Foster's writer and fiancée of creator/director McCracken, Lauren Faust, did a brilliant job writing this Frankie-centric episode. Do not leave your seats, people!

"Superb"
Here, we have an episode that focuses primarily on Frankie. She, Mac, and Bloo are the only main characters that appear on "Frankie My Dear", and things were executed quite well. Things begin with Frankie chatting with one of her human friends (named Cathy) via telephone, and she felt bummed that she couldn't go anywhere. Herriman had her filing the paperwork, instead. Mac said that he would offer to do them, and that it wasn't a problem...saying the he does his mother's bank statements all the time. Frankie was full of joy, and she gave Mac a kiss on the cheek. Mac felt like he was in another world.
While still feeling like a cupid's arrow had striked him, Mac was still trying to do the filing. Bloo was wondering what's going on. Mac was saying how Frankie was the greatest, and Bloo responded by revealing a few things about her that were negative. Moments later, Frankie came downstairs to reveal a pink outfit. Mac and Bloo were stammering, while looking at her. Before walking out the door, Frankie blew a kiss at Mac, however, Bloo caught it with his hand. Things get nasty in a hurry, the two boys fight over Frankie's kiss.
The next day, Mac arrived at the mansion, still angry over Bloo stealing that kiss from him. Frankie answered the door, and she was explaing to Mac that she was in love with someone. Mac assumed that Frankie was talking about him. Mac went to tell Bloo about it. Bloo responded that he was the best, and he also told Mac that he's just a kid, even though Bloo is statistically younger than Mac by three years. Someone rings the doorbell, and a pizza delivery guy shows up (we learn that his name is Chris, later in the episode). Bloo pointed out how Chris had some of the things Bloo himself and Mac do not have. Mac and Bloo started to believe that neither of them were meant to be with Frankie, but with Chris, instead. Therefore, the two boys come up with a plan to stop the pizza man.
Mac and Bloo tossed balls of paper at Chris, and he was about to depart. Something Bloo shouted stopped Chris from exiting, and he thought that Frankie was meant for him...feeling the love. So, Chris came back in the home, while Bloo and Mac were tossing paper balls at him until they ran out. Frankie was wondering what the heck is going on. She gave Chris the money to for the pizzas, and asked Bloo and Mac to show him the way out. Chris pulls all the hair back, and uses mouth freshener for his breath. He was about to tell Frankie how much he cared for her, but the two boys tackled Chris and continued to fight until someone else approached the door. Once again, it appeared that there's another man in the house. This time, it was Prince Charming (who is actually an imaginary man). The three guys pointed out some of the imaginary man's characteristics.
Frankie explained Prince Charming about Foster's, and that he's welcome to stay. Prince Charming fell in love with Frankie and said a few 'good' lines, which impressed Bloo, Mac, and Chris. Frankie, however, was not impressed with them. Moments later, the three guys attacked Prince Charming. Once again, a doorbell was heard. Could this be the man of Frankie's dreams? Indeed, it was. The name's Lee, Dylan Lee. The four guys couldn't believe it. They all come up with another plan, this time to stop Dylan.
So, the come up with a plan...Chris, Mac, and Bloo are disguised as one tall man (Bloo being the face, plus mustache), and Prince wore a dress being the date. PC did not like this idea at all. Even though none of them had reservations, they still got themselves in the restaurant. Dylan and Frankie were seated at the table (while Frankie was explaining to Dylan about her career), and then the others showed up. Frankie recognized that face of the tall man (knowing that he was Bloo). Bloo replied with the disguised voice, telling Frankie to call him "Orlando Bloo" (a parody of the name, Orlando Bloom). So, Bloo....or should I say...Orlando Bloo, was telling Dylan a story (that never happened) that he had been dating Frankie for 20 years, before breaking up (or since she was 2), and he explained how he's a gazillionaire. Prince Charming was kissing Frankie's hand, and showing her how much he loved her. Frankie was not impressed. Both Frankie and PC went to the lady's room, where PC got the crud kicked out of him.
Dylan found out that this "Orlando Bloo" character was a joke, revealing Bloo, Mac, and Chris. Dylan was pretty mad, and told the three that Frankie could never fall in love with a dork, a kid, and a thing. Frankie heard a lot of what Dylan said to the guys, and she was definitely 'hot' (as in furious). Dylan tried to convince her, but Frankie gave him a nosebleed and an atomic wedgie.
At the end, Frankie, Mac, Bloo, and even Chris and Prince Charming were seated, eating pizza. Mac and Bloo were saying how Frankie got Dylan good. Frankie pointed out that he wore briefs, and said he was a dork. Each of the guys explained that they weren't men, and Bloo said that he can compete with that.
Anyway, this was a treat. Ms. Faust wrote a superb episode, which brought lots of laughs and fun. I seriously doubt it could have been better with the other major character participating.
