Frank has learned some life lessons from watching the movies. His dad used to take him to R-rated movies even as a small child. He didn't trust babysitters. Once when he was 3 or 4 years old Frank saw a couple fornicating on the screen (it was a traumatizing memory). He remembers the man saying "It broke" and Frank asked his father what broke. "The condom", his father replied. "What's a condom?" Frank asked. "You use it when you have sex," his father answered, like Frank should have know that. His father decided then and there to explain the birds and the bees to him. Frank learned two things. First, his father treated him like an adult even though he was a child, and second, that condoms break. Meredith asks, "And how old were you when child protective services came and took you away?" "I just got out," Frank says. Frank's parents, Frank and Janet, are in the relationship seats. Meredith is sure they're proud of the man Frank has become.
