The conflict between Sable and Frankie heated up on Season 2 of The Colbys as it became apparent that Sable would lose out to her younger sister. Desperate to keep Jason and Frankie apart, Sable accused Jason of beating her. And now Sable is desperate to get out of her lie before she gets into real trouble. Sensing Sable’s vulnerability, Frankie actually stands up to her sister - which may not have been the wisest decision while Sable was wielding a riding crop.

In this verbal spar - Sable scores points for calling Frankie a walking ad for adultery (not entirely untrue, even though Sable finally succumbed and slept with Zach) and wondering who is Frankie’s keeper. Frankie lamely retorts about not losing something you never had (really!) but does have the upper hand as she knows that Sable’s lie will be exposed and Sable may face real consequences.

In the end, Sable is able to get out of her lie - but the fight between the sisters will continue.
