Cass and Frankie Have Dinner at Douglas and Christy's House, 1992--Part 1

Christy is rushing around trying to make sure everything is perfect before Cass and Frankie arrive for dinner. Douglas thinks she's getting a little carried away, and asks her if he should have checked with her first before inviting them for dinner. Is Christy angry with him about that? Christy tells Douglas she's not angry. Douglas asks why she didn't have them over before now. Christy replies that it hasn't been the right time, that's all. Douglas asks Christy what she's not telling him. She evades the question. Douglas tells Christy that he wishes she would just tell him if there's some problem. Christy replies that she just wants tonight to be a success. Douglas assures her it will be. Cass and Frankie arrive then and exchange greetings with Douglas and Christy. Frankie returns the book on herbs that she borrowed from Douglas, and Cass brought a bouquet of flowers. Frankie shows Cass some of Douglas's indoor garden. When Frankie says she has some questions about the healing powers of some of the herbs, Cass and Christy derail the conversation, with Cass saying that once Frankie gets started on herbs, all thoughts of food leave her mind, and Christy saying that Frankie doesn't want to get started on that. Douglas tells Frankie that they'll get together to discuss herbs just the two of them. Frankie thinks that sounds perfect, then heads off to help Christy with the appetizers while Douglas offers Cass a drink. As Cass pours the drinks, he says that he'll have to stop kidding Frankie that way because one of these days she'll take him seriously. Douglas asks Cass if he's serious about some of what he said to Frankie. Cass replies he's not serious about it at all. He respects Frankie's beliefs. He was just joking about it. Douglas says that in his experience, women sometimes mistake humor for criticism, so Cass should avoid it. Cass replies that he doesn't think they have anything to worry about with two such straightforward women as Frankie and Christy. Douglas doesn't think Frankie and Christy are very similar in many ways, but adds that he's just met Frankie. Meanwhile, Frankie asks Christy why she's mad at Frankie. Christy says she's not mad, but Frankie retorts that she knows why Christy is mad: she came over without asking first and talked to Douglas, but she wasn't prying. Christy tells her to forget it, but Frankie refuses because Christy is mad at her. Frankie asks Christy if she really did a terrible thing coming over to talk to Douglas alone. Thanks to Janie for the scenes.
