Cass & Frankie 1989-Talking to Family Day After the Ball

It's the day after the Winter Fantasy Ball, and Cass and Frankie are separately explaining what happened to their respective family members--in Cass's case, Stacey, who is accompanied by Derek; and in Frankie's case, Sharlene, and then John arrives home from his shift at the hospital in the middle of their talk.

Stacey correctly guesses that Cass's rotten mood and lack of Christmas spirit are directly related to the fact that Cecile is gone and Frankie isn't talking to him.

Meanwhile, out at the farm, after Frankie explains Cecile's scheme, Sharlene doesn't understand why Frankie threw Cass out when he came to her and told her how much he cares about her and that he didn't go away with Cecile because Sharlene thought that's what Frankie wanted. When Cass calls, Frankie refuses to talk to him.

Cass is frustrated that Frankie won't talk to him, and he tells Stacey and Derek about going to Frankie's after the ball and telling her that being with Cecile made him realize how much Frankie means to him. Stacey tells Cass he's lucky Frankie only kicked him out the door instead of out the window for saying that, and then asks Cass if he slept with Cecile. Cass asks what that has to do with anything, and Stacey tells him that it's got to do with everything. Cass says that's totally irrevelant, but Stacey vehemently disagrees, telling Cass that he had a good thing going with Frankie and blew it. Stacey then goes to call Jamie, and Cass asks Derek to plead his case to Frankie because Cass wants a chance to make it up to her.

Back at the farm, Sharlene tells Frankie she's not mad at Frankie, but she's not going to keep fielding phone calls from Cass for Frankie. If Frankie doesn't want to talk to Cass, then Frankie needs to tell Cass that herself. Frankie stutters over asking Sharlene what Cass said, and Sharlene replies that he didn't say anything, and that Sharlene told him to call Frankie later. Frankie is upset that Sharlene told Cass to call her later. John arrives home from his shift at the hospital then, and Sharlene greets him with a kiss. John had to leave the ball before the end to report to work, so he asks what happened at the end of the ball and how it was. Frankie says it was terrible, and Sharlene says it was fine. After offering to make John a cold meat loaf sandwich, Sharlene tells him that Frankie is having trouble with her love life. John asks what's going on with Cass. Frankie says Cass is not part of her life. "He left Cecile for Frankie!" Sharlene exclaims triumphantly.

"Oh, did not," Frankie grumbles.

"Did too," Sharlene shoots back.

John's too tired to follow the conversation, and has to go back to the hospital again tonight, so Sharlene offers to tuck him in. As they're kissing, Frankie tells them they're sickening, and she'll bring a sandwich upstairs for John. Frankie watches as John and Sharlene head upstairs hand in hand.
