Funny how Frank returned to Tahiti without the glasses to break up with Ali.
If this was actually filmed during Frank's HT date, from the locations, it would've been spring. They had Frank walking all over the downtown of the city, but then he headed up Michigan Ave and the last outside shot was clearly on a little street in the Gold Coast area, probably between Division and North Ave. You could see the lake in the background and the parkway plantings fit in with that area. Nicole could live in a high-rise building around there. It looked to be a studio or it could've been a hotel in Tahiti, if that is what the smart money is on - that Frank and Nicole got trips to Tahiti as part of the deal, although I don't see why it would be necessary.
IMO Frank was as big as jerk as Justin (and I'm glad Ali got to say so). His attempts to show how emotionally difficult it was for him didn't seem real., In fact, it took him quite a long time to even express anything remotely like being sorry. He made it all about him. Selfish, selfish, selfish!
