Come to Papa

Frank buys an expensive crib at Sue's demand but hates that he has to fix it up himself. So his dad comes and helps him. Frank leaves the task up to his dad and together they have this weird spontaneous therapy session where he grumbles and gripes about what's eating him this week. It's basically everything.

It's a nice, sorta wholesome episode. The family all share the screen and have their own developments. And for once the season, Frank doesn't hate his dad.

Text: We all know that Frank is going to screw up. It's just his nature.

Sue doesn't want the baby around Frank's negative aura so she decides to take the kids with her to the mall; leaving Frank and his dad to figure out how to assemble the new baby's crib. She says to the kids that she might buy them pretzels. As they work Frank tells his dad about his past week:

On Monday: Frank makes good on his promise to attend a birthing class with Sue. As they walk in he is surprised by a large poster of a woman's privates. The hippie lady asks him if the privates makes him uneasy to which he replies: "No. It's just that I'm uncomfortable being face- to- face with one". Sue chimes in, somewhat sadly: "I can vouch for that". Frank is traumatized while watching a movie on childbirth. He stays like that all night and most of the next day.

On Tuesday: When the local polling places are shut down Frank enlists Smokey to help drive anyone voting for Rosie to the polls in the next city, Whitesboro.

Maureen's rehearsal is a train wreck. So is Bill's hockey game. Later, Frank is brought to tears by Kevin.

Sue and Frank attend their second birthing class. Frank and the hippie lady square off. We see why Frank bought the new crib.

Later, Frank is brought to tears by his dad. He seems like a changed man but Sure is unsure.
