Frank’s storyline offers a darker, more cynical take on the "rite of passage" theme. Having lost his housing after Sheila’s departure, he infiltrates the lives of Wade and Laura Shelton, the grieving parents of his liver donor. Frank shamelessly exploits their mourning, even wearing their deceased son’s clothes to play catch with the father. This manipulation leads to a brief affair with the mother and nearly costs him his life when an irate Sammi tracks him down. Lip and the Struggle for Escape
