Cass and Frankie 1990--Emma Gives Frankie, Then Cass, a Hard Time

Описание: Emma Ordway has a very prickly personality and, despite her assertion in this scene that she and Frankie are close, these are only the first scenes in which we clearly see that Frankie's mother is one of the sources directly responsible for her insecurities...and that she doesn't think much of Cass, or of Frankie choosing to marry him (so, yes, I dislike Emma).

Emma balks at Cass's offer of a late lunch at TOPS, his treat, when Sharlene returns, insisting that she doesn't drink champagne. Trying to avoid a scene, Frankie says that Emma can drink cherry pop. Emma indignantly says since when does she drink cherry pop? Frustrated, Frankie explodes that Emma can drink water, then, and Emma's response is to tell Frankie there's no need for her to be snippy. Then when Frankie offers to make her mother a sandwich, Emma initially refuses, then wants Frankie to toast the bread and cut off the crusts.

After Frankie leaves to make Emma's sandwich, Cass tells Emma that he loves Frankie very much. Emma says she wants to believe that, but makes it clear that she doesn't by throwing Cecile, Caroline, and Nicole in Cass's face. Cass thinks she was checking up on him, but she says that Frankie told her because they're so close. Emma accuses Cass of saying "I love you" to a whole bunch of people, basically every woman he dates.

Then Grant's campaign manager calls the house looking for John, who leaves to meet the man, Ted, while Cass heads outside to get away from Emma and her judgmental attitude.
