Nah, don't worry about bumping an old thread as long as you have something relevant to add, which I think you did a good job at doing.
I really like this episode too, but there's always been something that bugs me about it. And that's the very end where Frankie gives the job as House President back to Mr. H. I mean, the house voted for her, they wanted
her to be president. And in running for president she should have realized she would be committed once elected. It would be like whoever was elected president of a country to suddenly hand over the job to the president they had just replaced, without consulting the country's people. It's just not ethical.
I of course am not saying Frankie was "bad" in doing what she did. She couldn't have been able to survive with the salary she was making now. But with Madame F being her grandma and the employer, you'd think she could just talk to her and come to some kind of barter. I believe Madame F would have understood and given Frankie the pay she deserved. That would have made more sense than for Frankie to hand over the keys back to Mr. H. It didn't feel very in character for her either.
I would also have loved to see Frankie in a much more pleasurable job than the job she holds now, which is primarily cooking and cleaning. Even in the future, if she had kept her job, I imagine she's like me and would end up doing some cooking and cleaning anyway because she wants to help out and/or it's just simply the responsible thing to do. So it didn't have to change the story or her character at all.
Those are just my thoughts on the matter.
