He's been homeless for a year, the ex-husband of the love of his life did permanent injury to his nose probably his brain with a punch, and the love of his life has had to go into hiding from the secret service, which has Frank under surveillance, too but meanwhile there's the world to save. Frank's a scientist. He has to save the world so that science can proceed, obviously. This has become known as the Frank Principle.
