Photo Flash: THE MIDDLE's 'Hallelujah Hoedown,' Airing 5/8

On THE MIDDLE's upcoming episode, titled "Hallelujah Hoedown," as Mother's Day approaches, Frankie wants to ensure that Mike gets her something she actually wants for a gift and informs all of the kids of her wish so that at least one of them will clue in a clueless Mike. Meanwhile, Sue asks Reverend TimTom for advice when she begins to resent her friends' happiness over getting their driver's licenses after she has repeatedly failed the test, and Cassidy stuns Axl with some bad news during the prom, on WEDNESDAY, MAY 8 (8:00-8:30 p.m., ET) on ABC.
