Season 4
(2012)
Overview
While an unexpected turn of events might force Frankie to reevaluate her career at the car dealership, Mike's made it his mission to ensure that Axl somehow earns a sports scholarship to college next year. Meanwhile, Sue's not only navigating high school, but wants to navigate Indiana roads by getting her driver's license. It's no wonder that youngest son Brick keeps his nose in a book!
