Frankie is concerned she hasn't heard from Jonah in days, so she tries to get his attention by wearing different clothes and taking selfies to show him what he's missing. She becomes obsessed with following his every move on social media, so when she sees him doing "their thing" at The Dot (making a tower of milk creamers), she decides to do investigate. At first everything seems okay, but as she walks up to talk to Jonah another girl appears. Frankie thinks the girl might be why Jonah hasn't been talking to her, but it's revealed she's actually someone from Jonah's Narcotics Anonymous group. The next day, Frankie tells Jonah that he should've told her about NA, but Jonah reminds her that she asked him for space. She says "space" isn't what she really meant, and she brings up that Jonah rejecting her sexually hurt her feelings. Jonah feels like everything he does hurts her feelings and he doesn't know how to prove that he cares about her. Frankie asks Shay and Lola if she's a crazy girlfriend, and they honestly tell her that she's clingy, jealous and has unrealistic expectations of her relationships.

Frankie freaks out and feels like she has to explain herself to Jonah, so she heads to Ms. Rivas' wedding to find him. She tells him about what Hunter did, but that she does love him and wants their relationship to work despite their toxic behavior. Jonah says he'll call her later, but when he never does she checks his Facerange messages again. Just as she's doing that he walks in with a bouquet of flowers. When he sees what she's doing, Jonah tells her that she's lost his trust and he breaks up with her.

Season 4[]

In #BackToReality, Jonah doesn't want his relationship with Grace to be public because he is worried that Frankie will hurt herself. Even if she doesn't seem like she will, Maya tried to kill herself and hardly anyone suspected she was having those thoughts, so he doesn't want to risk it. An already insecure Grace snaps at Jonah at the fun fair after hearing Frankie say that she thinks Jonah wants to get back together with her because he said hi to her in the morning. Jonah asks Grace out in public and she says yes and kisses him, and that secrecy plot is resolved- but Frankie saw the entire commotion and doesn't look happy.

Frankie hanging out with Esme and Zig.

In #GetMoney, Frankie has been posting depressing pictures on her socials, and is talked to by the guidance counselor because said posts are making her look at-risk. Frankie insists that she's totally fine post-break-up and Shay and Lola insist that the guidance counselor might be right. Lola convinces Frankie to learn how to "win" the break-up by faking it until she makes it. Frankie ropes her twin brother Hunter into coming with her to a drumming festival so they can take pictures to prove she's happy. A disinterested Hunter brings his laptop, so Frankie goes to hang out with Esme and Zig. After Zig leaves, Esme fixes Frankie's hair and encourages her to go talk to Jonah, who's kissing Grace. All it takes is for Jonah to say Frankie's name before she calls him a piece of crap. She accuses him of sneaking around behind her back when they were together, and he says that nothing he ever did was good enough for her, and breaking up did nothing to change that. Frankie goes to leave but happens upon Jonah's guitar, which smashes against a tree until it breaks. "It used to be you!" Frankie screams back at Jonah who asks what her problem is. At the Hollingsworth home, Miles and Hunter show Frankie a video of her smashing Jonah's guitar against the tree on Esme's social media. Ms. Hollingsworth reveals that Frankie's going to give Jonah the money to pay for the guitar. Frankie approaches Jonah to give him the money and freezes when Grace approaches him and she hears people gossiping about her. Instead, Frankie approaches Esme to yell at her for posting the video. Esme sways Frankie by saying that Taylor Swift made an entire career off of bashing her exes and that what Frankie did was badass. Later, Frankie approaches Jonah as Esme films. She tries to look sexy as she flicks money at him, saying it's for the new guitar, and so he can pay for a date for once in his life.

Frankie baking cupcakes with Zig and Esme.

In #Preach, Lola and Shay aren't happy with how much time Frankie is spending with Esme, and how all she does is party when Lola has vlogging and Shay has track. "The world's reacting to a terror attack and you're posting yacht pics." Shay tells her. When Frankie learns about the bake sale fundraiser for Belgium, she immediately wants to be a part of it and cancels her plans with Esme for that night. Later, Frankie makes a huge mess as she tries to bake, and Esme and Zig show up to help. Frankie accidentally hits Zig in the face with frosting and it starts a frosting war that ends with Frankie and Esme on top of Zig. At the bake sale, rumors abound about what happened when Frankie's cupcakes (now nicknamed "orgycakes") were made. She dumps the cupcakes because of the threesome connotation. Esme is planning to skip the rally to get burgers with Zig, and invite Frankie, who tells Esme that she doesn't think she should hang out with them anymore. Esme manipulates her into thinking that her and Zig are her only true friends because they helped her through her breakup with Jonah.

In #FactsOnly, Frankie finds Zig later after his friends find out he wasn't accepted into college and comforts him, offering up her pathetic moments to make him feel better. "I'm not a very good girlfriend," she admits. When Esme walks up, Frankie takes her to leave. Zig tries to explain to Esme that there was nothing happening with Frankie just then, but Esme seems to be encouraging him to make a move on Frankie. "You were telling me you wanted to kiss Frankie, unless I heard incorrectly?" Esme says before leaving a very confused Zig alone. She asks Zig who's a better kisser later that day, making Frankie kiss him. He walks away from Tiny the next day to join Esme and Frankie.

In #Fire, the episode opens on Zig, Frankie, and Esme, cuddled up at school. Esme immediately gets defensive when she learns about Zig's camping trip and invites herself and a hapless Frankie along. In Frankie's room, Esme reveals matching bikini tops she bought for her and Frankie, but Frankie says she doesn't think she'll go because they weren't invited. Esme tries to convince her, but Frankie tells her to make her own history with Zig and friends, and leaves to go meet Shay and Lola. Frankie tells Shay and Lola she won't go on the camping trip, to which Lola snarks: "Trouble in poly paradise? There's a surprise." Frankie agrees to go on the camping trip, driving Shay and Lola up. Later, Maya stresses out about her songwriting and Frankie, Shay, and Lola show up. Frankie pops a brownie in her mouth and spits it out when Jonah says they're weed brownies, and then goes to put her stuff away and check on Esme, who's not happy to see her. Later, Frankie and Esme walk alone in the dark, Frankie trying to get them to turn back. Esme is freaking out and paranoid that Zig will abandon her, and she lashes out on Frankie, who was a pawn the entire time to keep Zig with her. "I made you!" Esme snaps when Frankie says she's not going to have a threesome with Zig and Esme. When Frankie still says she won't do it, Esme tells her she's just like everyone else. She abandons Frankie in the woods. Grace, Jonah, and Lola all go their tent and Frankie's car respectively, leaving Tiny and Shay. After Esme fakes an allergic reaction, Frankie makes an entrance from the woods: "I thought I was gonna die!" Zig returns to his, Frankie, and Esme's tent in the morning as Esme tries to explain what happened, saying that Maya put herself in trouble so Zig would leave Esme.

In #GetYouAManThatCanDoBoth, Shay is bombarded by Frankie and Lola at school as they gush about her post-sex glow. Later, Shay and Frankie talk about Shay not going to prom and Baaz cuts in. Frankie and Lola pass through the halls later and see "Go home Saad" written on Saad's locker. Lola asks Frankie if she minds if she partners with him for a science project, and Frankie teases her: "Classic Lola. Back at it again with those problematic crushes."

In #KThxBye, Esme shows up unceremoniously in Frankie's room, scarily rambling and trying to make a plan. Frankie timidly helps come up with ideas and Esme ends up passing out on Frankie's bed. The next morning, Frankie realizes that Esme said she tried to stop prom. She rushes upstairs to find her, but she's gone. Frankie, looking for Esme, learns she's not on the list to graduate even though she's a straight A student who got into two Ivy League schools. Frankie sees Esme outside on a motorcycle that she bought for Zig. Frankie pulls Zig out during Maya's song.
