In an attempt to become more social, Brick shocks Frankie and Mike by informing them that he'd like to go to his middle school's Fall Fantasy Dance, Axl begins to panic when he discovers that he needs to declare a college major by the end of the week -- and he has absolutely no idea what he wants to do, and Sue finds herself becoming a bit twitchy and nervous when she begins to drink a lot of coffee in an attempt to appear more mature and sophisticated, now that she's a high school senior.

It's Halloween night, and Frankie and Mike are stunned - and a bit scared -- to learn that Brick has invited a girl over to the house just to hang with him. Meanwhile, to help supplement her college fund, Sue attempts to put together a pumpkin patch screening of the animated classic, "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown," and Axl reluctantly goes to the library to write a history paper and ironically gets locked inside after staying past closing hours.
