Rewatching OFMD (as one does, obviously) and I realized why Ed identifies so quickly with Frenchie, and it's not just at the party.
At the very beginning of the episode when he's hanging out with Stede, after trying to feel fancy and feeling like he'll never really get to (ie, why he was remembering his mother telling him that fine things just aren't for people like them), Frenchie walks in.
And when Frenchie walks in, he's wearing one of the fancy Frenchmen's suits, and he says," What do you think? A couple of the suits from the fancy ship didn’t have blood on them and weren’t burned up, so I nabbed ‘em."
He saw a black man walk in, and just decide to put on finery. He didn't listen to the people who would've told him that he didn't get to have it, he didn't listen to the people who would've told him that stealing posh clothes was a waste. He instead saw Frenchie step into the room, doing what he wanted and taking some finery for himself, and ask the two of them what they thought of his outfit like it was just the most casual thing. Even though he wasn't even apart of Stede's aristocratic lessons, he just chose to without fear of judgement.
Then he continues," And I found this. It’s an invitation to some kind of fancy party for hoity-toity people."
He's asking them if they want to do anything with this knowledge.
If they wanted to attend, for no reason really.
Ed got to see, for the first time in his whole life, someone like him give themselves a taste of the fine life, just because they wanted to try it, for a bit of fun. And he offered a ticket for Ed to try a bit of it himself, without any care to the whole world that told him that he didn't deserve it.
And then afterwards, Frenchie was there for him when he ran out of the dinner party, asking if he was okay, understanding the sort of thing he was feeling in a different way than Stede could, and in that finale playing a song with him so he can let his feelings out.
All that was important, too. But I think it was that first second, when he walked in the door clothed in fine fabrics with a smile on his face, that Ed really identified and attached to Frenchie.

I love these albums to death
There’s so much heart in each of these covers(and I mean for obvious reasons). Two albums made for suicide prevention. And at least for me these albums did help me through a lot of hard times.
I remember when the first released in 2018 and being so fucking excited to see Dream State on there, and let alone an LP cover. Then seeing others like Against Me! and Dance Gavin Dance on there made me get even more excited. And finally getting into it I found so many more bands. Although I hadn’t checked their music out at that point, the “Losing My Religion” cover by Movements is so well done. And that “Such Great Heights” cover by As It Is is perfect. Also kinda ashamed to say I didn’t realize that Too Close To Touch was on here and their rendition of “Let It Be” is amazing.
Then the second volume released and seeing Silverstein, Mayday Parade, and Sharptooth throw their hats in the ring, I was just so happy to see the project continued. “Drops of Jupiter” by With Confidence is such a great tribute to the original. “Trust” by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus is such a beautiful acoustic rendition of Thrice’s classic. And props to Trash Boat’s “Given Up” for A. Giving me the same shivers LP’s version gives me and for B. Hitting that scream(you know the one).
Just in all these albums are great. If you’ve not checked them out before give them a listen. Artists putting their all into some amazing covers.

I'm a plane and I'm blocking your sunlight
I'm a first-class ticket to a fistfight
Took a hit to the ribs
But I feel just fine, yeah
