And I still laugh out loud every time I see the scene where Felicia stops Frankie's nurse from taking her a meal tray that consists of liver and tells the nurse that Frankie will much prefer what she(Felicia) has in her bag:"carrot juice, a veggie burger, and for dessert a wheat germ and kiwi tart." "That combo makes liver sound good," responds the nurse. Then Felicia says, "It does doesn't it? And to top it off I've brought her six of my novels!" "Only six?" says the nurse sarcastically. The expression on Linda Dano's face says it all----and it gets me every time.

The one thing that did make me laugh was when the Sharlene lookalike in Heaven told Frankie that Jason Frame was "way, WAY downtown." That's where I came in: when Jason crashed through the mirror and fell dead at Felicia's feet, and in the following weeks, before Frankie's arrival, they did enough flashbacks and provided enough background story for me to know that Jason was a total slime, and then with the whole Sharly story we found out that Jason allowed his friends to sexually abuse Sharlene when she was just a little girl, so Jason being "way, WAY downtown" was the polite way of saying "Jason is roasting in Hell." And he deserves it.

I was with Dean and Sharlene at first, blaming Kathleen again. (It's just so easy to do.) "Kathleen? This is about Kathleen AGAIN?"

Dean praying in the chapel was the first place I really lost it. It didn't help that they were playing the theme from "On Golden Pond" in the background when he was praying, because that's the same music they played when Rachel learned that Mac was dead and when she was given his final letter to her, which he hadn't gotten in the mail before he died, and then it played while Victoria Wyndham's voice-over read Mac's final letter to Rachel aloud. Dean was so right about the world needing more people like Frankie. Him begging God to let Frankie live, and Dean will never play another song or write another tune...and then Sharlene finds him in the chapel and they both admit that they have no idea how to be strong right now but they have to figure out because it's what Frankie would do.

Ryan crying at Frankie's bedside and telling her, "You're my best friend, and I need you" was also sad. I noticed that Frankie opened her eyes when Ryan was talking to her.

And then Cass got there, having no idea at all what had just happened, and then he was hit with it all at once, in between Dean trying to throw him out and Ryan coming out of Frankie's room as they called a Code Blue and Jamie and the other medical personnel went rushing in there. "Not Frankie. Oh, god, no, not Frankie!"

I got so caught up in this that I was sitting on the edge of my chair and I was in there fighting with Cass and then fighting with Frankie. I mean, I could feel it in my chest, in my heart, my stomach, my tears.

"This is NOT over," Cass says. "Frankie has faith. She believes you can will something to happen, and I believe I can't live my life without her. I can reach her. I can find her and bring her back!" Cass pulls up a stool and sits at her bedside. "Frankie? Frankie, it's me. I'm here. I love you. You come back to me. Don't leave me. Don't leave me now, please. Not now. Now that I know. I need you Frankie. Don't give up! Don't let go!" And he has his hand on her forehead, and he touches his forehead to her cheek. She's telling Cass she's all right.

Cass is screaming at Jamie and the nurse. Dean says to let Cass stay with Frankie.

Cass is crying and begging Frankie to fight and come back. "I'm not leaving this room without you!"

I LOVED that Frankie kept hearing Cass's voice in Heaven! And so many of the things she said: "I have a HUSBAND!" "I'm Cass's pseudo, once-and-future wife," "He needs to know that I love him and that I'm ready to give us a second chance!" and my personal favorite of all, "If Heaven is as perfect as everyone keeps telling me it is, then I should get what I want. And what I want is to be Cass's wife, for real and for a lifetime!"

Dean as the cruise director, and Sharlene and Jamie at the "bank" were hilarious. Felicia trying to talk Frankie into being reincarnated as the first female astronaut who would colonize Mars, and being the fitter was funny too.

Back at the hospital, Cass refusing to leave Frankie, insisting that she wasn't dead, and that he could bring her back...Everything he said and did, how he reached out to Dean even when Dean was so angry and trying to push him away and blaming him for what happened--"We ARE family! Frankie gave us to each other! Let's do this for her!" and then after he kissed her and felt her heart beating again and yelled for Jamie, and then when Jamie said it was over and Cass still wouldn't give up and told the others to help him help Frankie. "Are you with me? ARE YOU WITH ME?" Sharlene rushed over. I've always liked her (well, except when she was Sharly, but when she was Sharly she wasn't Sharlene), and Dean, and finally Jamie.

The part that got me the most though was Frankie seeing her and Cass's son in Heaven. I thought she just saw him as a baby. I had no idea, and at first I thought the same thing Frankie thought, that he was that Bobby Jensen kid she mentioned, the first person she ever knew that died. But when he said, "We made a pretty good team there for a while," and Frankie asked, "Where have I heard that before?" that's when I knew who he really was, and I actually put my hand to my mouth and said, "OMG!" and started crying harder. And Frankie's reaction, not wanting to leave her and Cass's son, telling him how worried she'd been about him, how much she wanted to give him a life, how much he'd love his daddy...

And as if that wasn't enough to have me all blurry-eyed with tears, then Frankie was torn because she wanted to stay with their son but Cass was SCREAMING for her to come back. And their son urged her to go home: "Go back! Go back! Daddy needs you!" Those three words--"Daddy needs you!"--I haven't cried like that since I originally saw the week Mac died!

And he was assuring her that she'll see him again. "You'll remember this, and you'll know! There isn't much time! Go!"

And she wakes up with Cass at her side, Sharlene, Dean and Jamie gathered all around.

I LOVED how they did that, how Cass was the first person she saw, and it was like a throwback to the theatre explosion aftermath. Remember that? The first thing Frankie said when she woke up outside the theatre with Cass at her side was, "You look like hell, Winthrop. When's the last time you took a shower?"

And in the hospital, the first thing she said was, "Congratulations, Winthrop. Now you've had two wives come back from the dead."

And Cass is crying, and so are Sharlene and Dean, and Jamie's shoulders are sagging in relief, and they've all backed away from the bed so Cass and Frankie can be alone, and Cass smiles after Frankie says that and kisses her forehead and then rests his cheek against her forehead, and "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" is playing, which is how it became Cass and Frankie's "official" song on the show.

In addition to the fantastic "Frankie in Heaven" series of scenes (you know I totally LOVED Felicia as Frankie's "AfterLife Fitter"), there follows the one when a heartbroken Cass goes to Felicia's to tell her that Frankie lost their baby.  Again, SS & LD totally rocked in their one-on-one scene (even if Lucas, like Mitch before him, didn't totally appreciate Cass & Felicia's BFF relationship).
