The Middle

- Season 6

(2014)

Sue's senior year, the "Year of Sue," begins with the premature removal of her braces. Meanwhile, Axl finally beats Mike in basketball and Brick tries to find the perfect backpack for school.

Mike and Frankie search for second jobs in order to send Sue to a good college, Sue and Brad produce a play for school, Brick finds some of his old "lost" toys, and Axl raids the house to furnish his new home.

Frankie and Mike are shocked when Brick announces that he wants to go to his school's fall dance. Axl has a week to declare his major but has no idea what it should be. Sue attempts to show she's more mature by drinking loads of coffee.

Frankie decides to buy a new kitchen table online, Sue and Darrin hit a rough patch over a piece of jewelry, and Axl and Hutch create a "fratority" to help pay for house bills.

Brick invites a girl over to the house for Halloween, Sue tries to raise money for college with a pumpkin patch screening of "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown," and Axl accidentally gets locked in the library.

The Heck house once again throws a curve ball to the family when the kitchen sink caves in and drops out of sight, causing Frankie to have to wash the dishes with the outside hose. Meanwhile, Sue is informed that - since Wrestlerettes does not qualify for P.E. credit - she needs to master tinikling (a difficult dance routine for a clumsy Sue) to get the credit she needs to graduate; and after Brick accidentally breaks Mike's lawn mower, he takes Axl's advice to try and play the hero card by taking his dad's wallet then returning it later, thinking this will divert ...

Thanksgiving for the Hecks at a local restaurant buffet doesn't go well when Sue feels that Mike doesn't like her boyfriend, Darrin, and Brick invites his quirky girlfriend, Cindy.

Mike accompanies Sue on a college tour weekend. Frankie leaves Brick with babysitters and a school project while she goes to watch Axl play in his first college football game.

Frankie loses her Christmas spirit, Mike unsuccessfully tries to exchange the new family Christmas tree, and a fight over Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer threatens to break up BossCo.

Frankie gets excited when an old high school acquaintance who won a million dollars on "Wheel of Fortune" comes back to town. Meanwhile, Sue tries to find a unique skill to help get into college, and Axl tries to get date with Devin.

Mike gives Sue a job at the quarry, Axl helps Mike's dad fix the sink, Frankie has to work at Ehlert Motors for one more day to earn her expired paycheck, and Brick starts watching old game shows.

Aunt Edie has passed away so the Hecks take a train to South Dakota to take her body to its final resting place.

Brick learns that his quirky girlfriend wants him to kiss her on Valentine's Day. Axl struggles with the fact that his girlfriend doesn't want to do anything romantic.

Sue wants to back out of her engagement to Darrin, but she doesn't know how to do it. Meanwhile, Axl uses what he has learned in his psychology class to try and "cure" Brick.

Frankie is overwhelmed with guilt upon realising that she and the family forgot to celebrate Brick's 13th birthday; Sue wants to be included in the yearbook; Devin breaks up with Axl.

Frankie fears that her bad remark about Axl's hot friend may have been overheard. Sue takes Brick to a Planet Nowhere convention. Tag asks Mike for help on his driver's test.

Frankie nervously waits to see if Sue got into any of the colleges she applied to.

Frankie accompanies Brick on a school field trip and attempts to help her socially inept son make friends with a couple of boys. Meanwhile, when Devin scolds Axl for being mean to his sister, he tries to make it look like they are the best of friends when Sue spends the weekend at his house; and while trying to thin out some of their hoarding father's massive stockpile of junk, Mike gets a sinking feeling that he may have bullied his brother Rusty a bit too much as kids and turned him into the hapless man that he is today.

Frankie takes an unconventional approach to a heated argument between Sue and Axl over a sombrero which only causes more friction. Mike is shocked to learn that Brick has been awarded with the middle school's Athlete of the Month award.

Brick gets in trouble for disrespecting his mother, Axl refuses to come to town to help Mike after his 21st birthday, and Sue gets a job offer from a competitor at the food court.

Frankie and Mike find themselves caught in the middle of a long standing family feud when Frankie's Uncle Dutch contacts her dad, Tag in an attempt to reunite and bury the hatchet with his estranged brother.
