    Storyline

    Edit
    Axl has just made the varsity football team, much to Frankie's delight, and she looks forward to a life-long dream of dressing up and walking him out on the field with Mike during homecoming. However, when she learns that Sue's first cross-country meet is the same day, Frankie and Mike must each make a Sophie's Choice-like decision on which kid's activity to attend. Meanwhile, Mike gets Brick to rake up the leaves in the yard but is thrown when, instead of taking them to the dump, Brick wants to set them free in the forest. —ABC Publicity

      Mike Heck: All right. I'll take football.

      Frankie Heck: No way. Why do you get football?

      Mike Heck: I'm a guy.

      Frankie Heck: Oh, come on. Cross country's a sport, too.

      Mike Heck: Is it? They run into the woods and come out two hours later. Lost dogs do the same thing.
