The thing with Frankie that didn't bother me as much as it did with Mac was because, Frankie is one an adult and someone who deals with hard crap in her life on a regular basis. Working for Herriman is no doubt a stressful expierence, but she manages to get by.
Seeing her think that friend was a monster or a killer is something we would all typically do, unless we tried to calm down a bit. We fear that situation because we don't know what's out there or who is out there, with "Wails" that wasn't the case.
While I am not doubting nor am I disregarding the obvious comedic elements to beating someone with a barrage of fruits, it's still a form of "attacking". And to me, seeing Mac getting so intently smashed and "forced" away from Foster's was kind of hurting.
Fruit or no fruit, it's a terribly hurtful expierence to have the friends and loved ones of your life try so hard to keep you from coming back. Like when Goo first arrived and Mac was being asked not to come back to Foster's because of his "relation" to her.
Which I felt was unfair seeing as how Mac NEVER said Goo was his girlfriend, and he was being blamed for a girl beyond his (and I imagine her parents) control. Anyways my point is that Frankie was scarred, it's a crappy thing to have happen to you but people get over getting freaked out.
It's easier because it happens on accident, in the movies, in TV and etc. Getting told verbally or physically (fruitfully in this case) to stay away by your friends who are working with your worst enemy, Terrence, that just hurts. Or at least that's the way I saw it.
It's more along the lines of seeing your friends turn against you being damaging and pain, that's how I feel about it.

You stretched that out fine, gave me plenty of insight anyway. And really, for the most part, I agree with you.
Now, I see that the situations are different. But it seems that you don't enjoy the latter part of "Duchess of Wails" for ultimately the same reason I dislike most of "Blooooo"; we both find those respective parts difficult to watch, we don't enjoy watching them.
In that way, I think, our opinions are similar.
Now, if they'd just hurry up and start showing new episodes we could talk about what Frankie did in them. Rehashing is fun, but one can only do so much, ya know?
