First of all, let me say that its hard to update today's show and do it 

justice - so my apologies in advance.

*  Maggie  is still tormenting Nick
* Josie/Gary/Joe begin their investigation of the murder
* Morgan learns of Frankie's demise
* Cass clings to Frankies body at the morgue

Cass at Hospital Morgue

Cass clings to Frankie's body and tells her just how much he loves her.  

They both knew this day would come but not this soon and Cass was not 

suppose to be the one left behind.  Felicia comes in and tells Cass it is 

probably time that he leave.  He becomes aggressive and tells her no - 

I'm taking my wife home - I promised to take care of her.  He is finally 

convinced and tells Frankie he will always love her and kisses her lips 

with his fingers and blows the kiss upwards.

Maggie/Nick

Maggies demands to know where Nick spent their wedding night.  Nick yells 

back "you don't own me".  Mags wants Nick to at least give the marriage a 

change.  Most men would love the wife that was carrying their child - 

Nick agrees with this point - but Maggie I don't l-o-v-e you!  Later 

Maggie and Nick are at Carlinos visiting Paulina and Dante when Rachel 

comes in to tell them the news.  Maggie wants to go to Cass but figures 

she shouldn't because of how she treated Franked.  Rachel scolds her and 

tells her that this is NOT about you Maggie - my main concern here is 

Cass and Charlie but you are welcome to come back to Cass' with Paulina 

and I.

Morgan/Lorna

Lorna is the one who has to break the news to Morgan at the hospital.  He 

is in shock - wants to know how it happened.  Lorna tells him that Gabe 

said she tried to fight the attacker off.  Morgan starts to realize that 

- first Courtney now Frankie - it finally hits him what has happened - it 

is REAL - he looks as though his breath has been knocked out of him.  His 

first thought is of Cass and Charlie - he's upset because Charlie and 

Frankie were also best friends.  Lorna drives him over to Cass' - he's in 

no shape to get behind the wheel.

Joe/Gary/Josie

Gary tries to comfort Josie at the site when she questions why the 

senseless killing of her cousin.  Gabe wants Josie off the case - she's 

too close but Gary steps in and tells Gabe that Josie wants to get this 

guy more than anyone and she should be allowed to continue.  He agrees 

and Gary and Josie head over to the house. They meet Donna at the door 

and Josie, in tears, tells Donna that if she hadn't been so busy 

investigating Donna, she may have already caught this guy.  Donna tells 

her that Frankie would hever want her to think that way - it wasn't 

Josie's fault.  Gary and Josie want to talk to Rachel about the bridal 

shower so the rest of them usher Charlie out of hearing distance.  Rachel 

tells them nothing out of the ordinary happened but reflects on how 

Frankie spoke of her good-luck chain.  Josie/Gary are shocked and again 

Josie blames herself for leaving too early.  Gary tells her no - she was 

only following up on a lead - she had no idea what was about to happen.  

They find out that the chain has been linked to Felicia/Lorna/Vicki and 

Frankie and Gary states that now the stalker has what he wants - the chain.

Back at their apartment Josie rifles thro Blair's things and tells Gary 

she is going to get this guy - whatever it takes.  Gary - you do agree 

with me on this?  Gary turns to her with a loaded gun and tells her he 

will go after this guy - she can't use a weapon - they agree.  He tells 

her that this guy has killed a member of their family and this guy's 

meter has now expired.  Gary will handle it.

Cass/Charlie/rest of cast

Cass arrives at the house and tells everyone there that he has to go and 

tell Charlie the news - Frankie always insisited on the truth.  He starts 

towards the bedroom and faints.  When we comes to he looks around at 

everyone and remarks that everyone is here - everyone but Frankie and 

begins to sob.

He tells Charlie the news but what we the audience hear is voice overs 

from :

Rachel - how do we find victory in such a violent act
Maggie - after everything she did to Frankie, Frankie still welcomed her 

into the family - don't worry Frankie - Charlie will always have a sister
Paulina - reminisced about when she met Joe and Frankie was there
Vicki - If Ryan were still alive - maybe he could have found a way to 

save her.
Morgan - the Winthrop family had no faith in anything but money until 

Frankie cam along.  She rescued Cass for an empty life and she welcomed 

Morgan with open arms when no one else would.  She mended the rift 

between Morgan and Cass.  Don't worry Frankie, Charlie will never forget 

how much you loved her.
Felicia - remembered what a good friend Frankie was - she loved her 

laugh, her spirit and especially will remember the love Frankie had for 

her best friend.

Maggie enters the bedroom to talk to Cass and Morgan leaves them 

together.  Maggies seems to be strength for Cass at this moment in time.  

They talk about Frankie and Charlie - they hug - FREEZE FRAME
