Frankie and Mike must choose who is going to proudly walk Axl onto the field at Homecoming...or wait for Sue to stagger over the finish line at her first cross-country meet.

For his birthday present, Brick demands that Frankie and Mike tell him the true story about the day he was born -- which has always remained a Heck family secret.

Frankie wants Mike to wear a costume to the neighborhood Halloween party, and Sue's spirits are lifted when Reverend TimTom (PAUL HIPP) returns to host a Halloween church event.

Frankie and Mike consider leaving home ownership behind and moving the family to an apartment when the Heck home begins to literally fall apart.

Brick wants his independence from being Frankie's weekend errand boy and pleads with her to let him stay home alone. Axl tries to grow a beard -- with mixed results.

Frankie's determined to find Brick his first friend; Sue's caught sneaking into an R-rated movie; and Axl and his friends covertly shoot footage of their hot biology teacher.
