Cass & Frankie 1989--Frankie Cools Out Caroline Stafford

This scene originally came right after Felicia told Frankie that Frankie seemed to be jealous of Caroline, at the party to welcome Cass back from his vacation. This is the day after that, and will be referenced in future scenes that I hope to be posting today, which is why I went back and captured it after forgetting to do so originally.

Frankie reminisces about moments she and Cass have shared, including their first meeting; their fight at the Longshoreman about the investigation into Jason Frame's murder; their late-night pinball game; their 4th of July stakeout in Frankie's car across from Lucas's apartment building; and Cass's initial reaction when Frankie cleared off his desk in preparation for forcing him to go on vacation.

Derek arrives at the law office to see Stacey, who isn't there, and finds Frankie writing "Caroline" on several little slips of paper. Frankie then puts the slips of paper in an ice cube tray, fills the tray with water. Frankie and Derek hear Cass and Caroline laughing from inside Cass's private office, and Derek asks who's in there, so Frankie tells him, and then puts the tray in the little freezer to make ice cubes. Derek asks Frankie what she just did there with the ice tray, and she replies that she's trying to cool Caroline out a little bit. Caroline seems to just radiate bad vibes whenever she comes into the room, and Pasham gave Frankie this recipe for cooling out bad vibes. Derek surmises that Frankie doesn't like Caroline much. "Did I say that?" Frankie asks. Smiling, Derek says Frankie is jealous that Caroline's in there with Cass. Frankie scoffs at this, just as she did with Felicia, insisting that she's just trying to get some work done and that woman...Frustrated, Frankie cuts herself off and then says Caroline is the last thing Cass needs right now, because Cass needs to get through what happened with Nicole.

"If you say so," Derek says.

Frankie insists that she is not jealous, and she and Derek are interrupted when Cass and Caroline come out of Cass's private office. Frankie formally introduces Derek and Caroline. Cass and Caroline are both surprised that Derek is knowledgeable about a certain artist whose work Caroline is displaying, and Derek and Caroline chat about it. Then Caroline gets a sudden chill. Frankie says it must be the air conditioning. Cass walks Caroline to the door with his arms around her, and Derek tells Frankie the ice cubes don't seem to be working, so she might want to try something a little stronger. Frankie tells Derek to consider it done. After Caroline leaves, Frankie opts not to talk to Cass about the conflict of interest with Lucas. Cass isn't pleased that Derek is going to wait for Stacey to get back so they can talk, but Derek insists on waiting because he needs to talk to Stacey, and it's waited long enough.
