The Fall

❝
***Frankie*** – *Like it or not, you're my friend*
***Grace*** – *I like it*

**The Fall** is the 5th episode of Season 1 of *Grace and Frankie*.

## Synopsis

Grace has an eye-opening experience when she goes out for frozen yogurt with Frankie and Brianna on a Saturday night.

## Starring

Jane Fonda as **Grace Hanson**
Lily Tomlin as **Frankie Bergstein**
Martin Sheen as **Robert Hanson**
June Diane Raphael as **Brianna Hanson**
Guest starring
Corbin Bernsen as **Dr. Paul Mason**
## Quotes

❝
*Guess what, I'm the other person all this happened to. I'm just like you. But with a better personality*
—Frankie to Grace
## Trivia

* Grace has a daydream about how much Frankie is there for her and finally understands that she likes Frankie

CONTINUITY
* Frankie mentions in this episode that she already had two children at Brianna's age. As Brianna turns 40 in 2019, we can assume she is 36 in this episode. However, Frankie is born in 1945 and her sons were born in 1984 (Bud) and 1985 (Coyote), meaning she had her children at age 38-40. This could me a continuity error, or just a mathematical mistake by Frankie.

2. ↑ First episode in which Sol does not appear. However, he is mentioned. Mallory also does not appear, but is mentioned.
Cathleen Skolka

❝
*When you told me your girlfriend was a little older than usual, I imagined her as forty. Not two times forty*
**Cathleen Skolka** is a character on *Grace and Frankie*, portrayed by Jennifer Rhodes.

## Story

Cathleen is the mother of Nick Skolka and therefore the new mother-in-law of Grace Hanson. Cathleen is also the grandmother of Keith Skolka, and the former mother-in-law of Miriam and Danielle Skolka. She married Mr. Skolka at some point and had a son with him:

1. Nicholas "Nick" Skolka (1963)

Nick became very rich through his company, OmniTECH and married three times. Cathleen gained a grandson, Keith, from his first marriage whom she loved very much.

Several years later, Cathleen was meeting with her son for lunch when it was interrupted by Grace Hanson, who thought Nick was meeting with a romantic date. Cathleen was surprised to see how old Grace was.

## Relationships

Nick Skolka
She seems to love her son a lot. Cathleen affectionately calls him "Nicky".

Keith Skolka
Cathleen loves her grandson and comes all the way to San Diego to visit him.

Grace Hanson
Cathleen seemed displeased with Grace when first meeting her, having imagined her son's girlfriend as much younger. Grace tried to please Cathleen by appearing like a loving grandmother. Nick was quick to reveal Grace actually dislikes spending time with her grandchildren. Cathleen seemed shocked by this, as well as Grace's decision to declare her love for Nick later at the same brunch. She finished their conversation with the words: "You sure know how to crash a lunch".

Macklin

**Macklin "Mack"** (Born August 14th, 2007 ) is a guest character on Grace and Frankie. He is Grace Hanson's eldest grandchild, the son of Mitch and Mallory Hanson. He is also the eldest of their four children.

## Background

Macklin was born to Mitch and Mallory Hanson in 2007 after 37 hours of labour. He was staying with his grandmother Jean when his sister Madison was born.

When he was little, he and his sister were scared by Coyote Bergstein who was high and stoned, shouting on their lawn and destroying their mailbox.

He bonded with his grandmother when his mother was on bedrest. After his parents' divorce, his mother gained custody and often had Coyote watch Macklin and his siblings while she worked.

## Trivia

* While his grandmother Grace Hanson doesn't like children, he seems to be her favourite grandchild. She keeps toys hidden in her house for when he comes over and they play cards together in The Negotiation.
* He is afraid of clowns.
* His favourite actress is Marcia Gay Harden, who is coincidentally also Frankie Bergstein's favourite actress.

## References

1. ↑ In the flashback of "The Elevator" he is heard talking to his parents on the phone. As children can't talk untill they're two to three years old, and the flashback takes place in 2010, Macklin is born around or before 2008.
2. ↑ Frankie mentions in The Squat that Macklin's birthday is August 14th.

Keith Skolka

**Keith Nicholas Skolka** is the son of Nick Skolka and his first wife Miriam Skolka, and the step-son of Grace Hanson. He works at his father's company, Omni Tech, in the legal department. His mother also works there as his father's business partner.

## Biography

Keith was born to Nick and Miriam during their marriage, which was very unhappy. They didn't fit together and constantly fought, making for a very unhappy childhood for Keith. Keith's only consolation in his lonely childhood was the help, Giacomo, who drove him to soccer every week.

His parents finally divorced when his mother cheated on his father with Giacomo. In later years, the family would look back upon the time with humor and nuance.

Both his father and his mother would remarry multiple times and Keith gained multiple stepparents. He wasn't as close to all of them, especially his father's third wife Danielle Skolka.

When his father married Grace Hanson, a much older woman who had previously threatened to sue Keith for stealing her vibrator, he opened her with open arms, even calling her "New Mom".

An awkward situation came to be when Grace invited Keith to dinner with Miriam already being there. Keith said "Hi, mom" to his mother, and Grace assumed he was talking to her. It was only then that she found out Miriam and Nick used to be married.

## Trivia

* He and his mother are really close. His paternal grandmother, Cathleen Skolka, also comes to San Diego especially to see him, signifying they have a loving relationship too. He and his father have a difficult relationship, however. His father avoids contact with him and admits to being "a shitty parent".
* Like his stepsisters Brianna and Mallory Hanson, and their stepbrother, Nwabudike Bergstein, he works with his parents at a company founded by them.

Veronika Zechshelm

File:Placeholder

Veronika Zechshelm is the 22-year-old daughter of Kaiser Zechshelm and princess of the Alfaxmos Imperium.

## History

The Kaiser once described his daughter as 'dangerously adorable.' Indeed, as a little girl Veronika melted the frozen hearts of even the most stony-faced Alfaxmos veterans, and had free reign of the Imperial Palace in Huss.

Despite enjoying a great deal of fame from the public as a child, her teenage years were spent in relative isolation. She moved from school to school and spent little time on her studies until she was permitted to attend a brief but intense stay at the Imperial War Mage College in Huss.

From then until very recently, she was completely absent from public life.

## Characteristics

Despite her unkempt hair, lack of style, and love of drink, Veronika is still her father's daughter. Abject melancholy is only occasionally interrupted by brief bouts of passion- violent, sarcastic, or otherwise. She has a soft spot in her heart for order, and enjoys the perks of her status as royalty.

Her childlike lust for adventure is supposedly dead and gone, but there is a glint in her eye that suggests this may not be the case.

She loves her brother Otto  dearly. Her sister Sofie is... definitely her sister.

## Post-Coalition War

Princess Veronika fled her homeland with her husband Rusty Calico and they now reside in Kesh, where she advises the current Czarista, Collette Bell. She has lended her experience of her academy years in Huss in the founding and maintaining of a school of wizardry in Kesh Capitol.

## Rumors

* During her teenage years she bounced between schools with alarming frequency. Rumors say that all she did was party and drink, others claim the Kaiser refused to believe she was too slow for the material.
* Veronika is a favorite punching bag for foreign tabloids. Constantly accused of being a drunk and a whore, a few Celestine newspapers even kept an alleged abortion tally that went well into the double digits. Stories of her supposed daliances range from stable boys to Primarch Zadar. No wonder she doesn't travel much.
* Many exotic and foreign spirits have been shipped to the Imperial Palace, and it's rumored that Veronika is a serious connoisseur.
* Some say her time with the War Mages was well spent, and that she specifically studied counters to enchantments. Others claim she sought darker secrets.
* While secrecy is nothing new for the Zechshelm royal family, Veronika was noticeably absent for years after nearly two decades of being in the public eye. Her personality change fuelled rumors of her death and replacement, brainwashing, and even defection.
Billy Ray

Billy Ray is a middle-aged orc hailing from the Northern Wastes.

## History

Billy Ray has had a chaotic past and is not willing to speak much of it. Scarred and marred by countless troubles that he still carries with him, he is a soft-spoken man of few words.

Billy has travelled a long way to escape his troubles, that much is certain. His journey deposited him outside of Port Candace, where he has hoped to remain alone and unbothered by the outside world.

## Characteristics

Sargon Kesh

File:Placeholder
Sargon Kesh is the 55-year-old patriarch of the Kesh dynasty; the oldest known family in the Core Empires and perhaps even the world. He is the current Czar of Kesh.

## History

The oldest son of his parents, Sargon Kesh was born into one of the largest royal families ever seen. With many brothers, sisters, and cousins, he learned compassion at an early age.

The storybook romance with his childhood friend Duchess Lana (now Czarista Lana) is well known even outside of Kesh. They have many children; two sons (Bratsk  and Tomsk)  and five daughters (Yeni, Chita, Sokola, Mirny, and Koza.)

Despite the obvious overall decline of the country, the people are fond of their Czar.

## Characteristics

In casual conversation, the common people simply refer to him as "Father Kesh" or "Papa Kesh." Softspoken but friendly, he shies away from political and government duties in favor of spending time with his family. Indeed, the laws of Kesh were written long ago, and the Czar sees little reason to change them.

Perpetually on vacation, he commonly hosts foreign dignitaries in the capitol, tours through the streets, and picnics in the countryside. Given his stature, he is surprisingly approachable.

## Post-Coalition War

Immediately after the end of the Coalition War, the Czar's eldest son, Bratsk, was married to Collette Bell. As part of the wedding ceremony they coronated their son and his wife and stepped down as Czar and Czarista. Sargon and his wife have happily retired and now live to spoil their beloved grandchildren, Pyotr and Nadia.

## Rumors

* The people of Kesh generally like the royal family, but apparently many are frustrated over the empire's poor financial situation, and there are even whispers of revolt. No one knows why the Czar doesn't do anything about it.
* There are rumors that Kesh's youngest son is deathly ill, and that the family has hired a fiend-touched warlock to care for him.
* Outside of Kesh, people don't think too highly of the Czar's ability to rule.
* The Kingdom of Dumat is filled with stories of incest and infidelity among the royal family. However, everywhere else in the Core Empires, the Kesh dynasty has an infuriatingly wholesome reputation. The Czar assumes Dumat is just jealous.
* Prince Bratsk, the Czar's son, is famous for his ability to drink. The Czar's brother, General Brusilov, has a downright legendary liver. No stories about Sargon Kesh, however. How mysterious.

Jacob

❝
*I'll always have your yams, because I'll always be your Yam Man*
—Jacob to Frankie[src]**Jacob** is a recurring character on *Grace and Frankie*. He is portrayed by Ernie Hudson.

## Character

Newspapers

File:Placeholder
Newspapers are daily or weekly pamphlets, distributed anywhere from locally to internationally, that are dedicated to informing people about occurrences of note.

## Details

The vast majority of newspapers are simple one-page broadsheets published locally, within a town or a handful of close villages. The largest papers command readerships that number in the tens of millions and are distributed across the Core Empires. However, there are areas where certain newspapers cannot be found- Dumat newspapers are nearly impossible to find in Kesh, for example.

Major events feature prominently on the front page, while interesting tidbits (such as classified ads) and news of only minor importance can be found further in.

## Reliability and Censorship

The major journalists of the Core Empires have earned a reputation for being unscrupulous- most papers resemble a tabloid than a source of honest analysis. Critics say this is because papers are profit driven, and sensationalize their headlines to move units.

Some newspapers carry heavy bias. *The Huss Chronicle* is available outside the Alfaxmos Imperium, but sells poorly due to its blatant Alfaxmos slant, and it is even illegal to sell or purchase a copy in the Celestine Empire.

Other papers are independent, or underground, like the revolutionary *Stand Up Today*. Such papers are almost always illegal.

Westmoreland Trade Company

File:Placeholder
The Westmoreland Trade Company is a chartered company based out of the city of Westmoreland in the Barony. It is thought to be the single largest and wealthiest non-imperial entity in the world.

## History

No one knows when the small family business that preceeded the Westmoreland Trade Company truly began, but when the Alfaxmos Imperium and the Celestine Empire began to encroach on the Barony's waters, Barons and private investors alike flocked to the modestly successful local business.

With the influx of cash, the modern Westmoreland Trade Company was born. They used the money to secure trade routes and bring businesses into their fold, eventually having outposts in nearly every city in every nation of the Core Empires.

## Rail Monopoly

Only a few decades ago, Westmoreland engineers developed a novel idea; a steam engine that travels over land via rail. Now, all the Core Empires covet the railroads that crisscross their territories. Because they acted as quickly and as secretly as possible, the Westmoreland Trade Company owns and operates every railway in the world, from which they generate unfathomable amounts of money.

## Organization

The Westmoreland Trade Company accepts funding from investors, who in turn expect to profit from their initial investment. The identity of its biggest investors is a closely guarded secret.

National branches are run from offices in major metropolises, with small local offices performing more detailed, specialized tasks such as running mail at post offices or stocking warehouses. The only aspect of the Company not overseen by national branch managers is the railroad, which has its own division.

Westmoreland prefers to hire locally, but also tends to keep a low profile. The Company is so ubiquitous that people don't even notice how many of their daily routines revolve around Westmoreland schedules and products.

The current CEO is Baron Charles, who oversees all operations and negotiations.

## Activities and Rumors

* Westmoreland has lost a great deal of Relics to Mr. X, but no bounties have been posted or offered. Some say the Company is just a front for the Ravenguard, others say that Westmoreland is taking appropriate measures behind closed doors.
* The Westmoreland Trade Company is offering enormous rewards for adventurers brave enough to embark on expeditions into the colonial wilderness. There is a rumor that the Company has many leads on long lost Relics.
* There are rumors that Westmoreland deliberately keeps a low profile for nefarious reasons. Indeed, ask around and many people couldn't tell you a single thing about the Company.
* Scholars tend to be a little uneasy when the Westmoreland Trade Company is brought up- nothing like it has ever been seen before, and its only real rival is the disreputable Redfield Incorporated. The Company has a navy and an army of mercenaries that rivals the Core Empires. There are worries that the Company is the true face behind the Black Hand.
The Fake Funeral

**The Fake Funeral** is the 15th episode of Season 7 of *Grace and Frankie*.

## Synopsis

Frankie decides to host her own funeral. Grace is forced to attend a meeting alone. Brianna is irritated by her family's support for Barry.

## Starring

Jane Fonda as **Grace Hanson**
Lily Tomlin as **Frankie Bergstein**

Brooklyn Decker as **Mallory Hanson**
June Diane Raphael as **Brianna Hanson**

Redfield Incorporated

File:Placeholder
Redfield Incorporated is a chartered company operating out of Ashburn Sound in the Barony. Infamous for its ruthless reputation, it is one of the largest and wealthiest companies of its kind in the world.

## History

After the collapse of the Old Empire, chaos reigned supreme in many parts of the Core, where only those who could afford mercenaries could maintain power and control. Enter the Redfield family and what they call the "people business".

At no time in history have mercenaries ever been in slow demand. It is rumored that the Redfields were operating at the sunset of the Old Empire, renting fighters and hedge wizards to Barons and Patriarchs alike. Over time, Redfield diversified their portfolio to include weapons, armor, ships, indentured servants, and trade services as well.

## Accusations of Slavery

Ask anyone on the street about slavery, and they will tell you it is illegal. However, at least in the eastern half of the Barony, "Indentured Servitude" is not. Detractors call it slavery in a fancy suit, while its defenders claim that it is justice as well as lucrative- the company "buys" prisoners and/or criminals from municipalities, then puts them to work on farms or in factories for a certain amount of time to "pay off their debt."

Rumors of corruption, negligence, and worse are widespread.
Redfield Incorporated operates what they call "Brokerages" throughout the Core Empires,  one of the largest located in Koval Bay. It is here where people are bought and sold... and sometimes paperwork gets lost.

## Organization

Redfield Incorporated is owned and operated by the Redfield clan- a family business, if you will. The current CEO is Baron Redfield, with his wife, sons, daughters, and various other family members operating branches of the company locally, usually with the prestige of the position directly correlating with the importance of the family member.

The company is rumored to use the bitter relations between the Core Empires to its advantage. A Redfield branch in Kesh  sending a hit squad to kill someone in the Kingdom of Dumat has nothing to worry about- Kesh would never extradite its own citizens to its greatest foe.

## Activities and Rumors

* Rumors of Redfield Incorporated's corruption, cruelty, and ruthless business tactics are so widespread and diverse that most people take them as fact. Perhaps they are not wrong.
* Many would like to paint Redfield as little more than greedy thugs, but to last as long as the company has in their line of business requires more than just brawn.
* Redfield considers the Westmoreland Trade Company their biggest rival. However, there are rumors that Redfield won't make a move against the massive company for fear of overwhelming retribution.
* Much like Westmoreland, Redfield has lost Relics to Mr. X. Unlike Westmoreland, Redfield is aggressively (and openly) seeking avenues for violent revenge.
* Some claim Redfield hit squads have been sent against the Knights Vanguard of the Church. Such an endeavor would be quite expensive, indeed.
