   Summary

   Frank has always been good at making terrible decisions for excellent reasons. Taking Empire Records’ $9,104 deposit to Atlantic City because he thinks he can save the store might be his finest work yet.

   He's also finally accepted that he might be hopelessly in love with his best friend’s brother — right as a washed-up, irritatingly hot rock star sets his sights firmly on Gerard.

   An MCR/Empire Records fusion in which Frank loses $9k, Gerard loses his mind, and Mikey's already lost all patience with both of them.
