Through Frances essay, we get a little more backstory about her relationship with Bobbi.
Though maybe not all of you found her deal earlier in the season as off-putting as I did?
Which, as we can see, will not hold for very long.
Asked her opinion of Melissas book, Frances admits she hasnt read it yet.
Not even the essaywith her poem in it!
That afternoon, Frances sends Valerie The Dance.
When is her ultrasound in Dublin?!?
Nick is texting and calling at 2:45 in the morning.
Thankfully Frances has the presence of mind to delete her ill-advised response and send nothing.
The next day, on her way to meet Bobbi for lunch, Frances faints from pain.
When Bobbi rouses her and tells her that she fainted, Frances cant stop apologizing.
Its just my period, she insists.
(I promise to undress you in a very unsexy manner.)
She jokes, Who knew I could be so nurturing?
and Frances says, sincerely, I did.
Again I must ask: Where was this at the beginning of the series?
Their friendship made almost no sense before!
But Frances total vulnerability brings out Bobbis gentle side.
Bobbis astute response to this: In a Frances way or an actual way?
And then Bobbi CALLS NICK.
Nick tells Frances that hed like to see her and he can come over, which immediately soothes her.
She and Bobbi rehash their breakup, and what a shock Bobbi remembers it differently.
That … absolutely tracks.
They get very close together as Bobbi wraps Frances in a towel, but they do not kiss.
By the time Nick arrives, Frances is in pajamas in her bed.
Bobbi warns him as he enters the flat to be nice to her, and he abides.
(!!!!)
He told her the day after their fight.
Nick says he told Melissa everything including that he wants to keep seeing Frances.
I know that Im not a great person, he says.
But I love you, Frances.
Her SMILE is back.
First smile of the episode.
And its a very good one.
And oh man, this song choice!
