At Jessica's next therapy session, Dr. Frank notices that she is looking "rough around the edges." Jessica anxiously explains that this is her first big case, and it turns out she has slept with both the victims. Dr. Frank urges her to share this information with her partner.
In the parking garage immediately following the session, Jessica drops her cell phone under her car and struggles to retrieve it. Jessica hears footsteps approaching behind her and draws her gun on Dr. Frank, whose car is parked right next to her.
That night, Jessica is going through her box of mementos when she decides to pay John a visit to ask about her father. John explains that Jessica's father loved her mother so much it "twisted' him, and mentions her numerous affairs before urging Jessica to concentrate on her case. |
With Jessica back in Dr. Frank's office, the residents of San Francisco can rest easy knowing they are safe from witnessing Jessica performing lewd acts against trees in public for at least the duration of her therapy session. Dr. Frank, on the other hand, never knows what might happen next, down to whether or not Jessica's tongue will stay in her mouth or extend forth to lick her lips in a particularly threatening way.
No longer able to pretend that she feels "fantastic," Jessica is even less equipped to avoid the pains of self-discovery thanks to her assignment to the aptly named "Dr. Frank." Without a doubt, Jessica had been crossing her fingers to get assigned to Dr. E. Nigma (formerly known for his public efforts to thwart the Batman ).
Even Dr. Frank has his limits, however, and Jessica's revelation that her vagina is the only link between multiple victims of a serial killer leaves him with no choice but to urge Jessica to share this information with her partner, presumably so her partner can arrest Jessica immediately. Having none of it, Jessica appears to abandon her therapy session at this exact moment, with the viewer still able to hear Dr. Frank's echoing advice ("What if you're in danger?") as she exits the building.
Unfortunately, Dr. Frank's dire warning proves fruitful, as Jessica is indeed in danger. First of all, she is dangerously klutzy, fumbling and dropping her cell phone to the ground before somehow kicking it all the way underneath her car. Next, Jessica faces the unspeakable danger of a small mouse on the ground who might prank call every number in her cell phone if allowed to reach it first. How else to explain Jessica's tongue-extending strain to reach for the phone instead of pulling out her car and picking it up off the ground?
On the other hand, perhaps it is more useful to consider the danger faced by Dr. Frank when his mentally unstable alcoholic patient, who is crawling on the ground with her tongue hanging out, draws a loaded gun and points it in his face. Certainly, staring down the barrel of a gun is a profoundly disturbing event, and we can only admire Dr. Frank's composure as he faces not only Jessica's firearm, but the dangerous awkwardness of bumping into a patient in the parking lot. |
