Nice Pics Hush!
Now to me the scene w/ Frank seemed more like he was giving Ryan a hard time because maybe he is still pissed at him. In the ep when Ryan was working for the "other side" defense, Frank gave him an attitude and showed he wasn't happy with him. SO I was thinking that Frank was still upset with him. It seemed like Ryan got all the shit jobs, like he's bottom of the rank again, like a newbie all over. Evan Boa seemed to out rank him now. That doesn't make me happy. He's worked hard and proven himself as a good csi and because of some bad personal choices he's back on the bottom, bleh. I understand he did some stupid stuff while on the clock but he made sure it didn't compromise the case or work.
The one thing with Ryan and Frank is they have always made funny lil sarcastic remarks or joke to each other, but I think right now Frank is still upset with him. JMO
