Please don't post SPOILERS in the comments sections. Thanks! Near the nurses' station, Frisco called Felicia, but her voicemail picked up. "Who are you talking to?" Maxie asked as she suddenly appeared. Frisco quickly ended the call and claimed that he had been working on a project. He deftly changed the subject by asking how Maxie felt. Frisco wondered if she had heard from Britt. Maxie assured him that Britt hadn't made a peep since Frisco had had a talk with her. Maxie confessed that she felt terrible about the horrible "trick" that Britt had forced her to play on Sabrina. However, Maxie warned her father that there wasn't any guarantee that Britt would keep quiet about the baby being Maxie and Spinelli's child. Just then, Spinelli appeared. Spinelli had stopped to meet Maxie's legendary father, so Maxie made the introductions. Frisco's temper flared when he realized that Spinelli had been the one to break Maxie's heart. Spinelli accused Frisco of being a hypocrite for acting like a concerned father when Frisco had abandoned his daughters at a very young age. Maxie quickly intervened and warned her father to leave Spinelli alone. After Spinelli left, Frisco looked at Spinelli with disdain as he growled, "That's the father of my grandchild?" Maxie defended Spinelli, but Frisco became distracted when he spotted Britt. Maxie noticed that Britt was on crutches, so she immediately suspected that her father had had something to do with Britt's accident, but decided to walk away rather than find out if her suspicions were warranted. Frisco approached Britt and greeted her. Britt immediately accused him of causing her to fall. Frisco offered her a saccharine smile as he reminded her that accidents happened. Britt argued that she had left Maxie alone, so they were done. "It's over when I say so, Toots," Frisco warned her. Britt demanded to know what he wanted, so Frisco reminded her of Sabrina. Britt told Frisco that the board had cleared Sabrina, but Frisco refused to leave Britt alone until he was certain that she wouldn't tell anyone about Maxie's baby. Britt assured him that he had her word that she wouldn't say anything, but Frisco wasn't satisfied. She wondered what else she could do to make him believe her. He promised to let her know and left. A short distance away, Patrick watched Frisco walk away. At the Floating Rib, Mac ogled Felicia as she stood on a ladder and cleaned a top shelf. Mac helped Felicia down from the ladder and kissed her as Duke strolled into the bar. Mac warmly greeted Duke as Felicia's phone rang. Mac picked up the cleaning supplies and carried them to the basement while Felicia offered to fix Duke a drink Duke said nothing was simple about working at ELQ. He was grateful for the job, but it wasn't without its complications. As if on cue, Duke's phone rang. "Chief among them being Tracy Quartermaine," Duke added. Duke conceded that he had always associated the Quartermaines with "Darling Lila" rather than "Deadly Tracy." Duke asked about the wrong number that she'd had earlier. Felicia admitted that it had been Frisco. Duke had heard that Frisco was back in town and had intended to call his old friend. Felicia encouraged Duke to spend some time catching up with Frisco and even go away for a short trip. Duke chuckled because he sensed that she had mixed emotions about Frisco. Duke reminded Felicia that he had only recently learned that Felicia and Frisco had been estranged, but she insisted that it had been more than that because she was committed to Mac. Felicia confided that Frisco believed that what she and Frisco had shared had been beyond compare. "Does it compare?" Duke wondered because he empathized with Frisco. Felicia argued that Frisco had left his family by choice, unlike Duke. Felicia regretted all of the things that she had sacrificed for Frisco and was grateful that Mac had given her a second chance and an opportunity to repair her relationship with Maxie. Duke thought that it sounded like she had her answer, so he advised Felicia to tell Frisco in no uncertain terms that it was over. "Unless it isn't," Duke added. Frisco entered the bar. Duke and Frisco exchanged warm greetings. Frisco smiled as he admitted that it seemed as if nothing had changed. Felicia looked past Frisco as Mac returned. Duke explained that he had to attend to some business that couldn't wait. After Duke left, Mac was curious why Frisco was there. "Felicia," Frisco answered and then asked if Felicia had received his message. Mac decided to give them some privacy, so he left. Felicia scowled at Frisco as she asked him what the message had said. Frisco told her to listen to it and then to meet him later that evening at Metro Court. He asked her to dress up and to wear some of the Aztec jewels from the treasure that they had found together. Felicia thought about their adventure as Frisco left, unaware that Mac had been eavesdropping in the next room.
