Sue breaks up with her high school boyfriend PJ because she fears that marriage would signal the end of her opportunity for personal growth. But when she is subsequently forced to move back in with her parents, her quest for independence and emotional honesty clashes with their conflict-avoidant mindset.

Sue decides it's time to get her own driver's license. She wants Trish to teach her, but Trish's car only goes in reverse. So Jimmy helps her -- and gets arrested. When Lottie agrees to help her, the cops stop them. Finally, Sue lets Spud teach her to drive. Unfortunately for Sue, she fails her test, because she didn't turn the blinkers on early enough.
