I love Frost. I have from the beginning. And yes, I did (and still do) believe that she killed both her father and Melissa (Melinda?) intentionally.
I don't think she was trying to comfort Chaz. I think she came to observe him, see if he needed killing, and when she decided he didn't, gave him information she thought would help his healing.
I love her origami as transferred emotion. It's perfect for that.

This statement gave me more willies than just about any of the other Horrible Thoughts in this thread. I would have said Frost's not that cold, but then I remembered who the writers are. Most of the proposed motivations for her behavior are plausible to me, including this one (though I wish it weren't). |

I'm a Frost fan too.
Notice that the bio says that her father died in a head-on collision that she walked away from. It does not say that she was in the same car he was.
So she and Chaz both killed their fathers. It makes for a commonality of feeling, I imagine.

But does Frost know that the Relative was Chaz' father? I would have thought the team would keep that strictly on a need-to-know basis.

Even if nobody told her in so many words, it wouldn't be hard to figure out. She did perform an autopsy on a man with the same last name as Chaz, whose last known address was Chaz's grandparents, and who looks very much like Chaz would in twenty years or so. And she is a smart cookie. On the other hand, at this point I don't buy the theory that Frost is a cold-blooded killer of evildoers. If she was, I'd expect her to want to go out with the field agents. So far, the only time she's gone into the field was in Ballistic, when she wanted to see the latest corpse in situ. (Note, not the gamma, the corpse.) On the gripping hand, there's another extra due in a few hours, and several seasons on their way, so I may be eating those words very shortly. Or not. |

Frost would have run DNA on the corpse. She'd know that he was Chaz' father.

Meep. Frost just keeps getting more and more complicated. (Layers. Like an onion. Or something that has even more layers and you never really get to the center/beginning.) Frost would have run DNA on the corpse. She'd know that he was Chaz' father.
I agree. |

Frost is a fractal. And yes, she brought Chaz a trophy. The origami. Her mother taught her how to do that; her mother loved her that much, and that's how she remembers that. And she gave that to Chaz. And that, for the purpose of not creeping myself out, is what I'm taking from all of this. |

Layers, yeah... eek. That's for sure--and I'm not certain I want to know what's underneath.  But I had a thought. Chaz's mental state at the moment... well, fragile doesn't even *begin* to cover it. I get the sense that he thinks that Frost sees him as "kin," if you will... but what if, instead of "survivor" kin, he thinks she sees him as "sociopath/monster" kin? It's... not a pretty thought. And Frost isn't the type to jolly him out of it, even if it were obvious. Erk. (And dammit, PTB, all my careful grammar and English skills go right out the window after reading these extras... *grin* Yes, I'm a little shaken.) |

I think several of these theories are true.
Including the scary one.
