S1E5 The Block Party

Brick's teachers inform Frankie and Mike that he struggles with social interactions. Thinking that joining a basketball team could help him connect with peers, Mike tries to make it happen, but the plan doesn't go as expected. However, during a neighborhood block-party lawnmower contest, Mike discovers Brick's unique skills. Meanwhile, Frankie signs up for a booster club, aiming to gather funds for new jerseys for Axl's football team. Unfortunately, Axl is unwilling to part with his old jersey, complicating her efforts.
