The penultimate episode of Season 11 gave us an idea of how the show might come to an end. It saw Liam (Christian Isaiah) spending some quality time with Frank and temporarily lifting his spirits. After a day filled with joyous moments, Frank and Liam make their way to the Alibi. However, things start to go downhill when his body rejects his beloved alcohol. That’s the time when he starts questioning his own identity.
With his Dementia continuing to get worse, Frank loses control of his body and collapses on the couch. At the end of the episode, it did appear as though Frank died. He also wrote a letter for his family before falling on the floor. Is that the end of Frank? Only time will tell.
