My personal thought is this: Mr. Herriman decides to accompany and monitor Frankie on her latest day off(*), which of course wouldn't please her at all.

Now, I don't know the exact details as to what would happen. One idea I have is that Frankie would plan to go to some kind of party and meet up with a group of same-age girls whom she says are her outside friends. After going through much planning, re-planning, delaying and nearly being driven insane by Herriman's interveening, she eventually arrives at the party--only to be ridiculed and mocked by her "friends". It turns out Frankie was only hanging out with them because they're the "cool girls" in town--and they decided to play an elaborate prank on her by befriending her in return, when they in fact HATE imaginary friends and think she is a complete loser for dedicating her entire life to them; and decided to invite her to the party, just so that they could prey on what they believe is a very "uncool" girl.

Remember that SpongeBob SquarePants episode where SpongeBob and Squidward nearly kill themselves trying to deliver the Krusty Krab pizza to it's customer? How when they finally arrived, the customer completely rejects them because the order wasn't exactly what he wanted? How SpongeBob broke down and cried... and what Squidward, who usually HATES him, did in return? Well, that more or less explains how Herriman would react to the group of girls at the very end.

(* - And if you're wondering how the house would be run with both of them out for the day; Mr. Herriman could appoint Wilt to take care of the place while they're gone, and/or even hire some sitters, like Frankie did in FGTE)

Awww, that sounds sweet, and like it could flesh out Frankie's personality even more, too. Frankie doesn't seem to care what people think about her, but I think everyone at least sometimes wants to be cool and for people to like them, even if they're people they know they wouldn't form lifelong friendships with or anything. That would make Frankie seem even more three-dimensional.

.....and nothing will ever convince me that there's a better episode of SBSP than that one.
