    Not as good as how the show has been as of late but it still was a quality installment from the series. The Middle has always delivered quality installments since day one and today was no different.

    The show is at it's best when all of the Hecks interact with each other. We've got Brick with the dog, Axel with the car, and finally Sue with the jeans.

    The ending was unexpected but I kind of predicted Axel would have a freak out soon after Sue did. This episode also proved that Frankie & Mike are the best TV parents as of now. Yes, better than Modern Family's parents. Good episode overall.moreless

    • Mike: You want a car? You're gonna have to work for it and earn it yourself. Axl: Yeah...uh...I had a job. It sucked, but I still want a car, so you see my dilemma. Mike: Well, you know, I have a job and a car, so you see the connection. Axl: (refering to Sue, who is crying and groaning from her room) If I had a car, I could take her to the insane asylum. Edit
    • Frankie: (narrating) The teen years. Clothes may change. The hair may change. What part of the body gets pierced may change. But one thing doesn't change: teenagers suck. Edit
