Frank goes to see Jack.  He tells Jack that he is the man Mary wanted and loved with all her heart.  He knows Jack was the first and only man Mary had ever slept with and he knows what that commitment meant to Mary.  Frank reminds Jack about all of Mary's good qualities and attests that Mary isn't about to give up on Jack or the marriage.

Frank reminds Jack he's promised to have the bypass operation before going ahead with the proceedings and asks him to keep that promise. Jack is tired, he says, of having Ryans tell him what to do.  Frank realizes he isn't getting anywhere.  He leaves Jack with the thought that not only will Mary fight, she'll have an army of people behind her every step of the way.
