.
She doesnt tell Nick, either.
When Frances and Nick talk after the appointment, Nick drops a bomb: Melissa and I kissed.
Actually, we slept together.
which, of course, is not what fair Frances wants to hear.
Frances and Bobbi are then again at Nick and Melissas, this time for Nicks birthday party.
I am DYING to know which of Nick and Melissas friends knows about Frances and this whole situation.
Then Melissa walks in, and its all just TOO MUCH.
Once more, Frances bolts from a Nick-and-Melissa gathering, leaving Bobbi and everyone else behind.
Perhaps you are wondering,Did Frances ever tell Bobbi about the story?
When Bobbi returns to the flat in the morning, she is furious: Melissa showed her the story.
Totally fair assessment, not gonna lie.
Your self-obsession is exhausting, and its hurtful, and its fucking boring.
Frances is just crying and crying.
Bobbi says she doesnt think she can be friends anymore and disappears to her room, presumably to pack.
Left alone that night, Frances cuts her inner thigh.
Aside from the head-smack against the wall, have we seen Frances self-harm before?
It feels a little random to me, but maybe Im missing something.
Frances says she doesnt want Nick to leave Melissa and that she knows Nick loves her.
Maybe she thinks she deserves to be all alone.
