3: The Bachelor Arms

Frank had to be at work at the Sprint store later in the afternoon. He didn't know where he would go after that. Probably a motel. Isn't that where Millhouse's dad went to live after he and Luann broke up? The Bachelor Arms, I think. That's not the only similarity with The Simpsons, Kat also had a Pyro in her life.

After Frank finished his shift selling phones in the ghetto neighborhood of Chester, he checked into a cheap flop house. Dingy room, saggy bed, shouting outside. The muffled voices through the walls were the only welcome home.

Kat's friend Vanessa's marriage had recently broken up too. Frank heard Kat talk to Vanessa every day about the continuing saga of their marital drama. Vanessa's husband Dave Brennan was an attorney, but not a successful one; there was just something a little weird about the guy. He was working at the local hardware store for extra cash.  Vanessa's husband Dave has been telling Frank that Kat and Vanessa were hanging around the local Marriot Courtyard at night. Frank didn't want to hear it; he didn't want to upset the fragile balance he was trying to keep in his home. His life, his beloved son and daughter, his home, everything he had in the world were on the line here and he knew it. Dave noticed that Vanessa wasn't coming home after work and was coming home late most nights. He told Frank that not only were they hanging around the hotel, but he had pictures of Vanessa and Kat talking to strange men. Dave told Frank that he thought Vanessa and Kat were earning extra money in prostitution. Frank always thought there was something a little weird about Dave, but this accusation was a little extreme, even for Dave. Dave insisted there were lots of pictures and he would show them to Frank. But still, he couldn't get the image out of his head. Kat, with her short, thick body and dark helmet-like mullet hair-do attracting businessmen at the Marriott?  It was almost laughable. He didn't even know what he ever saw in her. Why, he had never even seen her naked in all their years married. Not on their honeymoon, not once in their fifteen year marriage did she let her guard down. She went into the bathroom to change with the door locked and came to bed fully covered. Dave was sinking to psychotic paranoia due to the stress maybe? Still, Dave was on his list of phone calls to make the next morning.
