Things just got complicated
Things are never simple with time travel.
And even though theyre not actually time-traveling onFrequency, theyre messing with time.
And time isnt very forgiving.

Nothing is easy with these two, but would we want it any other way?
Gray Line starts in 1996 with a kid throwing a fire bomb into Maricellas house.
Shes not there, but her mom is and gets sent to the hospital with severe burns.
Maricellas obviously not pleased and she runs straight to Frank to tell him about it.
All Frank would need to do is record the meeting and theyd have enough to catch the dirty cop.
Easy peasy, right?
(Its not.)
Frank calls in a former NYPD employee to help him record the conversation.
When hes meeting with him in his garage-home, Satch walks in and gets very high and mighty.
He doesnt think Frank is going about trapping Stan the right way.
Which is why when the cemetery meeting goes down, its a bust.
Stan shows up, alone, and starts talking to Frank by name through the planted microphone.
He knows Frank is listening because Satch is a big tattletale.
In the end, all any of us has is loyalty, Stan tells Frank.
And shes got quite the lead on Meghan, so shes on a roll with this case.
Her name is Meghan Womack and she called from Bellevue, where Raimy goes to find shes already gone.
Shes been transferred to a long-term facility but the orderly mentions her stepdad is a deacon at Saint Abigails.
Raimy goes to the other facility and learns Meghan has escaped.
Meghan gives Raimy her location before dropping the phone and running.
When Raimy gets there, shes nowhere to be found.
Plus, Raimy cant find records of Meghans mother, Christa, or little brother, Robby.
Hmm…
After learning all this from Raimy, Frank tracks down 1996 Meghan to a record store.
He asks her questions under the cover of investigating Larissa Abbotts missing person case.
(Maybe not the best way to get that message across, but okay.)
That was the first time Joe had her locked away.
While she was in there, her mom stopped visiting.
A year into her commitment, her brother came and said Joe had murdered her.
Then Robby stopped coming, too.
She had gone back to work…at ahospital.
SHE WAS A NURSE.
They must find Meghan in 2016.
Raimy is about to head up to Westchester when Joe himself visits the precinct.
He says theyre treating him like a fugitive by questioning his neighbors.
Joe says he was doing a 24-hour sit-in with a parishioner suffering from an addiction when Meghan went missing.
He also says he hasnt seen his wife since 1992 when she left for Arizona.
He sent her monthly checks, though.
Raimy doesnt buy any of this and races off to Joes house before he can get there.
She breaks into the house when she hears banging sounds.
She sees Meghans hospital bracelet in the trash and then heads up the stairs toward the banging.
Thats when Satch calls and her cell phone ringsout loud.
Come on, Raimy, rule 1 of breaking and entering: always silence your cell phone.
So, it looks like the assumption he murdered his wife is very true.
Raimy enters a bedroom and finds a hole in the wall; inside the wall are numerous duffel bags.
As she bends over to look, Deacon comes up from behind and attacks.
They scuffle, but she gets the upper hand and he runs away.
When he flees in his car, Raimy goes back to investigate the bags.
More importantly, Christas hands are tied with rosaries.
Looks like Raimy just found the Nightingale killer.
(It only took 20 years and nine episodes!)
Speaking of hooking up, after finding out about Satchs betrayal, Frank runs to Julie.
He tells her he wants to reveal everything about his time undercover, and then they kiss.
Weird choice, show.
Anyway, after their separate sexy times, Frank and Raimy meet up on the ham.
Raimy tells him their suspicions are confirmed: Deacon Joe is the Nightingale killer.
Now Im going to kill him, Frank says.
Aside from that bleak ending note, things are looking up onFrequency.
