The Break Up
Season 1 | Episode 117 | Aired 03/09/2010
Frankie and Mike love Morgan. She’s the perfect girl for Axl. They just can’t figure out what she’s doing with him. Morgan is so driven and Axl is so parked. Nevertheless, these two crazy kids are in love. Or they were in love until Morgan realizes that she needs to be with someone who’s a little more focused. She breaks up with Axl which leaves him crying in his mom’s arms.

When Mike comes home, he wants to know why Axl is crying. This utterly humiliates the lovesick teen. Frankie tries to convince him that there’s nothing wrong with a man shedding some tears. To prove her point, she plays a recording of a tearful message Mike once left her while they were dating. Playing in the background is the classic 1981 hit Hold On Loosely from .38 Special. Great tune, sad setting. Now, Mike is the one who’s humiliated.
