## General info

### Late August 2019

Having been called by a distraught Julian six weeks ago, Frank knew the tragic circumstances behind his infant grandson's passing and the transitive object therapy his mentally ill daughter was going through with the Reborn Doll.

### Baptism for a Doll

About two months later, before "Jericho's" baptism, not knowing the Turners now had a living infant boy, he suggested they adopt a baby to use in place of the doll as he did not want Dorothy showing off the Doll to family and friends. He made a speech at Jericho's baptism, highlighting how Dorothy and Sean will give the baby a lot of love.

### Christmas Eve

Frank goes to the Turner house with his new much younger partner, Kourtney. He is sat in Julian’s car going over the plan with Julian for Jericho to reunite with the Turners. He sees flaws in this which Julian does not appreciate and tells his father so. They enter the Turner house and he greets Dorothy and introduced Kourtney.

He eats dinner with the Turners and then begins to play charades with Kourtney and Julian. He says it may be best for them to leave if Dorothy using a not so good emotional state, but Dorothy and Sean encourage them to stay as Dorothy wants to see her family having a nice Christmas. Later, Julian collapses out the bathroom and Frank goes to his son’s side to tend to him while Sean performs CPR. When Leanne is able to revive Julian and the paramedics arrive, Frank and Kourney follow Julian, who is in the ambulance, to the hospital.

### Asked to Do a Favor

Frank arrives at the Turner house for a celebration meal to celebrate Sean’s appearance on *Gourmet Gauntlet*. He arrives with Kourtney who is quickly ushered into the kitchen, while he is taken into the living room by Dorothy. He says he is surprised to see Leanne still there, and Dorothy acknowledges Leanne has indeed not left yet. Frank says this is because Dorothy was too soft. When Dorothy explains the situation and wants Leanne institutionalized, Frank says that is a very serious measure but Dorothy still asks for his help. The pair are interrupted by Leanne who is serving appetizers. Later, when Frank is sat down with the Turners watching Sean’s episode, Dorothy turns it over to the news where Isabelle is reporting on an active shooting. Frank watches on as Isabelle is shot dead, thankful that his daughter was not there.

### Double-Crossing His Daughter

Having called his psychologist friend Dale Mackenzie, Frank later comes to house unexpectedly to have his own daughter finally committed to a mental hospital for her increasing lack of sleep and refusal to allow anyone even near Jericho.

### Assisting With the Bedbug Situation

In a hazmat suit, Frank returns to house months after his still mentally ill daughter's fall and paralyzed condition to get rid of the increasing swarms of bedbugs on all of Spruce Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

### One-And-a-Half Birthday Party for His Grandson
