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.

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. Everyone comforts Frankie before driving off while leaving their snack bag on the side of the road again. 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, while leaving their bag of snacks behind, as a plane flies overhead. |
