Excited over being invited to the neighborhood Halloween party, Frankie encourages Mike to dress up in costume – but he might just have his own idea of fun. Meanwhile, a melancholy Sue's spirits are lifted when she discovers that Reverend TimTom (guest star PAUL HIPP) is back in town and hosting a Halloween church event; things don't go quite as planned for Axl, his friends and their dates as they head out to an exclusive haunted house party; and Brick chooses a unique Halloween costume that is not easily defined.

Frankie fears that a confrontation with trashy neighbor Rita Glossner (guest star BROOKE SHIELDS) is at hand when Sue has a run-in with her sons. Meanwhile, Axl tries to bribe Brick when he’s asked to teach his little brother how to kick a ball for a gym requirement. But it’s Brick who turns the tables on Axl and ends up bribing him for another favor.

Valentine's Day unexpectedly finds Frankie and Mike home alone and ready for a romantic evening while Brick is away at his first sleepover, Sue goes to her first boy-girl party, and Axl has a big date night planned with some friends. But Cupid's arrow doesn't exactly hit the target, and the best-laid plans soon begin to unravel.

Fearing that a friendless Brick could be missing out on his childhood, Frankie makes it her mission to find a suitable friend for him. Meanwhile, after Mike forbids Sue from seeing an R-rated film, she goes against her father's wishes and sneaks into a movie theater with her friend Carly (guest star BLAINE SAUNDERS); and Axl and his band need a hot chick to appear in their online music video and attempt to shoot footage of their sexy biology teacher, Ms. Devereaux (guest star KRISTIN CAVALLARI) -- without her knowledge or consent.

After attending year-end school parent-teacher conferences, Frankie and Mike are shocked to discover that Brick may be held back from going to the third grade because the school librarian, Mrs. Nethercott (guest star BETTY WHITE), has it out for him due to 31 unreturned books; and Axl's aptitude test results reveal him to be academically gifted. But Frankie makes it her mission to get an overlooked Sue the recognition she deserves when none of her teachers even realize that she's in their classes.
