Yep — she said they couldn’t detect any survivors. Frex’s pod may have been picked up. I doubt it will be the last we see.

True, but it might also mean he died in the explosion after abandoning children to die.
What would you suggest Frex have done? The station was doomed regardless, there was only one escape pod, and the kids couldn't all fit in it.
If anything, it was the Protostar that should have picked HIM up!
That they could detect.
Remember that we don't know how long it took the Dauntless to get to that area. And there was 0 mention of a destroyed escape pod.
So, we have no idea of what happened do him... but it stands to reason he survived the explosion because the escape pod dashed away from the station at pretty high speed so he had a massive lead over the kids' space walk.
He could still be located by the Dauntless in the next few episodes.
I mean, there's no situation where a Starfleet Officer abandoning children to die on an exploding space ship isn't a complete disgrace.
"What should he do?"
"Don't cowardly flee and leave behind children to save your own ass."
But yes, I'm glad they left him behind.
Its possible the escape pod was beyond the range the range of effective sensors or he might have masked its signature (he did think the kids were saboteurs and he wouldnt' have wanted to be on the same ship as them.
Possibly. It's also possible the showrunners are using children's animation "tricks" to get around the fact you're not supposed to kill anyone in their programming's age range.
They did kill some Borg drones onscreen, though. One got shot, others were thrown over the edge of the bridge by Rok and/or Gwyn.

Maybe it’s because he’s from a generation ship or something that left Tellar a long time ago explaining how he’s in the Delta quadrant and didn’t know her was a Tellarite until the last Ep.
Trained officer vs. a bunch of kids handling a threat?
Yup, let's go with the kids!
Frex probably got picked up by one of his wives. Or any of their husbands...
It's complicated.
It's complicated.
So here's something odd I noticed. This week, the Trill Ensign on the Dauntless had gold trim on her uniform, just like Janeway has on her Admiral's uniform. It doesn't seem anyone else. Tellarite Doctor doesn't. Last week, the Andorian officer on the Dauntless didn't, neither did the Denobulan on the outpost. And looking back to the midseason finale, the Trill didn't have gold trim there. So likely just a mistake made this week. But odd all the same.
That's hardly accurate because prodigy doesn't shy away from huge explosions or people dying.
Didn't most of the kids on the protostar itself died during a temporal loop?
What about dreadnok?
Frex ejected in an escape pod. There's no way his pod was caught in an explosion if the kids managed to get away by doing a space walk minutes later.
In children's animation there's a lot of arbitrary weird rules but among the most famous are:
* You can use lasers but not guns
* You can kill robots without problem but people are verbotom
* You can claim to send people "back into another dimension" but not kill them
* You can throw people off buildings to their obvious death but as long as they're not seen dying, you can claim otherwise
STAR WARS: REBELS creator for example claimed to Disney none of the stormtroopers that were shot in the show died, they just were knocked out due to their armor.
I'm not sure how true that is considering Season 1 had this. Sure, you don't see the bodies, but the implication is quite clear. A lot clearer than an explosion knocking out a stormtrooper.
