Storyline

Axl delights his startled parents by dating his basketball team's ambitious, seemingly perfect head cheerleader Morgan, but when she dumps him for being 'not focused enough', he's heartbroken. Frankie enjoys comforting him but her 'solution', an answering machine recording showing Mike once grieved over a break-up with her, not only embarrasses both men but also inspires Axl to a disastrous 'roma,tic move', which nevertheless works out, albeit only for him. Even babysitting easy Brick proves too hard for airhead Sue, who gets as paranoid as him after they watched a zombie movie, causing public embarrassment for the whole family. Written by KGF Vissers
