Bridget nails her with the comment "that says it all. Anger and hope. That's you all over."

Nearly from the outset Franky starts to flirt with Bridget. Teasing her with sexual innuendo which Bridget either ignores or laughs off. When Franky oversteps the mark Bridget draws the line by letting Franky know that she doesn't respect attempts to intimidate her.
For Franky the relationship with Bridget enables her to trust in a way she never has before which spurs her on to navigate her way out of prison and into Bridget's welcoming arms at the end of Season 3. In Blood and Fire Ep 12 the ultimate Franky and Bridget scene occurs in the carpark where Bridget wearing leathers and driving a sports car is there to greet Franky on her release. The look on Franky's face on seeing Bridget there to meet her tells it all.
Franky immediately embraces Bridget and they kiss passionately.
