Frank became the laughing stock of the town, and was fired from his job at a pea soup factory. His brother Bob hooked him up with a job at the zoo, where he has worked ever since. He accidentally infects himself with a virus after eating a boiled egg that was covered in chimp saliva. As a result, he nearly dies from the fever that it brings. After his near death experience, Frank decides to take better care of himself, so he can be there for Shane.
