I dont want to be a home-wrecker or whatever, she says.

Not exactly the worlds most trustworthy source on the matter!
But Frances is delighted and, thus absolved, says they should go upstairs.
(I will also hand it to Mr. Alwyn: His hair looks A++).
(Girl, hey go to therapy!)
Bobbi told Frances this was a symptom of my repressed nature.
Frances insists she feels great, and she saysthank you, and I want todie, oh myGod.
Wouldnt she have talked herself out of it if she were overthinking her moves here?

Ugh, maybe they deserve each other, I dont even know.
Frances emails Bobbi an apology why?
She also teases Frances about liking Nick more than Melissa does.
Does Bobbi listen to a single word Frances says in this entire episode?
Or pick up on the tension or vulnerability in the things Frances doesnt say?
