Review: THE MIDDLE season 2, episode 4 “The Quarry”

Mike (Neil Flynn) catches Axl (Charlie McDermott) skipping school but it turns out he’s on suspension… for skipping school. Mike decides to teach Axl a lesson by making him work at the quarry for the rest of his suspension. At first Axl annoys Mike and you can see that Mike can’t wait for him to be back at school. Mike’s revised plan backfires. The main problem is one of the quarrymen, Chuck (Greg Cipes), has everything that appeals to Axl. Mike is trying to get his message across but every time he tries, something else attracts Axl to the life Chuck is living.

Mike has a unique way of talking about and to his kids. He refers to Axl as an idiot to his face and to Frankie (Patricia Heaton). When he calls Axl an idiot, he does it with the best of intentions and it actually helps to get his point across in explaining why Axl shouldn’t quit school.
