I'm not so sure I agree that they were "just trying to be funny". Torturing Frankie is funny when done right, but I'm sorry, but I just don't see what's so funny about a premise in which she gets torn apart from start-to-finish with absolutely no redemption aside from a worthless apology at the very end, at the hands of a complete jerk of a guest character(Who inexplicably gets away with it). The nature in which she got abused was so callously severe that I have no choice but to believe that they DELIBERATELY wanted to shock and aggravate viewers.
My fingers remain crossed that future Frankie episodes will be more like "Setting A President" than "Imposter's".
