   Summary

   With Doctor Robby’s requirements for Frank to return back to work, Mel offers to help keep an eye on him and make sure he’s staying sober. They get along and he clearly needs a friend. Mel just doesn’t realize: (1) how much is happening to him behind closed doors and (2) how much her “friendly” feelings transcend far beyond wanting to be “just friends.”
