When Brick is the only kid in his social skills class not to move ahead, Frankie is determined to try and find him a friend. Meanwhile, Axl and his friends try to get their biology teacher to star in their music video, and Sue sneaks in to an R-rated movie.

Quote from Darrin

Ms. Devereaux: [on phone video] As you can see, my heart rate's about 150. Hey. What are you doing? Are you filming me?
Axl: [on phone video] Oh, crap!
Darrin: So she busted us. We still got everything we needed.
Axl: Did we, Darrin? The song's called Run to Me, and what's the one thing we don't have a shot of her doing?
Darrin: Showering?
Axl: We never got her running! Ugh! I did not put almost three hours of my life into this to just walk away. We've gotta come up with a plan to save this. First... let's take a break.

Quote from Frankie

Frankie: Okay, rock stars, that's Brick's friend. Everybody clear out.
Brick: [singsongy] That's for me. That's my friend. My friend's here!
Frankie: Hi, Gerald. This is Brick. Brick, this is Gerald. I sure hope you're ready to have fun, Gerald, 'cause we sure are. Who's ready to make their own gummy worms?
Frankie: [v.o.] Yep. I was gonna pull out every trick in the mom book. I made tents. I made snacks. And I made sure it only lasted 48 minutes so Brick didn't lose interest.
Gerald: Thanks for having me. I had a great time.
Frankie: Did you hear that, Brick? He had a great time. Are you sure I can't give you something for the ride home? How about a bag of marshmallows?
Gerald: No, thanks. I'm full.
Frankie: Oh, come on. I can't send you home empty-handed. Oh. Here's a dollar. Okay. Have your mom call for another playdate.

Quote from Frankie

Frankie: I just don't get it. It's been three days, and Gerald hasn't called. Three days. After having a great time. His words, by the way. "A great time."
Mike: Well, maybe it wasn't as great as you thought it was.
Frankie: Oh, it was, too. I mean, I pumped him full of sugar, let him jump on the bed. Laughed at all his stupid jokes. I completely put out for that playdate.

Quote from Frankie

Frankie: What's this? Rivers of Love?
Mike: That's the name of the movie Sue wanted to see, but I said no.
Frankie: Well, there's also a receipt for coffee and scones, so either Sue or a British woman stole my sweater and saw Rivers of Love.

Quote from Brick

Brick: Mom, did my friend call?
Frankie: Oh. No, Brick, not yet.
Brick: But it's been four days. Can we call him?
Frankie: Brick, I told you. We have to wait for him to call us. If we call, Gerald won't think you're cool.
Brick: I think he knows I'm not.

Quote from Darrin

Axl: Okay, take a good look at us, 'cause once this video drops, you're gonna have to fight through bouncers just to touch us.
Axl: [on music video] ♪ One, two, three, you know you want me ♪ ♪ You know you need me ♪ ♪ You'll even bleed for me, can't get enough of me ♪ ♪ You are so into me ♪ ♪ You're such a hot hottie ♪ ♪ You say we'll meet at 3 ♪ ♪ That's why you run to me ♪ [video of Darrin's mom running] ♪ That's why you run to me, that's why you run to me ♪ ♪ That's why you run to me, that's why you run to me ♪
Boy: Oh, man. Darrin, is that your mom?
Darrin: Just watch. She does some really nice work here.
Axl: [sings on music video] Run to me, you are so into me ♪ ♪ That's why you run to me, uhh ♪
[All the other students leave]
Axl: No. [sighs]
Darrin: If we'd given her time to put her Spanx on like she asked, this whole thing would have worked.

Quote from Brick

Arlo: That was a cool car crash.
Brick: Yeah, pretty cool.
Arlo: If you squint, the car now sort of looks like Starscream, the Transformer.
Brick: I don't know Transformers. [whispers] Transformers.
Arlo: Really? My grandma gave me a kite with Starscream on it. I like flying kites.
Brick: I like flying kites also.
Arlo: Really?
Brick: We should fly kites together sometime.
Arlo: Okay, that'd be great.
Brick: This is my book.

Quote from Frankie

Frankie: [v.o.] And just like that, Brick made his first friend... Without me. So we had one kid who wasn't growing up too fast after all...
Brick: Cool. Now I'll be my mom and slam into your car.
Frankie: [v.o.] Another who thought she was ready to grow up but wasn't.
Mike: I thought you were going to Carly's.
Sue: I'm grounding myself for another week. I just don't feel I've quite learned my lesson. If anyone calls, I'm not allowed to use the phone.
Frankie: [v.o.] And one who might never grow up.
Frankie: Hey, where are you going?
Axl: We found a different way to get famous off YouTube. We're gonna launch ourselves off Darrin's garage. Lates.
Frankie: [v.o.] Personally, I don't get why anybody would ever wanna grow up.
Frankie: [skips] Ow! Ooh! Cramp!

Quote from Brick

Frankie: [v.o.] There's lots of different ways to make friends. Sometimes they live across the street. Sometimes you share a dorm room. And sometimes the school counselor makes you participate in a social skills group every Wednesday at 2:00.
Brick: I like flying kites.
Zack: I like flying kites also.
Brick: We should fly kites together sometime.
Zack: I would like that very much.
Brick: Till then, friend.
Mrs. Tompkins: Very good, boys. Now, parents, today is a big day here. Some of our members have made great progress and are... [singsongy] Moving ahead to the yellow group. [normal voice] Zack, congratulations.
Zack: [imitates cat meowing]
Mrs. Tompkins: Also moving ahead are Sam, Ben, Robbie, and... Jake. Great job, guys. This concludes our social skills pageant.

Quote from Mike

Sean: Mr. Heck, Mrs. Heck! How you doing, little Brickster?
Brick: I've already done my social time for today. Thanks.
Frankie: You see? This is why he didn't move up. We dropped the ball. He didn't learn to play. He can't make friends. He's gonna miss his childhood, and it's all our fault.
Mike: Let's just take a step back a second. Is childhood really that great?
