Thank you for that.

Normally physical is something i write off as common visuals in a cartoon, but it just seemed so much painful when Frankie was climbing up the hill. Maybe it was the blood which I have to say, I am VERY very surprised they showed that.
Be it gushing or small drops, the fact a non violent show like Foster's actually had that kind of, if you pardon the pun, "flesh" to it's visuals was very surprising. I also was upset that this continued the whole bad public image thing.
Here, Frankie was chewed up by everyone and their mother in town. Mac and the others did have their own crap to pull with, except Frankie will still probably end up getting stuck with doctor bills, damage fees and other stuff like that.
In a way though I also admire Frankie, most people would quit any job after going through a day like that. I didn't hate this episode, as I said i really did have fun watching it, it's one of those "turn off your brain" mindless fun episodes.
I just can't help feeling for Frankie though, must be my nature.

Your nature and mine, dude. I hadn't thought about the "public image" aspect of the whole thing, but it's a good point. Things like the events here and in
Store Wars, for example, can add up in people's minds and give her an undeserved reputation as a public nuisance.
The scene on the hill was painful, yes, but on the other hand it showed her determined nature and fighting spirit, an "I'm getting to the top and nothing's going to stop me" attitude. And despite being battered and bruised she
did make it to the top, which may be a small victory but it's a victory nonetheless and a reason to smile.
