Wanted to get this new chapter out before I started those five day work weeks. It sort of just happened to be written smoothly, glad it did, give you guys something to enjoy on the start of a weekend.
Angela and Korsak just put the twins to bed, it was rough to see Todd sad and in his cast, when they ate some cake he didn't seem to enjoy it as much as he usually did. The adults were very concerned, Angela and Korsak were now sitting on the couch having the television on as background noise.
"There has to be something that we can do to cheer Todd up," Korsak mentioned. "I know he can't exactly do much but he doesn't need to be cooped up in our house all day."
"Well the twins seem to enjoy the aquarium, maybe we can take them there, make a day out of it. It would be Julian's first outing as well, makes for a nice family outing, wouldn't you say?" Angela suggested and Korsak smiled, kissing the side of her head.
"I think that's a great idea. Anything to keep those kids from getting depressed. That's a nasty thing to go through when you're young like them, being depressed."
Angela glanced up at her husband, "Were you depressed as a kid Vince?"
"Just a little bit, I was in the second grade when things all started to go downhill. It was after I lost my grandmother, the first time I ever knew what death was. I stopped hanging out with my friends and kind of closed myself off to my family as well. It followed me for months, this feeling of being lost. It was a real rough time," he explained and Angela sighed, resting her hand on his knee.
"How did you get through that?"
"I had to get therapy, that's not something a kid needs to have, they shouldn't need therapy at a young age. Kate and Todd has been through a lot, especially Todd, we both know how much he looks up to Tommy and Frost. The thought of losing more loved ones must be scary to him."
"At least we can help to make sure that doesn't happen, do whatever it takes to get Todd's mind off of the negative. Him knowing he's not alone will be productive in the end."
Korsak nodded, "At least he has us," he smiled softly, leaning his head back on the sofa. "What a time for Jane and Maura to go on vacation."
"They really needed time away, they have a lot on their plates, now with Jane being pregnant."
"Really? Jane's pregnant? I thought they took a test the other day and that it was negative."
"They must have taken another one because they shared their news with me this morning. Even told me not to make a big deal out of it."
"But that's a pretty big deal."
Angela smiled at her husband, "That's exactly what I said, glad we're on the same page, we should do something for them once they get back from their trip."
"That's a great idea, I'll do whatever I can to help. That's definitely something to celebrate. I can't believe that Jane is going to be an actual mother."
"Do you think she's going to do well?"
"I mean she's learned from the best."
"Oh you flatter me so, Vince," she leaned over to kiss him, it was short lived because it was interrupted by a knock on their front door. "Were you expecting anyone?"
"No, I'll go see who it is," Korsak patted her leg before going to open the door to see who it was. It was Tommy being held up by Kent. "Tommy, are you drunk?" he asked as he stumbled in with Kent.
"Maybe, but so is Kent, I don't know how he's so sturdy."
"How about I help you go sit down Tommy?" Kent led him to the couch where he sat down next to his mother.
"Hey Ma, I was thinking I could stay here tonight, on this lovely couch. Kent agreed that me being alone in my house without Barry is a bad idea. Can I stay, please?" Tommy pouted and Angela nodded.
"I think that would be best, thanks for bringing him over Kent, although I wish it was before he got drunk."
"I'm sorry Angela, sometimes you can't tell Tommy things, I think it's a Rizzoli thing to be stubborn."
"They got that from their father."
Korsak came back with a glass of water handing it to Tommy, "Drink this Tommy."
"Thanks Vincent, you're the man, you know that," he chuckled, chugging down the water. "May I have some more please?"
Korsak nodded, giving his wife a worried look before going to get more water.
"You need to get your rest," Angela sighed, getting up from the couch and going off into her room.
"I think Ma's upset Korsak," Tommy shouted towards the older man who came giving him another glass filled with water.
"Well I think she has a good reason to be. You know Todd has been worried about you all day."
"He has? Why I'm fine, right Kent?" he looked over at the Scottish man who gave him a disapproving look.
"I don't think you're fine Tommy, but I'll be here for you alright?" Kent reassured him. "Korsak, mind if I stay here to look out for him?"
Korsak nodded, "Yeah, just make sure he keeps his voice down, the twins have just went to bed not too long ago, and they need their sleep."
"Can you tell Ma that I'm sorry?"
"Of course, but maybe you can apologize to her in the morning," he patted Tommy's leg. "Thanks for not leaving him alone Kent."
"I feel like I should be looking out for him while Frost is in the hospital."
Tommy nodded, "Kent boy here thinks that it's his fault Barry got hurt."
"I do feel sort of responsible, I know I shouldn't because I didn't make that building collapse."
"None of this in either of your faults, shit just happens. You boys get some rest, see you in the morning," he gave a nod before joining Angela in their bedroom. "I'm sorry about all of that."
Angela sighed, "I didn't want to have to worry about Tommy."
"I know," Korsak slipped into bed next to her. "I know he said he was going to be okay, but he's probably going through the most pain. Maybe he needs to join us on our aquarium outing."
She shrugged, "Perhaps, I'm sure Todd would enjoy Tommy hanging out with him. I just hope this Tommy confiding in alcohol will be the new normal."
"The last time Tommy got drunk, I'm sure he would have learned his lesson. At least we need to be thankful that Frost is alive at least, can you imagine?"
"I'd rather not think about that," Angela rested her head on her pillow. "Good night Vince."
"Good night Angela," Korsak sighed, shutting off their light hoping that things would be better in the morning.
"Kent, I really owe you one," Tommy smiled at the man as Kent laid a blanket over his body.
"I just want to help, I care about Frost, just like I care about you. I'm a very caring guy."
"You definitely are, and don't forget that you care about my brother."
"I would say I'm more worried about him than caring for him. He sort of just disappeared."
"Well I just hope he's alright, would hate for something to go wrong with him," Tommy closed his eyes for a moment. "Remember what we seen at the Dirty Robber before we left with Crowe and Gwen, I think that we should keep that a secret from Frankie."
Kent nodded his head in agreement, "It was quite a shock, and he definitely doesn't need any more shock in his life right now. That would destroy him."
"Not to mention, push him into whatever he's secretly feeling for my fiancé still. You sure you don't want to date my brother?"
"Tommy, I don't know how many times that I need to tell you that I'm straight."
He opened his eyes to look at Kent, "Jane has been straight forever, her and Maura sort of just happened and it was kind of a good thing, they bring out the best in each other, that's true love. Just like me and Frostie. Things happen and I know you're not being truly honest with yourself. It's kind of a intense feeling of joy when you find your perfect mate. No matter the gender, connection is the best. Just keep that in mind," he smiled. "You're a great catch and Frankie would be pretty stupid to not want you."
"If I didn't know any better I'd think you were hitting on me Tommy," Kent chuckled and Tommy frowned not finding his joke funny.
"Well that's just stupid of you Kent, I wouldn't hit on someone, not when I'm hurt the love of my life is in the hospital. This isn't some soap opera shit."
Kent sighed, "Okay I'm sorry, I shouldn't make jokes, but it just sounded like..."
"Keep dreaming buddy," Tommy rolled his eyes. "I'm going to go to sleep now, Kent Drake. See you in the morning."
"Yeah, see you in the morning. I don't have a thing for you, just thought I needed to make that clear to you."
"I know you don't, you like Frankie," he chuckled before closing his eyes and passing out.
Kent shook his head going to sit in the recliner, he decided that it was a comfy enough place to want to sleep on. He didn't like Frankie, he couldn't like Frankie.
Maura woke up the next morning in Jane's arms. They were pretty exhausted after all that walking they did yesterday and now they'd be off heading to Chicago for a small stop before they headed to go see Mount Rushmore. It would take about two days to get there with the stops and everything, just thinking about it made Maura exhausted.
She sighed, she would let Jane sleep a little longer before waking her up. If anyone needed to rest it was her pregnant wife, she kissed Jane's shoulder before slipping out of the bed. Maura laughed hearing Jane grumble in her sleep. Maura took thirty minutes to pack up all their belongs, Jane was still sleeping so Maura went to go put everything into the car.
Jane woke up, stretching, she frowned once she realized Maura wasn't in the room. "Where the hell did she go?" She huffed going to use the bathroom, she washed her face to wake up a little bit more. She exited the bathroom when the hotel room door opened, slightly startling Jane. "Shit Maura, you trying to give me a heart attack?"
"Um no, just thought I could take care of loading up the car to give you some more rest. I come bearing gifts of tea and a bagel, just for you," Maura smiled and Jane nodded, grabbing the items out of Maura's hands.
"Thanks, you could have woken me up I would have been fine, better than waking up and you gone with our bags."
"You really think I'd abandoned you in Niagara Falls."
Jane took a bite out of her bagel, "No, someone could have came in and took you and our stuff, I was that tired they probably wouldn't have noticed me."
"You really thought someone would just randomly come in here and steal me and our belongings?"
"Have you not seen that movie Taken?"
"Yes I've seen that movie, don't you think that's a little extreme?"
Jane shrugged, "It could have happened."
"Whatever you say sweetie," Maura kissed her head and went to the bathroom.
Jane rolled her eyes, finishing off her bagel and tea before Maura came out of the bathroom. "Ready to get on the road? Chicago pizza is calling our name."
"Ready to continue our adventure across the states with my lovely, yet slightly paranoid wife. Of course I am."
"You're such a smart ass," Jane smirked.
"Takes one to know one," Maura gave Jane a nudge.
"Really, that's your comeback?"
When they got into their car after checking out of the hotel Jane pulled out her cell phone. She wanted to check in on everyone back home, she dialed Korsak's number after her mother didn't pick up. He picked up on the first ring. "Hey Vince."
"Well good morning Jane, surprised you're not too distracted with your wife and able to give me a call."
"Yeah well, I didn't really get to talk to you since your visit the other morning. Are the twins doing alright?"
"They're fine, a little sad by the whole Frost thing, but me and your mother are going to take them out to the aquarium. We'll be extra careful with Todd."
"Of course I trust you and Ma, Tommy on the other hand, I'm not sure I trust his judgement at the moment."
"Since you said that, there was sort of an incident last night concerning Tommy. He stayed over at our house because he was drunk off his ass, Kent brought him over."
"I told that boy to be careful."
"He didn't want to be at his house all alone, I'm sort of glad that Kent brought him to us. He was a mess, Todd was worried about him all day yesterday. Hardly enjoyed the get well cake me and Kate made for him."
"Todd not enjoying cake, that's very odd."
"This whole thing is really affecting him, it really sucks seeing him like this."
"Well I'm sure him getting out will cheer him up, even just for a little bit. Thanks for helping out with the twins, it really means a lot."
"It's honestly not a problem at all."
"So I heard about everyone except Frankie, how has he been doing?"
"I honestly have no idea, Kent mentioned seeing him distraught and distracted at the recent crime scene. That's about all I know. He hasn't been answering anyone's phone calls, maybe you should try reaching out to him."
"I think I will do that. You guys enjoy your trip to the aquarium. I'll call you guys later."
"One more thing Jane, your mother told me about your positive pregnancy test. I wanted to give you a congratulations, you've worked really hard to make this happen."
"Thanks, maybe you can convince Ma to not make a huge deal out of it."
"Um yeah... I don't think that's going to happen. I sort of agreed with your mother."
"Korsak! Why would you do such a thing?"
"Oh sorry Jane, can't talk anymore, Julian is crying, bye," he spoke quickly and hung up.
Jane groaned, "Jackass."
Maura turned to look at her wife, "Is everything alright?"
"Yeah, things could be better. Korsak just agrees with my mother that my pregnancy needs to be this huge celebration, isn't that what baby showers are for? Nobody seems to be able to get in touch with Frankie, Korsak thinks maybe I'd have a better chance at getting in touch with him. I hope he's alright, Tommy was already drunk off of his ass according to Korsak," Jane shook her head, her brothers were an absolute mess. She sighed and dialed Frankie's phone, waiting for it to go off. Frankie picked up the phone, or Jane thought it would be Frankie's voice she would be hearing.
"Frankie Rizzoli's phone, Lydia Martin speaking."
"Lydia, what the hell are you doing answering my brother's phone?" Jane asked and Maura was surprised.
"Lydia?" she mouthed and Jane nodded with a frown, putting the phone on speaker.
"He needed a friend last night, called me because he said I'm probably the only one who wouldn't judge him. He's in the shower, people kept on calling figured I should pick it up since it was your name that popped up this time. Was that wrong of me?"
"No, that's fine..." Jane sighed. "Everyone was worried about him. So is he doing okay?"
"Yeah, we had a nice long talk about things, nothing more than talking happened."
"Why do I not believe that? You two slept together before. I remember."
"It wasn't like that Jane, I promise, he can tell you himself. Here he comes now," Lydia mentioned. "Frankie, it's Jane on the phone for you."
"Jane, why are you calling?" Frankie asked. Lydia was heard in the background mentioning that she should probably get going. "Bye Lydia."
"What the hell was that all about? Why would you bring that blonde bimbo into your apartment?"
"Hey, don't sound so upset. And anyways she came to me, she told me some quite interesting shit about what went on at the Dirty Robber. Tommy getting drunk with Kent..." he paused before sighing. "Crowe and Gwen hanging out."
"Wait, really?"
"Yeah, not just hanging out either. I have no clue why Lydia felt the need to tell me."
"Probably to get you upset enough to want to have sex with her."
"Or she could have just been concerned Jane," Maura spoke up.
"Maura, no offense but we all know how Lydia is, yes she saved your life somewhat with Pop but Lydia is psychotic. I couldn't exactly kick her out of my apartment, so I let her sleep on the couch."
Jane sighed, her brother was too nice sometimes, "So absolutely nothing went on with you two?"
"Of course not Janie, that one time thing I had with her I told you it was only one time and I kept my word. Was I upset hearing Crowe and Gwen making out at the Robber of course, but not enough to want to make another mistake with Lydia. Plus she has the hots for Kent anyways. God she wouldn't stop talking about him, it was kind of irritating if I'm being honest."
"Well I'm sorry to hear about Gwen and Crowe, that's sort of disturbing if you think about it. I already didn't like Crowe for you but this is worse."
"If Crowe wants to move on that's fine, I'm the one who pushed him away, I just didn't think I'd push him into the arms of my ex girlfriend. It's really bizarre."
"I'll say... so how have you been doing since Frost ended up in the hospital?"
"Honestly Jane, I'm a mess. I never thought Frost getting hurt would be so upsetting and painful. It definitely brought up confusing feelings..."
"God, not this again," Jane grumbled, rolling her eyes.
"No, not this again Janie. I had a lot of time to think about it... I just don't want to lose him, that's pretty normal it just hurts and I was only confused for a few hours. I just miss being able to really talk to my best friend is all."
"And you're absolutely positive?"
"Yes Jane, I can't do that to Tommy, you should see how distraught he is."
"I think you need to get some sort of therapy. It might help you in the long run."
"Jane's right you know. Cailin had been getting therapy and she's been doing so much better. It's amazing the progress she made. And she's no longer pining over my wife, so that's a good sign."
"Really Maur, she told you that?"
"Lauren did actually."
"Oh well thank God. Glad that's over."
"Um you guys, I'm still here. Something else happened, actually the day the car garage collapsed," Frankie interrupted the girl's conversation. "Kent kissed me."
Jane almost dropped the phone at Frankie's words. "Wait, Kent did what?"
"Yeah I was worried, ranting slightly when he just kissed me. He apologized it for later on, it was odd, just like Kent. But it's weird Janie, it felt comforting and I sort of liked it."
"Seriously? You are really confused, aren't you?"
"Well to be honest thinking about Kent has gotten my mind off of Frost. He may be odd but he really wants to help out with whatever he can. I think I was holding back on Darren because I knew it probably couldn't work out especially how he can be such an asshole sometimes."
"You can say that again. Well maybe Kent can help you out," Jane suggested, anything to get him away from thoughts of Frost so Tommy would have nothing more to worry about.
"Kent's a really nice person Frankie. He's such a gentle soul and it's pretty obvious that he would be an amazing mate," Maura mentioned.
"Yeah Maura just loves Kent Drake," Jane rolled her eyes and Maura frowned.
"I don't love Kent Jane."
"You could have fooled me Maura."
"Um, maybe I should go," Frankie coughed, clearly uncomfortable with their conversation.
"Are you going to be alright?" Jane asked her brother, focusing her attention on him.
"Yeah, no need to worry about me Jane, things are going to be okay after all this confusion goes away. Thanks for wanting to check up on me, it means a lot. Enjoy your trip."
"We will, bye Frankie," Jane hung up her phone and looked out of the window.
"Jane, are we going to talk about this?" Maura asked and Jane shook her head.
"Why would I want to talk about the little thing you have going on with Kent Drake."
"Jane, there's nothing going on with me and Kent."
"You said he'd be an amazing mate, that means something."
Maura focused her attention on the road, "I seriously can't believe you right now Jane, I meant he'd be an amazing mate for Frankie. I'm just trying to help out your brother so he can be happy. Would I honestly like Kent if I'm being supportive of him and Frankie?"
Jane sighed, shaking her head, "No I guess not, I just, sometimes the way you talk about him hurts. Just like I know the way Cailin felt about me hurt the hell out of you, you even thought I had a thing for her."
"Well that's just because you kept her confession a secret from me. I told Kent right away about you, would I have done that if I had other intentions in mind with him?"
"No, you wouldn't have. Maura, I'm sorry."
"You're having doubts and insecurities. It happens to the best of us. But I swear to you there is nothing going on, and there never will be."
"You didn't say you forgive me," Jane looked at Maura with a pout.
"You accused me of something going on with him and I, you owe me more than just an I'm sorry. I'm sure you'll think of something," Maura patted Jane's leg before fully focusing on the road ahead. Jane sighed, leaning her head back against the window, closing her eyes. Jane felt bad about her accusation, she knew Maura didn't like Kent in that way, but sometimes it felt like he was better for Maura than she was, something Jane really didn't want to admit.
Frankie made it to work heading into the bullpen heading straight for his desk. Crowe was the only other person in the room besides him doing something on his computer before he noticed Frankie.
"Morning Frankie," he greeted him before focusing his attention back on his computer.
"Uh huh, morning Darren."
Crowe looked up with a frown on his face, "What's with the attitude?"
"Oh I don't know your little night escapade with my ex girlfriend," Frankie said nonchalantly.
"How'd you hear about that?"
"Lydia told me last night. Have you lost your mind? I thought you didn't like Gwen and what she did to me."
"Frankie, calm down, sometimes things happen. She's actually pretty alright. We were both concerned about you and your mixed emotions."
"So concerned, yeah I bet."
"We were, but we both were also tired of waiting for you to get things straightened out. Plus you said I could move on and be happy with someone else. I'm sorry that someone else turned out to be Gwen, but there was just this connection and I don't know... I kind of like her. I thought you'd be supportive of me."
"I am supportive, it's just odd and strange to think about both of my exes together. One who I was married to, albeit a short amount of time."
"I would hardly call that a marriage Frankie. Hence it being annulled, so it's like it never happened. I won't throw being with Gwen in your face if that's what you're concerned about. We're not even really a thing right now, but still. I won't be a jerk to you, we can both be very professional."
Frankie nodded, "Fine, sorry for getting upset I just was hoping what Lydia saw wasn't true. Knowing it really is, just kind of bugs me. I have no excuse to be acting this way. Kind of hurts when you mention it though." He pushed himself from his desk, heading down to autopsy, moreso Maura's office where he knew Kent might be. He was correct at Kent's whereabouts. He knocked gently on the open door causing Kent to look up.
"Hey Frankie, what brings you down here to autopsy?"
"Seeing if you have something for me on my current case."
"Not anything worth mentioning," Kent shook his head. "You know you could have just called to ask if there were any updates."
Frankie nodded, "You're right, my apologies. Anyways, I know you mentioned going to the hospital to visit Frost after you got out of work yesterday, how did it go?"
"I only stayed for a minute, Tommy was there and we decided to go to the Dirty Robber for drinks and to discuss suing the company who put Frost into a coma. Then he got a little too drunk and we stayed at Korsak and your mother's he took the couch and I took the recliner. Your brother is a mess."
"You say that like I don't already know. But he's a less mess than me these days, in general anyways. Now with Frost in the hospital I already knew Tommy would do stupid things like get drunk. At least he's being responsible and trying to make the company pay for their mistakes and get them for causing damage to both Frost and Todd. Thanks for looking out for my brother though, it's really nice of you. Why do you have to be so nice?"
"It's how I was raised Frankie, that's the kind of person I am. I kind of care about your family, they are a really nice bunch. Kind of reminds me of my family back home in Scotland."
"Really?" Frankie asked in surprise, he found it a little hard to believe that Kent actually liked his family.
"Yeah," Kent smiled warmly. "I should get back to work though, it's always a pleasure talking to you. I know you've been going through stuff and I'm here for you, whatever you need."
"Thanks, it means a lot to me Kent," Frankie smiled back, turning on his heel.
"Frankie..."
Frankie stopped and turned to face Kent. "Yeah?"
"Did you figure out those feelings for Frost?"
"I um... yeah I think so. I was just confused about why I felt so strongly about Frost getting hurt. He means a lot to me, as a friend and I know how much Tommy means to him and I can't get in the way of that, I don't even want to."
"Well that's good, you being able to figure things out, clear your head and all that."
"Yeah, so was there anything else?"
"No, not really. Just checking up on things we discussed before."
Frankie nodded, Kent focused his attention back on the computer. "Kent, maybe we can discuss more things over dinner, or a beer or something."
"What kind of things?"
"I don't know, we're always talking about me or Tommy or Frost, we never really talk about you."
"You want to get to know me?"
Frankie shrugged, "Yeah if you want, we don't have to or anything, if you'd rather not..."
"No, that sounds like a nice idea. It's a date..." his cheeks flushed at his own words. "No I didn't mean to call it a date, just a hang out."
"No take backs Kent, you already called it a date," Frankie smirked and left the room to head back upstairs.
Kent leaned back in his chair running his fingers through his hair, a smile on his face.
The whole eight hour trip to Chicago was pretty tense, Jane and Maura only talked when they needed a restroom break or something to eat or when they switched shifts in driving. They were now sitting in a restaurant with Chicago's finest deep dish pizza, at least that's what the sign on the window next to the door said.
Jane ordered a Hawaiian pizza personal pan pizza and Maura ordered a veggie pizza.
"So I was thinking we could continue driving until we got to a rest area and just stay there to sleep for a bit," Jane suggested as she drank her lemon water.
"Wouldn't you rather find a hotel and stay the night?"
"My backseat goes back and makes a pretty good space for a makeshift bed. We don't need to go to a hotel every night, especially when we are just passing by. Plus there's less hassle."
"You sure that would be comfortable enough for you? Your comfort is very important. So whatever you think is best," Maura looked down at her plate.
"Well thanks, I want you to be comfortable too though," Jane reached over to take Maura's hand. "Your opinion matters too."
"Well that's nice of you to say."
"It's nice to feel important like someone caring about what you have to say. You sure you're okay with us just sleeping in the car for a couple of hours?"
Maura nodded, "Yeah that's okay, slumming it is nice sometimes."
Jane smiled, "Well I'm glad you want to slum itl with me at a Illinois rest stop."
"I'd slum it with you anywhere Jane, you know that," Maura reached over to take her hand.
They finished their dinner in a comfortable silence, not as tense as their car ride to this destination.
Soon they were back on the road, Jane was driving this time, Maura held onto Jane's hand as she drove. Jane was glad for the warm welcoming contact. The trip went on for about two hours before they came to a rest area. Jane pulled into a spot, they walked together to the building to use the bathroom before going to start getting the backseat all situated.
Maura stopped Jane as she grabbed a blanket from the back, "Jane before we go to sleep it's a real clear night out, there's a nice grassy spot to enjoy the stars."
Jane loved Maura's idea, she locked the car and they went to the grassy spot Maura pointed out and laid the blanket. They both went to lay down, Jane placing her hands behind her head, Maura rested her hands on her stomach. "This was a great idea Maura, it's so nice and quiet out."
"I come up with pretty good ideas sometimes."
Jane nodded, the moonlight was hitting Maura at the perfect angle. "You look so gorgeous in the moonlight Maur."
"Thanks Jane, you are just as gorgeous."
"Uh uh, I beg to differ."
"We can just agree to disagree," Maura shifted over to rest her head on Jane's chest. "Did you want to talk about our conversation from earlier?"
Jane rubbed Maura's arm, "Did you mind if we talked about it later? Maybe in the morning when I'm more awake, I feel like I can fall asleep in no time, it's amazing out here."
"Yeah nature can be so beautiful when you're able to enjoy it," Maura whispered, closing her eyes.
"I could stay out here all night."
"Why don't we?" Maura asked, glancing up at her.
"Well I'm not sure how good of an idea that would be, we don't want to wake up to some dog or any kind of animal staring at us."
"I suppose that you're right, but let's just enjoy it for a few more minutes."
Jane smiled, kissing the top of her head, "Of course babe, just a little while longer."
What a sweet Rizzles moment at the end, even though things were a little tense previously between our ladies. Jane will explain to Maura why she got the way she did with her self doubts and everything. Jane doesn't need them though because she's pretty amazing, don't you agree? I really enjoyed writing this beginning with much needed Korsangela cuteness and the drunk Tommy and Kent was a joy to write. And our Frankie boy is slowly getting his shit together. I sort of think Kent and Frankie are cute, hence why things are seeming to head in that direction. And what about that Crowe/Gwen situation, eh? Frankie seems to be taking it sort of well.
