FRANKIE FINDS HERSELF HAVING TO WASH DISHES WITH THE OUTSIDE HOSE WHEN THE KITCHEN SINK DROPS TO THE FLOOR, SUE NEEDS TO MASTER TINIKLING FOR P.E. CREDIT, AND BRICK BREAKS MIKE'S MOWER AND ATTEMPTS TO USE ONE OF AXL'S TACTICS TO FIX THE SITUATION, ON ABC'S "THE MIDDLE"

"The Sink Hole" -- The Heck house once again throws a curve ball to the family when the kitchen sink caves in and drops out of sight, causing Frankie to have to wash the dishes with the outside hose. Meanwhile, Sue is informed that, since Wrestlerettes does not qualify for P.E. credit, she needs to master tinikling -- a difficult dance routine for a clumsy Sue -- to get the credit she needs to graduate, and after Brick accidentally breaks Mike's lawn mower, he takes Axl's advice to try and play the hero card by taking his dad's wallet then returning it later, thinking this will divert Mike's attention away from the busted mower, on "The Middle," WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12 (8:00-8:30 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.
