In the next episode of "The Middle," Mike Heck's (Neil Flynn) laid-back brother Rusty (Norm MacDonald) gives Sue (Eden Sher) a very extravagant gift.
The synopsis and promotional pictures for the upcoming installment, which is titled "Guess Who's Coming to Frozen Dinner," were just released recently, and they show Rusty having dinner with Mike's whole family. The happy-go-lucky brother has just come into town and is looking forward to spending time with his niece and nephews. While having dinner, Rusty presents Mike's daughter Sue with an expensive gift which thrills her to no end. Her eyes widen as she looks at the gift, and then gives Rusty a nice big hug. Mike sees the gift but is a bit suspicious of it. Apparently, he thinks that Rusty may have stolen it or got the item in an illegal way.
He holds the gift in his hand and believes that the item is genuine. However, based on what he knows about his brother, he doesn't appear too confident about his brother's gesture. It remains to be seen if Rusty will be able to prove that he bought it, or if Mike will turn out to be right. In the meantime, Axl (Charlie McDermmott) blows his first paycheck on a widescreen TV. He later blames his mom Frankie (Patricia Heaton) for not teaching him how to handle his money.
In the last episode, Mike grew tired of hearing Sue and her brother Brick (Atticus Shaffer) fighting about the hole in the wall that divides their rooms. He decided to give them an ultimatum and to fix the wall otherwise there would be consequences. In the end, the kids were able to repair the wall on their own.
"The Middle" season 9 episode 14 will hit the airwaves on Tuesday, Feb. 6, at 8 p.m. EST on ABC.
