***POSSIBLE SPOILERS***
In my review of "The Proud Family Movie," I mentioned that I was bummed that Penny Proud and her friends never got to make the Gross Sisters pay for their bullying and extortion. Thankfully, nothing like that has ever happened on "The Middle" when the Hecks deal with the Glossners. In fact in almost every episode involving the Glossners, the Hecks seem to be the only family who are able or willing to deal with them.
Axl seems to be living the kind of life that contradicts what Mike wants to teach him about being a man, and he keep rubbing it in his father's face. Brick is trying to earn his driver's license, but his parents are doing everything he can to prevent him from reaching that point. Sue is about to return to college after Spring Break, and wants to use a snowglobe she found as a device for declaring her love for Sean Donahue. On her way out though, she finds out her car was stolen.
Once Frankie reveals that car was stolen by the Glossner family, she and Sue are convinced there's nothing they can do about it. Mike refuses to give up and calls the police, but even the cop who interviews them thinks getting the car back is a lost cause. Then during a family discussion, Mike decides that the only way to stop them is for the whole family to take matters into their own hands. Unfortunatley, they find that when they go after the Glossners, they have invited a few extra relatives for support, and though most of the Hecks escape, they turn Sue into a prisoner of war.
You know how sometimes they say it's always darkest before the dawn? Just as in the first Glossners episode "The Neighbors" from Season One, the rest of the neighborhood is encouraged to take a stand against them once the Hecks do. Now they know they have a better chance of taking them down. One of the best scenes is when Axl has trouble breaking through the front door and Mike steps in to help. He doesn't just kick the door down, he STOMPS on it! I'm almost afraid to ask if Neil Flynn can do that in real life.
I'm not going to reveal the ending of it, but I will say it's almost as uplifting as the ending of "The Christmas Miracle." Although by referring to that episode, I may have ended it up spoiling it just enough, but you should still watch it anyhow.
