Frankie eventually agrees to forgive Johnno for his affair as she felt life was too short to remain hostile towards the father of her children. Johnno still wants another shot with Frankie, but she makes it clear she is happy with her new partner Jack Osborne, and there was no hope of them reuniting. Johnno realises that Michelle and Presley need him more than his other family and decides to go back home and make up with Michelle. Frankie tells him he will always be her best friend. Her final words to him are: "For the first we met, we were standing at a bus stop in 1979, your cheeky grin, the white leather jacket, hair slicked back, Johnno Dean, who treats girls mean to keep them keen." With their divorced was completed, Frankie told Jack that he and Michelle were married, where Steph was the bridesmaids. Frankie later invited him and Michelle to her wedding with Jack, but couldn't attend due to schedule conflicts.
