Cass and Frankie 1990--Making Peace, and Making Progress

Cass concludes a phone call by thanking the person on the other end of the line and telling them that he's sure Frankie will thank them too. Then Lucas walks in and says his office got a message that he was to come to the law office right away and asks if Stacey reached a break in his case. Cass tells Lucas that he's the one who called, and that Winthrop and Edwards is not going to represent Lucas. Cass and Lucas are arguing about this, with Lucas saying he didn't hire Winthrop and Edwards, he hired Stacey, and Cass saying that the firm doesn't need the bad publicity Lucas is certain to bring them when Frankie walks in and ends up playing peacemaker between Cass and Lucas. She asks to talk to Cass, and then calmly, reasonably points out the logical reasons that Lucas should remain Stacey's client: Stacey is going to be very angry if Cass goes behind her back like this and gets rid of her client; over the past couple of months, Frankie has gotten to know Lucas very well, and he has treated Frankie very well and done some good things for Frankie even when he had every reason not to; and way beyond that, Frankie cannot believe that Cass would deny Lucas the chance to get the best representation he can get. Isn't that what the law is all about? Cass tells Frankie that he hates it when she's right. Frankie replies that she knows he does and tells him to sue her. Cass tells Lucas that a cooler head has prevailed, and they will represent him. Lucas thanks Frankie for interceding on his behalf. Cass warns Lucas that if Lucas is not straight with Stacey, or if he hurts Stacey in any way, Cass will come looking for him. Lucas tells Frankie goodbye and leaves. Frankie thanks Cass for keeping Lucas as a client of the firm. Cass tells Frankie that she had a couple of good points, and if they're going to be together and work things out, he has to listen to what she has to say. Frankie tells Cass he doesn't *have* to listen to her, and he tells her that he wants to listen to her. Frankie kisses Cass on the cheek. Then Cass says, "Isn't that something? No lightning bolts, no sprinklers going off, no cops busting in. We must be making progress."
