You would think that loading a dishwasher would be common sense, but you haven't met Axl (Charlie McDermott). He is clueless when it comes to that sort of thing, and Mike (Neil Flynn) isn't much better. Frankie (Patricia Heaton) is sick of this. For every sock he leaves lying around, she's going to leave a bra.
Sick of dealing with his parents, Axl drives all the up to Chicago to visit Hutch (Alphonso McAuley) who actually has a real job and is making a good living as his apartment is nicer than mine. He also completely an adult, using coasters and vacuuming up the crumbs Axl leaves behind instantly. Axl can't stand that, but tries to lie his way through the apartment mixer saying that he is a former professional diver but didn't win any medals. However, he realizes that he is sick of lying to everyone so he reveals the truth about himself and at least Hutch gives him props, but won't admit that he's not Beyonce's cousin.
Brick (Atticus Shaffer) is too busy reading to realize that the bus has left, but on the bright side, he runs into a new girl named Lila (Brenna D'Amico) and is thrilled as she hasn't met anyone else yet. So he goes through great lengths to win her over including writing out a script, which fails because Frankie forgets her line the moment she answers the door.
But she's great and they get along fine. And when she starts school, Brick sticks to her like glue as he doesn't want her to meet anyone else, even lies to her and says that are no clubs and that is just weird. However, she does receive two notes, that are threatening. Brick isn't upset as they are from Cindy and that means Cindy still wants him. Even though Lila is wonderful and normal, she's also too much work. With Cindy, things just clicked. He realizes that he should have never let her go, which is the truth. That being said, I do think we'll see Lila again.
As for Sue (Eden Sher), she looks pretty good without sleep. Excited about having a weekend alone, she catches up on some classic films, including Silence of the Lambs, which causes her to have nightmares and Brad (J. Brock Ciarlelli) is no help, as they soon burst into a sing-a-long. It isn't until Mike drives all the way up and swaddles her like she's a baby and tells her about the monotony of his day at the quarry. But it works. And Sue will eventually be able to function by herself, I have complete faith in her.
And then Axl returns home and finally decides to be a grown up. He's cut his golden locks and finally looks cute again. He is also finally going to really start looking for a grown-up job. It's about darn time.
Side Notes:
-Sue is apparently with Aidan. I hope she's happy.
-Brad is going to Spencer's to buy wigs with his mom and Xanadu is his second favorite Olivia Newton-John movie.
-Rio is where the Olympics were held, Axl. It's not just a movie.
-Brick wants a girl to become completely dependent on him. Until he realizes that his words sound really bad.
-I wonder what it will be like when Axl can finally get his own place.
-Ants are not good pets.
-I love how when Sue tries to find ways to sleep better and the first one on the list is turn off all electronics so she turns off her phone without reading the rest.
