Encounters[]
When Max Caulfield enters the Blackwell Academy parking lot she notices an RV parked across from a diagonally parked truck. Approaching the RV from the side, she spots Pompidou sleeping on its side.
She notes that he looked peaceful, but could attack her like Stephen King's Cujo if she wasn't careful. At the end of the day, Pompidou is outside the RV barking at the snowfall when Frank steps outside the RV to shout at him for barking before noticing the snow himself.
When Max arrives at the Two Whales Diner, the dog is sitting outside with Frank, who is asleep. When Max attempts to approach Frank and his dog, the dog chases her off when he starts to bark. Frank wakes up long enough to tell his dog to stop barking before returning to sleep.
Later, Frank's dog accompanies Frank to the beach to watch the eclipse that occurs at the end of the day.
When Max Chloe Price attempt to break into Frank's RV, Pompidou was on the other side of the door, growling at their proximity. While Chloe searched through a nearby garbage can for something to use as a direction, Max entered the Two Whales Diner to retrieve Frank's keys. Speaking with officer Berry, she learned about Pompidou's history a dog used in dog fights before he was rescued by Frank. Berry believed that Frank raised Pompidou on and how to attack trespassers for "blood".
When Max approaches Frank for his keys, she tries to use the information she learned about Pompidou from Berry. Frank asks where she learned about the dogs. Max complements his actions, calling him "animal lover". She tries to use his relationship with the dog to get him to give her his keys, asking if she could pet Pompidou.
Frank tells her that he wouldn't even allow her pick up the dog's shit and knew what she really wanted was his keys. He sets them on the table, giving her the opportunity to grab them off the time. When she rewinds, she leaves the diner and heads back to the RV. Chloe unlocks the door after giving Max a bone from the trash. When she opens the door, Pompidou runs out toward her.
