What can a father do when your little girl always wants the crazy things? Frank Plum nods a brief goodbye to his younger daughter and the quiet young man he kind of likes, and turns back to his TV. He never says much about the men in Stephanie's life because she's a grown woman and it is, after all, her life. But he did ask Stephanie if she was sure Dickie Orr was the right man for her. The moment she broke into a beautiful shy happy smile, Frank knew he had no choice but to hold his tongue. You can't just tell a woman in love that she's in love with the wrong man. And the problem with Stephanie is she never ever listens to reason and advice even if she knows you are right. She's simply too stubborn and, Frank lets out a sigh, sometimes as crazy as his mother-in-law.
So, 15 seconds after he walked her down the aisle, she came back home all tears and fury and divorced. And as to that Morelli boy...no, he doesn't want to talk about Joe Morelli. What kind of man will steal his girlfriend's father's cookies? Frank frowns in disgust at the unpleasant memory. He has absolutely no whatsoever idea what Stephanie saw in that little scumbag. And this Ranger seems like a smart and decent man. He has his own security business and gives Stephanie expensive cars all the time. And as much as Frank Plum is unwilling to admit, he'd love to test drive one of those shining sleek black German cars sometime. And no, he won't mind having Ranger as his son-in-law. Frank Plum keeps on watching his TV and popping macadamia chocolates into his mouth, totally unaware that right now inside the kitchen, his frustrated and desperate wife almost screams like a crazy banshee when she once again calls the hairy Italian Stallion but only gets the voicemail.
