Thus, the later headbutting between Paris and Francie was a continuing fight to be top dog among two deepely intense rivals who were stuck with and could never escape each other during their time at Chilton. I guess I saw more than a little bit of this dynamic for real in college Greek life and it always seemed like such a waste of time and energy, but at least in GG it was useful for dramatic purpose.

Francie was pretty funny back in the Puffs episode too. I think her motivation is just old fashioned power play, nice and conniving....

As a character, she was kind of awesome. She and her conniving ways as a good example of the decent subplots that existed in the early seasons of the series. It brought out the vengeful side of Rory (in a good way of course), the insecure side of Paris, and brought the Rory-Paris friendship to a new level by the end. The same cannot be said for some other characters later introduced which did jack sh*t for the series (*cough* Lucy and Olivia *cough*) and actually brought out the annoying in most of the characters involved. Basically, seeing the Francie storyline reminds me of how great the series was and also how awful it got... As a person, I would’ve like to bring Francie down a peg or two.
