In the Pilot, Frank pulls a switchblade on Morty and threatens to cut him, incorrectly accusing Morty of saying he was poor. Rick freezes Frank and drags Morty off. Summer steps onto the scene and tries to flirt with Frank, not noticing that he's currently frozen. His left foot shatters causing him to fall over and shatter into pieces, causing her to scream in horror. Later on when Jerry and Beth visited the school, they saw their daughter Summer and some other boys and girls having a funeral for Frank.
