S4E8 “Paddy’s Pub: The Worst Bar in Philadelphia”

You may have not even noticed, but this is one of only two episodes (after season 1) that Frank does not appear in at all. Maybe Frank was just sleeping in that day or something. Do you think the events of this episode would have turned out differently if he was actually involved in this scheme? Would he have been able to reign in Charlie before he decided to kidnap Corman? Or would he have actually escalated things further and somehow managed to make the situation even worse?
