Lightning Strike!

At his going away party, Frankie tries to celebrate with Taylor. Randi is there, though, and distracts him. She asks why he has to go as Taylor toasts to the unit being back together. Frankie gets distracted by his buddies and Taylor tells Randi to support Frankie or he'll die overseas! She says he has to be able to concentrate there, not worry about her. Randi leaves. Taylor returns to the crew and reports that Randi has gone. Frankie can't believe she left and tries to go but Taylor tells him to stay with the guys. The others go to get more drinks but Frankie takes Taylor aside and tells her to stop interfering. She says he has to face the fact that Randi doesn't want him to leave. Frankie doesn't care and says Taylor needs to leave Randi alone and accept the fact that he isn't just a soldier. She says he better be focused. Frankie says he can't be focused like her because he has a life. He brings up Brot and she yells at him to shut up. The guys from the platoon calm things down, saying they want to celebrate, not fight. Frankie leaves to find Randi and won't listen to Taylor when she tries to stop him. Taylor has another flashback to Iraq and drops her glass as she cries. One of the men tries talking to her but Taylor staggers away.

I've Done Horrible Things!

Frankie tells Randi that he is not going to let her bail out on everything she has going for her just so she can help him. She responds by telling him that her new life wouldn’t be possible if it wasn’t for him and begs him to let her keep him safe. Frankie tells her again that they are not running away! She says that she can’t just sit by and do nothing. He kisses her on the forehead and promises that he will be back safely.

This is the Way it has to be!

Angie comes home and tells Frankie that he can’t keep avoiding her. He tells her that he has to go back to Iraq, but she claims that she has a way to keep him out of it! He tells her that there is no way out and that he has to go back. Angie is convinced that someone is putting ideas in his head. When he tells her that he has been talking with Taylor, she becomes furious and tells him that if she has something to prove, then that is fine, but she needs to leave her son out of it! He reminds her that the both of them are soldiers and they have obligations. She insists that he did his part when he served, and now he is done. She pulls out some research information she’s compiled. She has a complete list of medical conditions that soldiers have that prevent them from returning to duty. He is insulted that she thinks he would even consider faking an injury! He then informs her that things have changed since that report was done. He tells her that soldiers are returning every day with serious medical conditions because they are stretched so thin over there. She continues to give her son options to keep him out of going back. She shows him pictures of a man who hired someone to shoot him in the leg, a man who ate until he was over the weight limit and 2 men that pretended to be gay. She breaks down and tells him that she will not have her son come home in a box. He tells her that this is the way that it has to be and that if he can save one life, then it will all be worth it. She cries and wants to know what to do if it is her baby who doesn’t come back? Frankie reminds his mother that every soldier is someone’s child. She knows that he doesn’t want to hurt his mother, but promises that if he does go back over there it will kill her! She agrees that it is certainly not fair, but she will do whatever she has to do to keep him safe. As he walks out she stresses that she will not lose her family!

Frankie arrives at Fusion to Randi. She demands to know why he didn’t tell her about Iraq. She tells him that he is not going and that there are ways out of it! He asks her to try and understand. She says that it will hurt his family and that he also needs to think what it would do to her. Frankie knows that he has legitimate reasons to stay, but that he can’t do it. Randi tells him that she will not let him go and that she would give everything up for him.

She says she is through waiting for another soldier to tell her that her son is dead. Crying, she says this is Jesse's fault because he returned to police work! She storms out. A while later, they bump into one another and Jesse offers his shoulder. She is much calmer now but still doesn't want Frankie to redeploy. She asks where he has been all day; Jesse thinks about the phone call he made and says they have to talk.

Frankie pulls her back to his side and says they can take as much time as she needs to feel comfortable. Taylor arrives. Frankie says Randi is doing fine. Taylor promises to look out for her if Frankie needs to go; he thanks her and kisses her cheek, saying she is a great friend. Taylor gets the shakes when she is alone.

At home, Angie and Jesse discuss Randi. Jesse says he knows how Randi feels about keeping her distance because he did the same thing for 20 years. He stops talking but she asks again about his past. He says he pulled away from everyone, but then one night he started walking on the streets. He saw a light and focused on it until he reached it. It was a glass lantern over a door; he went inside and broke down. He was hospitalized for a while; Angie asks why he didn't say anything. He says he was ashamed. She apologizes for pushing him about his past and caresses his face. He cries. Jesse leaves a while later and then Frankie gets home. Angie asks about Randi.
