The Hecks find out that Darrin has proposed to Sue. Meanwhile, Axl attempts to cure Brick of quirks and tics after taking an intro to psychology class.

Quote from Sue

Darrin: Hey, there's my fiancée. I'm glad you're here. I'm just trying to figure out how to fit all my stuff in the house. Of course, I'm gonna leave space for your stuff, too.
Sue: Yeah, about that... Darrin, I wanted to talk to you about something. Honestly, I couldn't have been more thrilled and flattered when you proposed to me.
Darrin: Oh, I know. I've never seen that look on your face before. [chuckles] Oh, and I don't mean to step on the toes of the bride-to-be, but I booked a DJ and put a soft hold on the VFW hall. Unless you want to consider the business center at the cozy suites. What do you think?
Sue: VFW's fine, but here's the thing... Darrin, honestly, I couldn't have been more thrilled and flattered when you proposed to me, but I am still in high school. I mean, I don't even graduate until June 5th...
Darrin: Oh, don't worry. The hold I put at the VFW hall is for the 6th... a Saturday. Or would you rather have it on the Sunday?
Sue: Saturday works, but listen... Darrin, honestly, I couldn't have been more thrilled and flattered when you proposed to me, but here's the thing... Oh, boy. [turns around] Uh... Uh, Darrin, honestly, I couldn't have been more flattered and thrilled when you proposed to me, but...
Darrin: What are you doing?
Sue: S-sometimes I just like to talk with my back to people. [laughs]
Darrin: Sue. [turns her around] I know you're a little stressed 'cause there's a million details, but you don't need to worry about this one. For our honeymoon, I'm taking you to Weeki Wachee, Florida, to see the Mermaids. [Sue chuckles] I want to start our life together by giving you everything you've ever wanted. So, what do you think, Sue? Florida for our honeymoon?
Sue: Sure. [laughs]

Quote from Sue

Sue: [o.s.] Night.
Frankie: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Get in here. How'd it go? How did he take it?
Sue: Right. Okay. Here's the thing...
Mike: You didn't do it.
Frankie: Sue!
Sue: I'm sorry. I-I tried. It's just, he did the eyebrow thing again, a-and if you saw it, you'd know. It's really hard. [whimpers]
Frankie: No, no, no! No snugglebed for you.
Sue: Oh, please! Please! Please!
Frankie: We gave you snugglebed last time, and it led to nothing.

Quote from Axl

Sue: Look, I will handle this, okay? [sighs] It's just that Darrin is not making it easy. There are a lot of dynamics at play here, Axl, that you are not aware of, dynamics that involve soft holds on hotels and eyebrows and Mermaids...
Axl: He's not making it easy? [sighs] That's it... I'm gonna go kill him.
Mike: Hey, I'm the dad. If anyone gets to kill him, it's me.
Axl: Oh, no. You had your chance, and you blew it.
Mike: Oh, no, I didn't take my chance yet.

Quote from Sue

Sue: Nobody is doing anything. In less than two weeks, I am going to be 18. That is old enough to get my ears pierced without a signed note from my parents. I can do this. Please promise me you will let me handle this.
Thank you.
Frankie: Whoa-ho-ho, hold it, sister! You'll snuggle when the deed is done.

Quote from Mike

Darrin: Hello, sir. May I come in?
Mike: It's your funeral.
Darrin: [chuckles] Good one. I love your humor. I had something I wanted to talk to you about. [Mike sighs] Mr. Heck, I know I might've done things a little out of order, but I wanted that element of surprise. I hope you can understand that. But I'm a sucker for tradition, so here goes. Sir, I love your daughter more than anything in the whole world, so I would be honored if you were to give me her hand in marriage.
Mike: No.
Darrin: [chuckles] Okay, I get it... you're giving me a hard time, making me sweat. I guess I expected that. But listen, Dad, I know...
Mike: Listen who?!
Darrin: [nervously] Too early for the "dad" thing. Got it. Uh, uh, the point is, Sue and I are super-psyched about our future together...
Mike: Actually, Darrin, about that... the thing is, Sue isn't...
Frankie: Mike? Do you want cheese on your burger? I always leave that decision up to you because you're the one eating the burger, so it's not really my place to tell you how your burger should be, you know, espec...
Mike: I get it. Cheese. Okay. You know what, Darrin? You don't need my blessing. You only need Sue's.
Darrin: She already said yes.
Mike: Well, you might want to check on that.

Quote from Sue

Peg: There she is, my future daughter-in-law! [chuckles] Sue, meet my sister and your new auntie, Rhonda.
Rhonda: You're gorgeous... absolutely gorgeous.
Sue: I'm sorry... I was just looking for Darrin.
Peg: Oh, you just missed him, but you've got perfect timing. I was just dropping something by. This!
Sue: Oh, wow. That is just... Wow.
Peg: Now, I don't want to presume anything, and I completely get it if you want to pick out a new dress with your mom, but every McGrew sister has worn this dress.
Rhonda: I've worn it three times.
Peg: Ooh, try it on.
Sue: No, no, no. I just had gym last period, so, I'm sweaty.
Peg: Oh, come on, it'll be fun.
Sue: Probably gonna get your dress all dirty. No, no, no, no. I'm all sweaty.
Peg: Oh, it'll be fine.
Rhonda: Now, Darrin says you picked out the VFW for your reception.
Sue: Well, everything isn't completely nailed down.
Peg: Oh, it's a great space. Have you seen it?
Sue: I think I went to a birthday party there once. I think they had a Pac-man machine. That's really tight.
Peg: Oh!
Sue: Oh, what is... that?
Peg: Oh, Sue, it looks beautiful.
Rhonda: You're gonna be the prettiest bride in Orson.
Peg: And then come the babies!

Quote from Sue

Axl: Oh, crap.
Mike: The hell?
Frankie: Oh, my God. Tell me you're not married, Sue.
Sue: I can explain.
Frankie: Say the words, Sue! I need to hear the words.
Sue: I didn't get married. I went over to Darrin's, and then his mom and her sister. Oh, and then... then...
then they're like "have babies"!
Mike: It's been three days, Sue. How could you not tell him?
Sue: Well... [sobbing] I'm little, and want my daddy to fix my problems.

Quote from Mike

Mike: That's it.
Frankie: No, Mike. I'll go. You're too angry.
Mike: Actually, I'm the perfect amount of angry.
Frankie: Trust me, this is better coming from a woman. Don't...
Mike: We tried a woman. She's 0 for 3. Get...
Frankie: No, no, don't go.
Mike: Frankie, this is a dad's job, and I'm gonna do it. Gimme the keys.
Frankie: No, no, no. You can't do it.
Sue: Stop it. Stop it. No, no, no! Don't take the keys don't try to fight me on this. No, listen, I'm telling you, you're making a big mistake. Stop it, please! I can't stand what this is doing to us. As much as I would like for you guys to fix my problems, it has to be me. Quitting, for me, is not an option. I am going to take off the McGrew wedding dress and get this done. [groans] [grunts] Okay. Can someone help me with the zipper?
