This backfires when it becomes apparent that those kids have outgrown their quirks while Brick still hasn't. Brick and Cindy enjoy a private prom at the Orson Public Library; Mike tells Frankie he is happy to have a child who doesn't think like everyone else. Elsewhere, Lexie scolds Axl for not getting Sue a 21st birthday gift. He gets Sue excited by telling her he is planning something special but, when the day comes, Axl is completely stumped.

When their effort falls short, they come up with a gift idea that's almost as good. Meanwhile, Axl tells Mike about a job opportunity at a national sporting goods chain that has more advancement potential than his current position, but the job is in Denver.

Meanwhile, the usually overly optimistic Sue is depressed over Sean leaving for Ghana without her getting the chance to express her feelings for him. At the end of the episode, Axl tells his parents that he is going to take the job, much to Frankie's dismay, and Sue leaves the infamous snow globe in the duffel bag that Sean has packed for his trip.

Frankie tries acting calmly in front of Axl, hoping he will one day visit her after he moves to Denver. Axl first thinks he has a month to prepare, but Mike tells him he actually has four days. The night before the family leaves, Brick tries to secure a new spot in the car. After an argument, the siblings agree it will be difficult to adjust to living apart from one another. The next day, as the family leaves, Mike gives Axl Big Mike's engraved watch as a parting gift. Sean is stopped by airport security because of the snow globe Sue put in his bag, so he quickly catches up with the Hecks, allowing him and Sue to confess their mutual love. Frankie finally breaks down over Axl's departure, but Mike reassures her it is natural for grown children to move away. In flash-forwards, Axl moves back to Orson, marries Lexie, and has three sons who behave like his former slacker self, Sue and Sean marry after several break-ups, and Brick becomes a successful author. Back in the present, the family resumes driving to Denver as a plane flies overhead.
