Season 1 | Episode 101 | Aired 09/29/2009
Sue auditions for show choir; Brick asks Frankie to come to his class presentation dressed in a costume; Frankie thinks she has finally sold a car.
Frankie rushes back to the dealership in her superhero outfit to close a deal with a previous customer, but she’s a little stressed during her sales pitch. The customer is also a mother of three and understands how hard it is for Frankie. They bond as they go out on a test drive-turned-joyride. After possibly hitting something in the road, Frankie hops out to make sure there’s no damage to the car. The driver then takes off leaving Frankie behind in a cloud of dust. Turns out this unexpected car thief really is a mother of three kids…all of them in jail.
So who can you call when you’re left stranded in the middle of nowhere? Well, your family, of course. “Rough day?” Mike asks as he rolls up in the car to find his superhero wife stuffing her face with a discarded snack cake she found in the road. Frankie can’t help but smile through the chocolate cream residue on her face as her husband and three kids have come to take her home. We’re smiling, too. They even brought her dinner, having made it just like she does, in a bag full of wax paper-wrapped fast food. We’re just wondering if they’ll make it home in time for Dancing with the Stars.
