Frankie runs into Jake at BJ's and vents to him about Fletcher and Randi. Jake thinks Frankie should tell Randi everything but he thinks, because of the job possibilities at Fusion, that he shouldn't because it might undermine her confidence. He can't imagine why she is so under Fletcher's spell and says he even offered to set her up in Miami. Jake says that was a huge mistake. Frankie refuses to tell Randi and doesn't want to tell Jesse, either. Jake says he has to figure out why Fletcher has a hold on her and from there he can help her recover. Slightly annoyed at all of Jake's advice, Frankie asks how he got to be such an expert. Jake brings up Emily Ann and says Randi is in a dark world. Frankie isn't sure how to protect her without making her depend on him the same way she depends on Fletcher. "Be her constant," Jake advises. He decides giving Randi space is his only option. Randi arrives as Jake leaves. She tells Frankie that she will dream of him, kisses him and walks out.
The two thugs haul Frankie to a truck outside where Fletcher is waiting! He holds a gun on Frankie and makes him listen as he calls Randi and lets her go. Fletcher tries to manipulate her by saying he is letting her go only because he knows she will come back to him and hangs up. He tells Frankie that he will always have a hold on Randi and says Frankie needs to back off or Randi might disappear forever! He gives Frankie a paper and says he can buy Randi from him - for five times her annual salary! He says if Frankie doesn't pay, then Randi will.
At ConFusion, Randi hangs up the phone and gets worried. She waits for Frankie for a while but he doesn't show up. Jake arrives for lunch with Joe but sees Randi and joins her. She tells him about looking for a new job. Amanda arrives, sees Jake with Randi and gets annoyed. She joins them. Jake introduces the women and when he says she is a friend of Frankie's, Amanda relaxes. Joe calls to cancel lunch so Amanda and Randi talk makeup. Amanda invites Jake to lunch but he says he has to go. Randi asks Amanda about work at Fusion and Amanda mentions they are hiring. Randi is very excited and says she'd love the chance. Amanda promises that she is in the running for the job and goes back upstairs. Frankie arrives for their lunch date. Randi excitedly hugs him and says her life is finally getting back on track! She tells him about Fletcher's call and the job offer; Frankie's distraction bothers her. He blames it on Cassandra and asks her about the job. She fills him in; as she talks, Frankie goes over his conversation with Fletcher. She tells him to come clean about what is going on. He tells her to weigh all of her job offers and then offers to give her money to make a fresh start in another town! Randi is crushed and storms off. Frankie stops her and says he isn't trying to get rid of her but she doesn't believe him. Frankie says he doesn't want her to go and is about to kiss her when she pulls away, saying he is just like Fletcher! She walks away. After she is gone, Frankie calls Fletcher to agree to the pay-off! Fletcher gives him a week to come up with the cash.
Angie comes into the kitchen, telling Frankie that Cass is still sleeping. They talk about her problems, wondering how they can help. Frankie says Cass will be fine because Dre is a good guy. He brings up his date with Randi. Although she is disappointed, Angie admits that Frankie is old enough to make his own decisions. Just then, Jill arrives! Angie apologizes and says she completely forgot about dinner. Jill asks about Cassandra and then leaves. Angie tells Frankie to let her have it but he doesn't go off on her. Instead, he quietly says he is capable of making his own relationship decisions. Angie says he can't predict what Fletcher will do. He promises to take care of himself and leaves for work. In the hall, two thugs attack Frankie!
At the admit desk, Jake questions Frankie about Cass, Colby and Dre. Frankie doesn't have any more news but says he wants to hurry home to talk to Cass. Jake wishes him luck and then leaves for a run. Frankie finishes some paperwork and then Randi arrives! She says she heard about Cassandra's arrest and wanted to be here for him. They talk in the waiting area. Randi says Cass will be fine thanks to him, their mom and dad. "Strong family," she says. Frankie asks her to dinner and she agrees.
Jake is at BJ's when Frankie walks in, late. Jake sees his hands and asks what happened. Frankie tells him about the run-in with Fletcher. Jake tells him about Emily Ann and warns Frankie to be wary of Randi! Just then, Randi walks in. As they watch, Randi asks the waitress if she can see the manager about a job. Frankie believes this is a good thing. The manager comes to Randi. She admits she doesn't have real waitress experience. Frankie tells Jake that the manager is way off base to question Randi this way! Randi swears she'll work hard but doesn't have references so the manager turns her down! Frankie is ready to rush to Randi's defense but Jake stops him. He says there are times when hanging back is the best move. Randi leaves but Jake still won't let Frankie go. He convinces Frankie to hang back and call Randi later on. Frankie likes the idea.
Jesse finds Frankie at the hospital, grabs his hand and says, "That oath is 'First, Do No Harm'!" He asks about the wounds on his hands and demands to know why Frankie jumped Fletcher. Frankie says he was protecting Cassandra; Jesse tells him that man following Cassandra was a police officer - not Fletcher! Frankie still isn't upset that he beat up the wrong man. Jesse warns him that he is in danger of losing everything for no reason. Frankie says Randi is a very big reason. Jesse threatens to arrest him! Frankie tells him to get out and go do his job. Jesse points out that he may have made things worse for Randi. "Then, I'll have to kill him!" Frankie says. Another doctor walks in to tell Frankie about a new patient. Frankie sends him away and then tells Jesse he won't stop protecting Randi. Jesse sits Frankie down and tells him to forget about Fletcher but Frankie can't. He accuses Jesse of running out on the family and leaves for his rounds.
At Randi's, Frankie tells Randi that he beat up Fletcher because he was endangering Cassandra. He goes to wash the blood off his hands. Randi calls another prostitute who says Fletcher is being taken to the hospital. She is relieved, which upsets Frankie. She angrily says she is relieved because she doesn't want him going to jail because of Fletcher! Randi comes on to Frankie, kissing his hands and placing his hands on her body! She starts to undress and Frankie stops her. He says she doesn't owe him anything - and when they do make love, it will be because they both want it and not because she feels like she owes him. He leaves.
Frankie swears to Angie that he'll take care of Fletcher. Angie warns him not to do anything crazy. Frankie reminds Angie of her own history working with prostitutes and AIDS victims; Angie says Randi isn't the same as the women she helped. Then he brings up Jesse and compares him to Randi! She tells him again to be careful and leaves the apartment.
Frankie finds Fletcher at a bar and immediately begins beating him up! He tells Fletcher to stay away from Angie, from Cassandra and from Randi - or he'll kill him!
