Odessa Young as Frannie Goldsmith in 'The Stand'. (CBS) The episode sees a voiceover explaining how Frannie’s baby, named Abagail after Mother Abagail (Whoopi Goldberg) of course, came down with Captain Trips -- the plague that killed most people on earth -- shortly after her birth. But she also became the first person ever to overcome it, signifying that there is hope. The episode then sees Stu (James Marsden) and Frannie reunited and he gets to meet his daughter. They then travel across the country to return to Maine. When Stu goes into a town for supplies, Frannie decides to investigate a pump in the yard. As she leans over an old well to make it work, she hears Randall Flagg’s (Alexander Skarsgård) voice. Flagg says “Hello, b****” into her ear, and she falls back into the well. Suddenly, we see Frannie is in a forest, speaking to Flagg. He shows her visions of her crumpled body in the well and Stu’s burst tire, scaring her to believe that he would never make it in time to save her. As is his modus operandi, Flagg attempts to seduce her to his side with a promise of safety. In exchange for saving her life, her baby’s life, and sparing Stu, all she has to do is give him a kiss and occasionally allow him to possess her.
